Poll question: What is the best video game system?

[Kid_A]

1. Playstation 2, for 3 reasons:

1. GRAND
2. THEFT
3. AUTO

[Catholic Sensation]

2. well then I have four words for you

1. it's
2. also
3. on
4. xbox

[Occulus]

11. Not nearly as pretty though.

Even though an Xbox is basically a specialized PC in a box.

[Kid_A]

16. Yes, but...

When a new GTA game comes out, it's only on PS2. Like when San Andreas comes out in October for PS2, it probably won't be out on XBox for another year.

So nyah.:P

[IronLionZion]

3. PC

GTA 4 reasons:
1. it's
2. also
3. on
4. PC

[x-g.o.p.er]

4. Atari 2600!!

How could you not have that on the list?

[sus]

5. Pong kicks ASS!!!

I love it.

:headbang:

12. Ehhhhhhh

I was gonna say that..lol

6. A PC...

with a 200GB hard drive, a 2.0 GHz or faster processor, 1GB RAM, and a high-end ATI Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.

Video resolution and rendering blows away anything that a console connected to a television is capable of, configurability is much greater, and add-on mods craeted by members of the gaming community enhance the experience. For instance, for GTA3 and Vice City, on PC, you can replace ALL of the vehicles with models of actual cars, install whole new level and mission sets, edit the performance characteristics of all the vehicles...and modifications exist for most popular games on the PC.

10. Not to mention

that with many first-person shooters on the PC, the gamer has the capability of actually creating whole new levels, monsters, weapons, and textures in from scratch with editors that these days usually ship right along with the game. Doom et al, Unreal, FarCry, Half Life, and others all allow this.

And you're right about rendering, and it'll likely always be that way because it's possible to upgrade the video card(s) on a PC. Thus, you can get just sick framerates and realism that's not possible on a console.

[Endangered Specie]

15. Amen to that... albeit it IS expensive.

7. PC !!!

:headbang:

[pocket]

8. PC

Baldur's Gate on the PC knows no equal, especially not the stripped down playstation version.

[Baclava]

9. X-box

Good reasons?

Mod chips

200gig hard drives

[Touchdown]

13. Gotta do the SNES.

Call me old fashioned, but running to the side in a 2D world is more my old guy speed...and 16 bit was the epitome of those days. I love the zelda/metroid/mario/street fighter/space megaforce/r-type/tetris games were the best. Keep your high res, first person fancy pants games. I've got a REAL game system stuck ...somewhere...in...my...closet...I swore I saw it her last week!

Genesis was also fun!

14. Splinter Cell for the PC

ROCKS=)

I would rather have a PC over a game system any day more options there =)

17. You should ask Will Pitt.

I hear he's quite the specialist. :evilgrin:

[VelmaD]

18. Ask Will Pitt...

19. Great minds, etc. (nt)

[VelmaD]

21. Yup...

All great minds run in the same gutter. :)

[Lestat]

20. I like the Gamecube better than the XBox...

but I must say...SNES had the best games, IMO.

[boobooday]

22. We have a PS2 and a GameCube

But GameCube has the CUTEST games.

My favorite is Animal Crossing -- it is the sweetest game ever! SOOO cool -- my entire family was addicted to it for a year.

23. PC!!!!!!!!11!1!11111

I had to do the thing with the ones...just had to

[jpgray]

24. NES is still king--the game design there just hasn't been beaten yet (nt)
