The Console Face-Off

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Which is the better console and why? Nintendo? X-BOX 360? PS3? For example which games are on one and not the other?

Let's all reminisce to the 90's and how Sega touched your life.

What was the first game you bought?

Mine was World of Warcraft.

[Key]

Legend of Zelda (Ocarina of Time) - my childhood and adulthood.

To answer your questions:

1) PS3 is the best console unless you really love online gaming and need an optimum interface layout (at a cost of $60) or if you're just really into Nintendo franchises

2) First game I bought? Hard to remember, my parents bought me PC games like Lemmings and Ultima VI in the early 90s and Game Boy games like Tetris.

The PlayStation was far superior to the N64. Come at me Nintendo fanboys

n64 better

why?

mario 64
ocarina of time
goldeneye

[jackhammer]

Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Metal Gear Solid, Tekken 3 and Medievil. PS1 all day. Mario Bros on the SNES is the daddy but it's hard to beat those classics.

be honest that magic is there cause you grew up with one and not the other lol, we're all guilty to a degree

to me, the N64 does win for splitscreen multiplayer but the PSX is far superior for single player

Plus PSX had 5 good games coming out for every 1 N64 game. It was quality and quantity to just N64's quality.

Nintendo's games were truly pioneering though. Ocarina of time is still being replicated to this day, goldeneye brought FPS to consoles. Mario 64 has better controls than most modern platformers.
