Gotto go with the PS2, the game selection is unbeatable (Besides Blizzard Games of course)

X-box Is awesome. Technologically it has better graphics.
PS2 has more games. They have more airplane games. and X-box doesnt have many airplane games, they have a couple i have only played "secret weapons of normandy" it is pretty good but i want something with laser guided missiles and stuff.
Halo2 has a banshee which is awesome.

PS2 does have more games but I like the selection on the Xbox, though I don't own any of them at home but I have them all at work, Thanks for the nod on the Blizzard games Tony I must admit there is a great deal of value in the plug and play action you get from console, soon the level and depth of play on console will be so high that you will have to be a level 9 geek to really want to invest the money for hardware and the time to play the incredibly in depth PC games.

I have yet to play a Blizzard game I didn't like. With names like:Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo how can you go wrong.

About the game systems though. The reason I do like the Xbox is because it is a PC for $150. You cant get a better deal than that. People up here at college modify Xbox' and turn them into the ultimate game machine. They install an extra drive to run DVD-Rom and bump up the processor to 4Ghtz. The machine runs literally anything. Also my next door neighbor modified an Xbox to run Linux to mock Microsoft.
Either way, Xbox or PS2, i cant wait for Xbox2 and PS3. I can't wait to see the next generation in gaming graphics.

They do seem to be quite loved, I did not care as much for the StarCraft or WarCraft versions I toyed with, because they required too much set up, in Diablo you just pick up your club and go crush skulls, I have a very high level Barbarian loaded to the gills and I never touched the book, the strat guide or looked at the information web page, my merc is tougher than almost any of the non boss characters in the game.

Tony you are talking way over my head regarding the modification of the gaming systems.  I have tried other characters but for me there is none better than the first hand combat of the Barbarian. |

Tony you are on a roll with these gaming threads....
I'm torn between my old Dreamcast addictions (UFC, TestDrive, NBA,. etc) and my PC (which has StarCraft- the ultimate game).
I will probably be the only one voting for dreamcast anyways...so here goes...

You bet! I'm going to Bill Sink's again this Saturday, but as soon as the group is ready for more practices, I will immediatley drop everything and hold them.  If the group still is too busy/lazy to meet ;D, then I will carry the dreamcast to your house myself so I can prove to you once and for all who the real Tito Ortiz is! |
