Gotta love Metroid Prime (both of them) for the NGC, and I quite enjoyed Viewtiful Joe too, though it was a bit short. My favourite console game ever would probably be Vigilante 8 (and the sequel) - I used to play that all the time. I can still remember some of the special weapon attacks now...

Chrono Cross is very dear to my heart - although it shouldn't, since the gameplay is awfull (far too easy), graphics are average and character development seems non-existant. But ah, there are many memories behind that game, so still my favorite.

Contra 3 was excellent... most of  the Megamans were good... but the true real gem was Time Splitter 2. Man, there are no words. This game was...damn. Well, that was my two cent. I'm much more of a pc player anyway.

My first console was the NES, so Super Mario Brothers have had a great influence in my gaming. The second console was the 16-bit Sega, which had many games like Sonic the Hedgehog on it. Those must be the greatest (console) games I've ever played.

When I was at the age of four, I got my first PC. The era of DOS-games begun in my life. I had reached the point of no return. I almost abandoned my consoles and sunk into the world of PC-gaming, and that is the road I still continue to roam, 12 years later.

But still, I have to dig NES once in a while from the closet and have a round of duckhunt  :)

I've only recently started playing console games so I don't know any of the classics.
My favourites are KOTOR and Jade Empire (both from bioware) and, I must admit, I did like Fable.

Hmmm some of my favourite console games were pretty much every square rpg on the snes, even the ones that didn't make it to NA, had fun with all those games, if I had to pick a favourite though it might have to be Super Mario Bros 3, one of the best of the series and I for sure put in a lot of time with that game when I was younger.

Well, I had the chance to give it a shot, but the price turned me off. I'll wait until the next generation of consoles, so that the prices on those we are playing now will drop :)

The new generation of console didn't leave much classics behind, unless you're not really demanding. Considering the games you said, I'll assume you have a X-BOX - and you call that console gaming ? :)

One game I can recommend you, that I'd like to play one day but that I'll probably not, is the X-Box version of Ninja Gaiden. Fast paced old-school action, like Viewtiful Joe on cocaïne (or so i've heard).

Makes Devil May Cry look like a game for sissies (which it was).

I liked Ninja Gaiden, but I rented it so didn't have much time to play it and I haven't gotten round to buying it.

I liked playing the old ninja gaiden games from the nes, those were fun games, that were really impressive for their time, and the difficulty levels were really challenging, never did play the x-box version, game that I still love playing on the next-gen consoles have to be Soul Calibur 2 for it's great fighting that doesn't get me bored, and Mario Power Tennis, honestly great game, me and my friend have managed to beat 2 doubles on ace, but still haven't beaten pro the max level of computer, we will one day.
