I'm a big fan of Brian Lara/Ricky Ponting cricket 2005 (they are the same game btw).
My favourite video game for:

Playstation2 has to be... Grand Theft Auto San Andreas; it is absolutely brilliant and great to de-stress yourself.

Xbox has to be Halo 2...The graphics are amazing and the gameplay is incredible

PC is Command and Conquer Generals... It's a great game graphics wise and it's my kind of game.

Can't really comment on the other consoles as I don't play them.

I though you said no pictures

I have seen the new Xbox360 but I don't feel I can pass a justified comment as I have only played on one once. Although I'm sure that Halo 3 will surpass all other games for this console.

PSP has extrememly good graphics for its size. I have only played on NFS and Tiger Woods for it but they graphics were very good and the gameplay I feel was equal to that of the PS2.

When I said no pic I meant like the pics of the game. Like the graphics it makes it very slow. Like pics like that are fine but not showing the game when ur playing it.

I occasionally play computer games. I have an xbox for when I've got friends round. Mainly I have 2 player games for that as a result (FIFA 2005, Worms 3d etc) but also have GTA Vice City and a couple of other games.

On the PC, I only really play The Sims 2 - and that only on occasions. That's as its a game that my missus doesn't mind playing as well. I also play Football Manager - but less of that these days as my other half gets annoyed if I play it constantly.

I also have some emulators on my PC so I can regress to playing such Atari classics as "Time Bandit" or Spectrum classics such as "Rescue". Mainly, the emulators I have use the Amstrad CPC system as we had one of those from 1984 onwards. In fact, my brother still has a couple of working CPCs that he rarely boots up to play a game or two such as Subterranean Stryker or the like. Classics one and all.

My opinion is that these days computer games are too similar. You can classify PC games into one of 3 genres - First Person Shoot-em-ups, Command and Conquer Clones or Sports Sims. More recently, the GTA Clones have arrived. I cry out for a game which actually requires some thought. I used to love a game called "Star Control 2" - it had a great plot to work through. Similarly, Baldur's Gate I and II were great for the same kind of plot based reasons. Unfortunately, these games are becoming rarer and rarer and you actually have to FIND them!

Also, these days I'm generally too busy to play computer games so much. Too busy working or out!

I'm a big fan of PS2. Playing Prince of Persia at the minute but I understand the new Lara Croft game is out (can't beat an Englishwoman ) the best cricket game is undoubtedly Brian Lara. EA cricket is absolutely full of bugs. Managed to win the ICC and world cup in Lara for England. mainly with 4s to fine leg.

I've got EA Sports Cricket 2005 and it's horrendous gameplay on PS2. I've also got Ricky Ponting.

I rarely play video games hence most of those games are my younger brothers. I like the FIFA games though, and the motorsport ones. Last two games I bought were FIFA 06 and F1 2005. As for Computer games, got the new Football Manager and I love it. Started my second season with Melbourne Victory following winning the A-League last year, and have signed three players from overseas. Bastian Schweinsteiger from FC Bayern as my marquee player- he's on in excess of $2 Million AUD a year, which is more than the salary cap! Mark Viduka, on $400,000 and Wigan's keeper John Filan, on $80,000.

I had to give away Muscat, who was on $250k! I've got Archie Thompson, Viduka, and Filan accounting for $730k of the salary cap, with the other 770 being shared amongst 17 players! Added to that my signing of Richard Johnson from another A-League club.

Even then, I play that occasionally. Probably once or twice a week. Don't have the time much like Andy. PS2 play very rarely, maybe once or twice a month.

I mainly play the GTA games, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2005 (2006 looks dodgy), Brian Lara 2005 or Gran Turismo.
