what are your top five consoles of all time

[kyuusei]

Crashing games at E3 isn't uncommon. Remember they're never complete and often not debugged versions. I crashed Nocturne, crashed Rorona and probably other demoes where the company was basically like, 'yeah that happens a lot.'

Oh, that reminds me.

The NES has a special place in my heart just because of how I got most of my games for it.

Basically back in the early 1990s i had this cousin with an NES and he lived down the street. I rented a bunch of/all of his games from him for a bit.

Then he went to jail. Forever.

~free games~

It's true that there aren't a lot of good rpgs, as we all know they're on the handhelds this gen, but I really don't see how you can complain about the quality of the library as a whole at this point in time. It's still not up there with the PS2 and the SNES, no current gen console is and probably never will be, but there are a lot of amazing games, what games do you own on the system?

My standout favorites would include Eternal Sonata, Valkyria Chronicles, and Mod Nation Racers.  

In the middle are games like FF13 that are in my area of interest but flawed.  I haven't bought Trinity Universe or Atelier Rorona yet due to mixed reviews but would pick up when they are heavily discounted.  

And then there are so many games, such as first person shooters, dark and/or realistic military games, hyper-violent, that I would just never play, and these are the games that generally sell the most and are the highest rated by the biggest gaming websites and periodicals.

The guys at Infinium Labs did freak out, though.  I'm used to there being issues with E3 builds, but it was just funny because the error was just on such a massive scale and they panicked.

Did they actually kick you out? That's pretty funny. I forget the Phantom even had a physical incarnation. Always assumed it lived up to its name.

Actually I might remember that... I've been to too many E3s.

I wasn't so much kicked out as I was given a, "Yeah, the demo's over.  Thanks."
