Ahem

Since I was 3, so 14 years.
PS1 PS2 Xbox 360 and I've always had a capable PC
Difficult... I'll pick a random 3 that I enjoyed a lot. Crashed, Beyond Good and Evil, Fallout 3.
Xbox 360, the fact that multiplayer is now a big part of gaming and party chat is a big part of social gaming makes it just brilliant, so it just beat the PS2.
That's difficult... either RPG blends or RTS'.

 

[Irridium]

Years: 16
Consoles: PC, Atari 2600, NES, Playstation 1, 2, and 3, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy(all iterations except Macro), DS, PSP
Favorite game: Timesplitters Future Perfect. All Timesplitters games are the greatest games ever. The Timesplitters games have all been about fun, and they deliver. With funny, interesting stories, good characters, fantastic map-editor, 4 player split-screen, and just a whole bunch more make it my favorite games of all time. OF ALL TIME!
Console: Can't say. If I was hard pressed it would be either the Dreamcast or PS1. Dreamcast because of how many amazing games I played that were on it, PS1 because of all the time I spent playing Crash Team Racing and Tekken 2 with my dad.
Genre: Honestly, nothing. I love them all, and don't pay attention to genre's much, since most games have elements from many in them.

[EmzOLV]

Years you have been gaming: I think the first game I played was with my dad at his work, and it was Space Quest/Police Quest, which means in the region of 19 years. I was 6 at the time!

Consoles you have owned:Atari, SNES, N64, PS2, Xbox360

Favourite Game of all time:Ahh so many! If we're going by the longest amount of time playing one single game it's going to be Mario Kart because I've been playing that the longest. But in terms of what I enjoy now, something from the Final Fantasy series because I just get so entertained with them. And Dead Space was my favourite 'horror' because I nearly peed my pants!

Favourite Console:Although I still have my SNES, N64 and PS2, I have to say my 360 because I have so many more great games on it. It's the one always permanently ready and waiting to go!

Favourite Genre:I enjoy a bit of everything, mostly RPGs, RTS and a little bit of FPS

Favourite game: I really don't know. I want to say Rayman for nostalgic reasons but I think FFX or KH2 effected me the most emotionally. I'll go with KH2.

Favourite genre: Probably RPG.
