I'm pretty sure most of us own at least two "gaming consoles". To me this also includes the handhelds. Which one are you playing the most right now?

For me, it's still the Nintendo DS. It's been a lot of fun to play since I got it. And the DSi got a lot more fun with the new Flipnote app (downloaded for free of course). I guess to me it's the "YouTube" for the DSi. Of course there are also the cameras and games and the soundapp which I also have to use with the Flipnote app.

...

No. The PC and Laptops are NOT consoles... at least not by my definition.

In the beginning there was nothing. There'll be nothing in the end...

Has to be the 360 right now, and that'll probably stay unchanged until the middle of next year.

I still play the DS, every night usually, Scribblenauts is incredible:

On the 360 I've played through ODST and Godfather2, plan to get Operation Flashpoint 2, looks like my cup of tea.

My brother will bring me his PS3 as soon as it arrives, then he'll be too lazy to pack it up, so it'll stay at my house forever. Got LBP, GT5, and Killzone2 waiting for that.

At the moment...none, I didn't bring any up to Uni with me. Then again I'm missing my 360 (sad isn't it?) so I might ask my parents to bring it up, but the reason I didn't bring it was because of distractions and so far, I've been very focused, so it'd seem to be a shame to break that. If you were to include Laptops, I have been playing Spore.

For my 360, I think all I've got left to complete is Far Cry 2, Lost Odyssey and Infinite Undiscovery, so I was playing them more towards the end of summer, if you count expansion, I still need Point Lookout and Broken Steel for Fallout 3, so in that respect, it's not complete and that I've not done all of the side-quests yet either - Mothership Zeta I think, so far was the most satisfying to complete. I was also playing a lot of GoW, Halo 3 and Star Ocean: TLH over the summer, though Halo 3 took at day to complete when paired up with my sister, but beating her on multiplayer was fun, but I suppose Karma came around because my flat-mate just fries me, and just about everybody else on his 360.

I wish I didn't break my DS, I still need to get a new one, Scribblenauts looks fun, it seems you can even have a fight to the death between God and Cthulu, I think that for me would be the selling point, even if a little blasphemous.

I wonder if you could re-enact Ragnarök? Write in 'Jormungand' and 'Thor' and see what happens.

Console wise, it's a toss up between my 360 and DS at the moment... I'm hooked on FIFA 10 and I'm playing Scribblenauts any chance I get. Having Manbearpig in the game was an awesome reference

From another forum, apparently if you stick a piece of toast to a cat, it'll cause a black-hole. It seems they've done their research.

Aww...now me wants.

It's crazy, the amount of things you can do.

It even has a level editor, and I made my own level starring Chuck Norris - I'm not sure if it is the real Chuck, but enter that and you get a guy who does look like him. Any game that lets you conjure up a ninja, Chuck Norris, God and death for an ultimate death match is great.
It settles arguments too, who would win between a killer whale and a white shark? - settled. Who would win between a crocodile and 15 puppies - settled. You really have to be quite a bitter person to not like Scribblenauts.

Sounds like your into the same sorts of games as me Seppuku, I loved Fallout3 and FarCry 2 - I even love the map editing in FC2, wish I hadn't lent it out now. Looking forward to Uncharted 2, that Rockstar cowboy game, Gay Tony, Forza3, and L4D2.

You don't really need scrilbblenauts for that one. There's a crocodile farm up the road from my parents' house (it always strikes me as odd as having a crocodile farm in the East of England), out of a box of puppies, I only find that it is the box that survives. Of course, being a scientific experiment, I had to replicate it 10 or maybe 20 times to make sure the results were consistent...and they were.

It's good for practicing basic level design and fun to play with, though I'm wishing I didn't sell my PS3 version, because I could play online for free on that one - the most I've got out of the multiplayer on the 360 version is that 48hour trial of XBL Gold you get.

Yeah, I really got into the multiplayer, but it gets old because there aren't that many ranked maps - and the maps people make themselves are only for un-ranked play, so no cool weapons. I play a lot of BF1943 on the 360, that's always got people playing, in fact the biggest problem is it letting you stay on the same team as your mates. It has a really good feel to it, it's better than BF:Bad Company, that's for sure - it actually gives me some hope for BF:BC2.

The Gamecube is my favourite console, and I also use my PS3 quite a lot.

Since the XBOX360 chucked it in a month ago, the PS3 has been getting a workout.

I went on a bit of a spending spree this weekend and picked up a PSP 3000--- not sure what to play on it yet though.

My most-played consoles are the 360 and PS3 because they're also the units I use to stream media from my PC. Uncharted 2 is out today and I can't wait

At the minute it's:-
1. iPhone (crazy addicted to finding new apps/games)
2. DS (nice to fall asleep to)
3. Wii
4. PSP (although more as a media player)
5. PS3
6. PC (If you count that)

Cheers

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing

Finally someone else that likes the NES! I thought I was the only one!

Currently Donkey Kong Country 2 - Diddy's Kong Quest on the SNES has got my full attention...

I've been playing a lot of CoD5, Gears of War, and Guitar Hero Metallica lately, so my most used system at the moment is my XBox 360.

Although, I have been giving my N64 quite a work out with 100%'ing Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time again. I'm a Zelda freak.

I only have PS2 and a crappy old game boy (the bricks). Last time I used the PS2 was like a year ago or something though. I usually play games on my computer.

Don't have any consoles except for my 360 right now. I'm possibly thinking of getting a PS3 next year if they have a price drop, but I've turned into a bit of a PC gamer right now.

I don't play games, I make them.

However, I do play some GameCube every once in a while. Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 for the win!

I only have a 360 and I really don't play much. Sometimes I'll just sit in the Xbox Dashboard talking to Thraxas in a party lol.
And I don't really count having an N64 as it's just hiding in my closet collecting dust.

Signature's are stupid.

I just got done playing my PS3 for 8 hours straight. Uncharted 2 simply is one of my favorite games of all time. It, in my opinion, is the best game out there graphically. There are some shots in game which blow my mind as to how they could do that and still have everything be silky smooth.

Ditto-- I'm on Chapter 5 now and the game is really mind blowing. It feels like an action movie Some of the dialogue made me laugh out loud!

I'm on Chapter 23, and I only stopped because I supposedly had school today, but I get up early to find out that my teacher emailed me telling me that class was cancelled. So I could have gotten farther last night...

That's because your teacher was up all night playing Uncharted 2
