I only play PC games these days. I had PlayStation 1 and 2, Famicon / NES (aka Dendy), and some other consoles in the past. But sold them all a long time ago.
I always prefered PC. Mouse + Keyboard = the best choice. Besides, I only like FPS (NOLF 1/2), RPG (NWN 1/2), and Action/RPG (Torchlight 1/2).
Infact, for the last 2 yrs I've being playing only Torchlight 1/2. Nothing else as I can recall...

P.S. I was thinking about buying Xbox360, but then realized there're no games for me to play, so I passed.

Like Jim, I sold all my (important) consoles long ago due whatever reasons. At one point when I was still working for a game developer, I had about all the consoles available but since then I've got rid of most. I still have an old PS2 gathering dust somewhere but I play mainly PC games nowadays anyway. I like many kinds of games but unfortunately don't have as much as time to play as I'd want.

Only time I get to play console somewhat regularly these days is when we get together with friends like once a month and play some volume of Halo or any other similar games with multiple consoles in 4-member teams around the house. You can imagine the noise when everyone shouts tongue-in-cheek insults to the teams in other rooms. :lol: When I play at home, I prefer FPS or driving/racing games, I'm not really an online player.
Work occasionally keeps me off the grid but I'll be around sooner or later.

Bugbear or Remedy (both are finnish joints)? I assume you worked in Finland?
I just hope you've never worked for EA or Blizzard! :lol: Coz they suck a lot, treat their employees like garbage...

The last time I played anything multiplayer, it was like 10 yrs ago! Or even more...

Remedy, over 10 years ago. I lived like 100 meters from the place.

The home of legendary Max Payne! One of the greatest PC games ever. Just forget that terrible sequel...

Indeed. I didn't think the sequel was that bad but I hated it for being waaaaay too short, played through in a few hours. Too many sequels for hit games are like that. I enjoy games you can keep on playing for weeks. More challenge and better value for your money I guess.

Too bad the Max Payne movie was so terrible; it started fine by following the game here and there but soon turned into crap and the remainder of the movie wasn't any better.

That love story was silly, stupid and totally out of place. And Mona really sucked in every way...
And yeah, it was short and boring. Never replayed and hardly will.

Mark Wahlberg had a cone up his butt hole all the time. :lol: And the movie itself had no style at all.
Just another medium budget actioner.

I got rid of my X Box 360 years ago to my brother & went back to playing the likes of Goldeneye on the N64 :oops: .Doesn't half strain your eyes trying to play most N64 games now.

Goldeneye 64 is my fave game of all time Mark! I'm just a casual gamer. I go through phases where I play non-stop for two weeks and then don't switch it on for several months. Recently finished up The Walking Dead game though which was great fun and just ordered Dirt Showdown which is my type of game.

I've been playing Mass Effect 3 for the last 3 days and can't stop! Fantastic game (those DLCs are great too). Way better then the sequel.
I'll replay the first and second parts when I'm done with the third one. :-D

BTW I've bought myself a new video card coz my old one died. :)

I've got the first 'episode' of THE WALKING DEAD GAME and have been enjoying it so far; are the other episodes as good as the first, Sam?
