Nintendo
Nintendo games and game systems have been with me for many years. I've been surprised with their consistency with making quality games and iconic characters. I've enjoyed playing all of Nintendo's game systems and have fond memories growing up playing the NES and SNES. Some of my favorite games have been from Nintendo. The Mario, Metroid, and Zelda games are some of the longest running and best series of all time. Nintendo did a great thing with the Wii bringing lots of new gamers to the market and starting the whole motion gaming fad. Here are some videos showing off games from Nintendo consoles:
SEGA
In the early years I remember playing games like: Sonic, Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star, Golden Axe, and ToeJam & Earl. Every time I hear the name SEGA I can't help but to play the sound in my head of the chorus singing it. Over the years SEGA has made some good game systems and some truly great games. It was a shame that they had to stop making consoles, but I feel it was for the best. Now SEGA can focus on continuing to make and publish awesome games. Some of my favorite games this current generation Valkyria Chronicles, and the Yakuza series have been made by SEGA. Here's a look back at some of the best games played on SEGA consoles:
Sony Computer Entertainment
Clover Studio/Platinum Games thanks for: Okami, God Hand, Bayonetta, Vanquish, and Mad World. I also hope you continue to make your awesome games.
The first Playstation was a great console I had a lot of good times with it. When the Playstation 2 came out I didn't think it could get much better than that. The PS2 has a massive library of great games with lots of variety. Even now some people argue that it's the greatest console ever made. I'm not so sure about that myself, but it's gotta be up there in the top 3.
Call me a Sony fanboy if you want, but I have to be honest, PS3 is my favorite this gen. I play games on a Sony HDTV and mostly on the PS3. That doesn't mean that I don't like or appreciate the Wii, or 360. The PS3 is just my preference. With a great lineup of exclusive games like: God of War, LittleBigPlanet, Killzone, Resistance, Warhawk, Uncharted and many more I just can't resist. Here are some videos showing some of the best games on the Playstation consoles:
