I love when I go to bed I miss out on a good debate. I need to throw in my two cents about a couple things.

Halo was shoot. Revolutionary? God no. You wanna know the real revolutionary FPS games? Doom 1 & 2. HALF LIFE 1. Those games were absolutely amazing. Halo to me is nothing more than a generic FPS game with crappy sci-fi elements. (And I've played both Halo 3 and the re-mastered Halo 1 for 360) The only credit I will give to Halo, is for being the first major FPS game ever on a console. But Halo is one of the most overrated franchises I've ever seen, second only to Call of Duty. Oh my god it doesn't get more generic than CoD. Every game is the exact same, just with prettier graphics. I refuse to ever touch a CoD game again.

The Fable series is amazing, some of the better games I own on my 360. Own 2 and 3, and look forward to seeing the re-master of 1 coming out.

Playstation is overall more successful than the Xbox, partly because the Xbox just fails in the Japanese market, which hurts the sales quite a bit. Xbox only succeeds because it appeals more to the American gamer. With its generic shooters. I was reading up on console stuff yesterday, the PS2 sold more consoles than ANYTHING ever did. 150 million units or something like that. Microsoft isn't even close. Never will be.

Crash Bandicoot was amazing. It was a rip-off of Mario, but to me it was just better, because it was 3D. TBH I never really cared for Mario, I'm a hardcore Sonic fan.

While I've never played any games by Naughty Dog, I've heard nothing but praise for the Uncharted series, and The Last of Us. Rockstar's only good franchise IMO is GTA. Which is why they rip themselves off with Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire. 2K has Borderlands, and that's about it. I think Valve and id make some of the best games, Rage is amazing, and lately I've been loving Crytek. Crysis is a great trilogy.

That first Xbox controller is a monstrosity. What the hell?!

I think that's everything I needed to say.

EDIT: Sega Genesis and Dreamcast for life! Love my Dreamcast, still own one
