From reading this thread am I to summise that a thrird game worth owning has been releaseed on the PS3.

By saying third I'm making the assumption that a patch to fix the Orange Box set has been released (or is Drakes Revenge still sitting there being lonely)
Goodbye London !

Yeah my little local game shop (that's game with a little 'g'), had some old megadrives with a bunch of controllers and games for like £15 or something.

Saturn was, is and will always be my favorite system.
I hear Petrucci brings one with him on tour always, that's just pure awesomeness. :)

I have a PS3, 360 and Wii. In my opinion the 360 is the best in terms of player experiance, it's a better designed interface, and I do prefer the games for the 360.

The Wii is great fun to play around with, but not much for the hardcore gamer.

The PS3 comes last I'm afraid, very good specs, but nothing to impress me that much over the 360, the interface says 'the 360 did it right first, so we have to settle for 2nd best'. No games to make me glad I've got a PS3. Hopefully it will come into its own, but I'll be buying GTA 4 for the the 360.

I don't know if all of the games I loved playing on it were exclusive, but a few of them gave me fond memories.

guardian heroes - best 2d side scroller beat'em up ever, omg what a blast, beautiful animation, good story, lots of chaotic onscreen brawls.

bomberman, bomberman 3d - awesome party games.

various sonic games, sonic R, pretty cool racing/rpg type game

darius special(or something), and all these other vertical / horizontal shooters that I can't even remember the names of. But we used to play the cr@p outta them. :)

princess crown - cool RPG that uses some kind of vector sprite animation system, it's way awesome for its time.

panzer dragoon series - who could forget.

virtua fighter 2- even though I sucked at it, I played it till no tomorrow.

a whole bunch of SNK games were perfectly adapted to the saturn, those took away a good chunk of my life. they're WAY cheaper than the NeoGeo carts ($350 US) and they run like ass on the PSX.
and some of those games really influenced my guitar playing, they had some nice hardrock / shred / jazz tracks, good guitar playing on their King of Fighters ASTs (arranged soundtrack)

Nights Into Dreams, another classic.

J-League Soccer, I think this was developed by the Winning Eleven people?

Daytona USA.

Mr.Bones, freakin amazing sidescrolling platformer/puzzle game. Some stages are groove/music puzzles and come with nice funky blues soundtrack, one of the best games on the system.

Virtua Cop

the Die-Hard 3d beat'em up was pretty nice too.

That's all I could recall off the top of my head.

Good calls on all those games.

also there was D

resident evil
- even though this was on other consoles it rocked on saturn

hardcore 4x4 - absolutely cr@p game but the sound effects were accurate.

also mass destruction - you just drove a tank around and blew stuff up

i cant think of any off the top of my head

actually the original GRANDIA

maybe one of the greatest rpgs of all time after the FF series.

We all know Dreamcast was by far the best console ever made.

Nothing beats how fun DC games were.

ESP Horizon NTII.
ESP Viper Camo.
