I have owned all 3 next gen consoles at one point. Well actually I have owned 3 Wii's and 3 PS3s but I always end up selling them. All I play is Xbox 360 on xbox live. I also play some World of Warcraft.

Yes, I am a "gamer". Although, to me a "gamer" isn't what you mean....but I am both your definition and mine. :)

To me, a "gamer" is someone who plays rpgs and other tabletop games. Which I do.

However, I am also a fan of computer games and my Wii. I play mostly simulation/strategy games.... Civilization Series, Tropico, Age of Empires, Populus, Black and White, any "tycoon" game, any in the "Sims" series (The Sims, Sim City, etc....)...anything where I get to pretend I'm the all-powerful deity.:evil_lol:

We own way too many systems (old and new), but lately all our game time goes into playing Final Fantasy 11, me on the PS2 and my husband on the PS3, with the tvs side by side. Loved Metroid on the Wii, used to play a lot of Unreal Tournament and Diablo 2 on the PC, Yoshi's Island is a near-permanent fixture in my DS...

I love table tops. Also I have played every Age of Emp. and I love the tycoon series as well. Have you tried the Caeser series? IF you like Civ you'll love Caeser as well.

I've played one of the Caesars, it was pretty fun. Don't know where it went though...

I've got a wii and a 360. I will play anything at least once. My fave genres are fps, rpg/mmorpg, and rts. Right now i'm splitting my time between Fallout 3 and Fable 2. Both great games btw. Trying to get back into guild wars on my pc too. And my DS seems to have permanently attached itself to my hip.

Hmm....seems I didn't mention what I am currently playing.

On the Wii: World of Goo, and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

PC: Some old school Roller Coaster Tycoon.

It's a pretty awesome game. I was looking for something different to play over thanksgiving break. And I found that and I haven't played it for years. So, I reinstalled and then proceeded to complete four scenarios in a row, lol. I couldn't stop.

I really want to play my Tropico games, but I can't find them. I think its my fav. Sim of all time. I like humor. But RCT will do for now.

Man you guys are seriously loaded to have the next gens and all those games :(

I play a lot of DS, ps1, and random online stuff... as that's all I have, lol. Games I'm playing now are: the new harvest moon, diablo 2, any puzzle game (mah jongg at the moment) and my new fav: http://www.allgamesallfree.com/games1452-draw-my-thing.html

I can't speak for everyone, but i know for me i'm not loaded. I just found this awesome little thing....its called....a credit card. :headbang2:lol. I made my g/f hide them from me though. I was starting to buy too much. Sigh... How is the new harvest moon anyway? I haven't had a chance to check it out. Is it pretty much the same as all the other harvest moons? On my ds i'm switching between dragon quest IV and civilization revolution. I have way too many games to play and not enough time. lol.

AshK
12-05-2008, 1:25 AM
The new harvest moon is so-so. Of course its similar to all the others in the basics (grow crops, care for animals, find a mate), but it has a lot of new elements that make the game very challenging. There's no "town" to start with, you have to build all the roads, all the buildings, all the bridges. No mine to start out with either...so money is extremely tight and reliant on crops in the beginning. Also, if you don't keep up your friendships with daily chit-chat and presents, your friendship points decrease.

There's some really awful things, too. The gameplay revolves around the stilus, so your hand gets tired very quickly. I rubberband the stilus to my finger just to make it easier. Also, there's no means of increasing your stamina/fatigue points. You have to mod your tools (i.e. spend insane amounts of cash) so they use less points. Everything is insanely expensive...Cows, chickens, buildings, tools are the priciest of any HM game thus far.

Lol i've listed a LOT of negatives. I like the game for it's challenges, however, a far amount of die-hard harvest moon lovers hate it. It's not the best harvest moon ever....

I have owned and played many games through the years but I mostly play Halo 3 in Xbox 360.

I'm too poor and busy with school to keep up to date with games anymore. I used to play Diablo 2, Starcraft, Everquest, Harvest Moon, Ikaruga, Gunbound, Ragnarok, and more I can't think of. I'm sort of surprised to even hear people still play D2, I quit during the 1.08 patch when everything sorta went poopy. I'm sorta waiting for D3 and SC2 but I'm debating to touch the game or not cause I have a very bad habit of playing 15-18 hours a day when I'm very addicted to a game (ex. Some of the games I listed above.).

I've been playing games for years now. Recently I've been playing Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Gears of War, Army of Two (really good if you haven't checked it out) and Diablo 2. Once upon a time when I had more free time, I loved to play RPG's. Favorite ones of all time had to be FF7 and Breath of Fire 3 and 4.

Unfortunately my 360 recently got the red ring of death, so I haven't been playing that much.

I'm also not loaded. I am a poor grad. student. The Wii was actually my first console purchase, and I have a min. amount of games for it. I essentially spent my tax refund on my Wii. It was a huge decision. When the bill rang up I seriously couldn't believe I had spent that much on entertainment....wow. I'll be putting some Wii games on my Christmas list.

But, I agree that "sacrifices must be made". I haven't purchased new jeans, t-shirts or sweatshirts in like 4 or more years. We are very good about our grocery budget. We never go out...we don't party, drink, etc.... I haven't been to the movies since LAST summer (not this past one, the one before). We get together with friends to play the Wii, Munchkin (a card game), and Dungeons and Dragons (which is pretty cheap to play...dice, paper, pencils). So, all the "extra" money can go to games and fish tanks :p.

I love RPG's as well. My first Final Fantasy was ten =) it was great, then I played FF7, then FF8, they were great. Annd.. I don't know about you folks, but I really love the 2-D fighting action games. One of my personal favorites, King of Fighters, and then going back to the old days with Street Fighter, and the new Guilty Gear;then you have original nintendo 64 super smash brothers, and then gamecube, melee. Gotta love the fighting action.

My husband belongs to gamefly.com which saves a ton of money over buying games. It's basically like blockbuster only with games. You play a game until you are sick of it, send it back and they send the next one on your list. You can also keep the game and pay for it. We've done that with Lego Batman and Lego Spiderman for the kids.

Im also playing Roller Coaster Tycoon again. Its an addicting game. Great fun. But they ruined it with RCT3. When you can ride the rides. Thats stupid.


Currently playing Call of Duty 5 online on the Xbox 360, and Halo 3. RPGs are good too like Fable 2 and of course the Final Fantasy games.

Well since you are playing 360 online and alot of others are why dont we all add each other? My gamertag is jagr200. I play COD4 mainly but I have most of the new games. Although Im one of the best in the world at COD4 so I kinda stick to that lol. I average 30 kills and like 4 or 5 deaths a round. I only play in the evenings though as my time is limited with work and college.

I played, in this particular order: UO, DAoC, WoW, and then DAoC again.

DAoC was the best game ever!

Right now I play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, Spore, and Age of Empires III (all on PC). Up until a few months ago I was a hardcore, end-game raider in World of Warcraft, first as a Mage and then as a Shadow Priest. I also have a PS2 that I virtually never play. I just got Spore for Christmas so I haven't had much time to play that yet. I'm seriously considering buying Enemy Territory: Quake Wars soon.
