Favorite Fighting Game: Tekken 3
Favorite JRPG: Final Fantasy VIII

EDIT: Included Xbox

Didn't mention PC, as I was going consoles only, but yeah if folks are including it. My fave PC game is World of Warcraft.

I'm totally seeing where you are coming from Chrysaor686, regarding Silent Hill.
Loved the film and have a few Comic books, plus other bits and pieces as well. Oh and aye, Silent Hill 2 is my fave so far as well.

Still hoping for a Silent Hill Game to find that magic again.

But who can go into the closet and pull out their VIRTUAL BOY!

Hell yeah, seizure machine.

I have owned so many consoles through the years it isn't even funny.

Just a quick list:
Intellivision: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons (red version)
Atari 2600: Combat!
NES: Legend of Zelda
SNES: ChronoTrigger/Super Mario Kart
PS1: Bushido Blade
PS2: Tenchu (Being a ninja is awesome)
XBox: Halo. Multiplayer goodness.
360: Borderlands. I've logged WAY too many hours in that game...

Ok so iv played on the following and my fav games follow it:

PS1: Crash Bandicoot Series
PS2: Timesplitters 2
PS3: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit
Xbox: Fable:The Lost Chapters
Xbox360: TES: Oblivion
PSP: Monster Hunter Freedom Unite/ Dissidia: Final Fantasy (Both are awesome games)
DS: Dont really have a fav as i dont play it much but most played would probly be the remake of Super Mario 64
Wii: Mario Kart
Megadrive: Sonic series(Oh yea gettin into the oldies now haha)
Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure
Gamecube: Pokemon Colleseum/ Sonic Adventure 2
PC: Runescape(Clocked up soo much time and still going)

Wont go into detail why as thats for another thread but thats my opinion anyway.

NES: Legend of Zelda
Tecmo Bowl

SNES: Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy III

XBox: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Halo: Combat Evolved
XIII

360: Mass Effect 2
Bioshock
Borderlands
Fallout: New Vegas

My favorite console is definately the SNES. My favorite game on it, I'd say Super Mario World.

I've also owned a PS1, my favorite game on that was Crash Bandicoot, hands down.

N64-Zelda, Ocarina of Time. Majora's Mask was awesome too.

NES-The original Legend of Zelda, and Duck Hunt.

Genesis-Sonic the Hedgehog

Gamecube-Pikmin

Xbox 360-Halo 3

PC-probably WoW or Starcraft

Going to have to go with Saints Row 2 for the 360 as my all time fave, though at the moment I'm in love with Red Dead Redemption again.

Oh yeah! Saints Row 2, one of my favourite games ever. I must have spent a few days designing characters for that one!

Aye Saints Row 2 blew me away, it has more in common than GTA 3 than IV did, which is frankly bizarre.

My only gripe was the gang design options. It was nice they added them, but I'd have liked to be able to dress the five (or was it six) models myself, and not just pick a overall theme.

I can but hope for that in Saints 3.

I have owned plenty of them over the years even the obscure ones like the 3DO and Sega Saturn. I usually sell my systems off when the nostalgic phase kicks in with people who are around 30. They have more money than they had when they were 14 and desire to purchased a lot favorite games or ones they may have missed out on. Right now good classics on the PS1 are selling the best. You can get quite a bit of money out of people who want to reminisce. For instance I sold Final Fantasy VII for $125.00 a few years ago, (before it was downloadable on the PS3), Xenogears for $90.00, Sudikon for $75.00, Aliens VS. Predator Gold Edition $60.00. That is not even counting what I got out of systems like the Dreamcast.
I have a working Xbox that will hit the market in about 6 or 7 more years with a bunch of classics.

With that said, I do keep a few but regardless my favorite systems and games (to name a few) on each system are as follows:

1. SNES - Chrono Trigger, Legend of Dragoon, Final Fantasy III/VI, Out of this World, Flashback the Quest for Identity, Super Castlevania, Zelda: A Link to the Past

2. PS2 - (The size of its library alone is enough) - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, & 12,

3. PS3 - Metal Gear Solid 4, Warhawk, Uncharted 1 & 2, Ratchet & Clank, Dead Space, Bioshock, The Eldar Scrolls IV: Oblivion,

4. Xbox - Halo, Stranger's Wrath, Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2,

5. PS1 - Final Fantasy VII, Chrono Cross, Riven, Resident Evil 1 & 2, Soul Reaver, Blood Omen, Battle Arena, Battle Arena Toshinden

6. NES - Mario World, Bionic Commando, Battletoads, Final Fantasy, Mega Man Series, Alien 3, Bad Dudes, Base Wars, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, The Legend of Zelda

7. Sega Dreamcast - Resident Evil: Code Vernoica, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver,

8. 3DO - Alone in the Dark, Myst, Lemmings, Road Rash, Samurai Showdown, Sewer Shark,

9. Atari - King Tut, Asteroids, Defender, Dig Dug, Pac-man

10. Xbox 360 - Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect 1 & 2,
