So, fellow guildies, what platform of gaming is your favorite? What are your favorite game types and why? What games are your favorites in each style? Talk about your love for the game here!
I drift toward older consoles and PC games. My favorites are older roleplaying or adventure types though I excel at strategy games as well, once I adjust to them. I don't play many handheld games and I don't own any of the newer consoles so I can't really experiment with them. My favorite roleplaying games are Legend of Dragoon and Star Ocean: The Second Story. Those two ate hours of my childhood and proved to have an enduring storyline and a good amount of replay ability (I beat Star Ocean a few months ago after nearly ten years of owning the game). My favorite strategy games are for the PC - StarCraft and Alpha Centauri. StarCraft is a real-time strategy game and recently had its successor, StarCraft II, come to the shelves (and there's a second part to that coming soon) and thus fervor for it has been resurrected. Alpha Centauri is an old turn-based strategy game that was an offshoot of the Civilization series. It is set on a planet orbiting our closest neighboring star system and shows humanity progressing to new levels of technology and warfare on an alien world.

I mostly prefer to game via a console, I'm not one for PC games too much these days.
For consoles, I like the 360 best, the PS3, to me, seems like it's trying too hard for graphics. But that's just me.
As far as games goes, I prefer shooting games (sometimes an adventure one here and there). Right now I'm still in the works of Splinter Cell: Conviction. The one game I'm looking forward to it release date is Dead Island 3nodding

I'm a PC gamer. I play Guild Wars, WoW (Sometimes), Portal 2, and team fortress 2 (I love this one XD) But yea, I prefer PC games because I can just bring it anywhere with me. I've played Portal 2 on the bus when going from college to home on breaks and I've played games in the airport when waiting for a flight, etc. 3nodding

Heck, I never even played the first Portal game, so my knowledge of PC gaming is clearly limited.

I think the games for the 360 try to hard for graphics. Personal opinion. My brother hogs the 360 most of the time. I can only really use it when friends are over. Then we play on the kinnect. The PS3 is easier to use in my opinion and the graphics aren't as plastic-like(what my mom says) as the 360. I prefer adventure games. Right now I'm playing Mini Ninjas just because its cute. Final Fantasy games are always my favorite though.

Final Fantasy games are always my favorite though. To each their own I suppose. The other flaw to the PS3, that I know I experience, is the hand cramps from the controller. Plus I like the analog positions on the 360 controllers, I feel like I can keep my thumbs relaxed instead of stressed.

The PS3 controller is kinda uncomfortable, but I'm not a 24/7 gamer so it doesn't really affect me so much as it does my brothers. Have a hand cramp from the ps3 as i type this actually. heh

Depends on the game and if I'm actually in the mood.

I've been gaming for so long I don't get any issues with my hands ... of course, that may not really be a good thing, either. Beyond the actual consoles I also send a great deal of time on my computer, typing away on silly things like this. :D

I do enjoy console gaming, but I love playing on handhelds more. Only reason is because I can take my handhelds wherever I want with me (as long as they're charged).
I currently only have a DSi. Don't own too many games for it, but most of them are rpgs (Pokemon HeartGold, Black, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2). I like them a lot, but I am currently stuck in some area on the third game.

PC Gaming is superior in every way; I prefer playing games such as Fallout 3 or the Sims on the PC.
I do own a console, however, and it's entertaining nevertheless. I prefer the Sony Playstation 3 over the Xbox anyday.
When it comes to handheld systems, I own a DS in order to play Mario Kart or Pokemon and that is it. I love it just as much as I love the PS3

I'm a console gamer. Have all the current consoles plus a ton of consoles dating back to Atari 2600.
I usually do multiplayer on XBox, single player on PlayStation, and Nintendo exclusives on Wii.
I do have a few games for PC i.e. The Sims 4 and RPG Maker VX Ace.
