    We love Xbox in this house. I have to say, I love Halo the best. I also like desert storm back to bagdad, and true crime streets of LA. On my puter I love Myst and exile.

    we have a PS2 and a Gamecube. My favorite PS2 games are Baulders Gate Dark Alliance 1 and 2, Socom, and Grand Theft Auto. For Game cube I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

    I have tons of PC games, But I have a question for you all..........................

    I don't have Play Station, X box or Game Cube. Which out of the three, do you people recommend if you had a choice? I am interested in getting one or the other. I want some good graphics and some smooth visuals. I am not too much into hack-em up, blood and gore games. But I like role playing games.

    I have a Gamecube and a PS2. I am really a console freak and don't play games on the PC very much.

    My favorite game is probably Metroid Prime for the Gamecube. I'm currently playing Viewtiful Joe for the Gamecube... it's very cool but challenging. My wife doesn't play any video games except Super Monkey Ball on the Gamecube... that game rocks!

    I own a PS2 mostly for the Final Fantasy series. I just finished FF X-2 and am going to start FF8 soon (never played it before). Ratchet and Clank on the PS2 is also really fun.

    I'll always own a Nintendo console simply for their Mario/Zelda/Metroid blockbusters.

    LOL! Well, I guess you could call us gamers!

    My son, Zeke and his buddies loved to play them, trade them, buy and sell them, have contests, etc., etc. Finally, he came to have such a knowledge that people were coming to him for help.

    I was about to retire and he was about to graduate from highschool. We looked at each other and grinned, and decided to go into business together. To make a long story short, we started on eBay a year ago last January 1st. In the ensuing 13 months (almost) we've bought and sold 5,000 games and systems.

    We specialize in all the older Nintendo systems, NES, SNES, 64, and GameBoy. Occasionally we get something else in, and am working a deal with some major suppliers to run a line of new stuff, GameCube systems and games, etc., right along with it. If you are ever on eBay and spot some games being sold by Greenbugsblood, that's us.

    About 6 months after we started, I was talking to Zeke one day and he rolled his eyes up to the heavens, clasped his hands together, and intoned, "I've got the most perfect job in the whole world!" LOL!!!! You wouldn't believe the collection he has!

    We've only got 52 auctions running at the moment, but plan to bring it up to an average of 300 to 400 within a month.

    Chrono Trigger, anyone? (Grin)

    Puternut: the console with the best graphics is Xbox (hate to say that) but Gamecube is not far behind and then PS2. PS2 has by far the most games but since it did come out a year before the other two it has slower load times and the graphics are not as sharp. Gamecube has the reputation as a kiddie machine, which I think is unjust. It does have a lot of Teen and Everyone rated games which seems to be what you are looking for. Ps2 has a little bit of everything and xbox caters to the "mature" gamer so they have more of the violent games you were referring to. I have a bit of a bias but i'm trying to be unbiased.
