I've got a PS3, play MG Online and
Love and hate the idea of online play. On one hand it's great fun and addictive as sin, but I can't stand the poor sportsmanship out there, it's an aggressively competitive domain and there are a LOT of poor losers out there who think nothing of sending pretty offensive mails to you if you happen to wipe the floor with them at Soul Calibur.
That's why I love the Japan servers, as Japanese people have manners.
Example:
American post-round MGO comments.
"You guys suck sh*t. Why you even play this game?"
Japanese
"Great game, good luck in the next Survival"

On to the discussion about present games compared to old games.
I've analysed this myself many times and come to the conclusion that most of the games you're retrospecting through rose-tinted glasses. Some of those games have stood the test of time for playability but what you get these days is games with astounding scale and lastability unexperienced before and game design in general has metamorphasized over the years into something of a higher art. Games of yonder years were mostly only playable for a rainy Sunday afternoon and then you were done, there were very few that you would play as much as say, Diablo2.

Please, Call Me Bob
Oh dear, I probably misdirected that somehow
My point was something along the lines that a game still needs a lot of tender, loving care to be a success
There are some games today that feel a bit "manufactured"
Keep in mind I don't play big name games so often (if ever) so my view is probably significantly skewed

I have a PS2, GameCube, Wii, DS and Xbox 360. The Gamecube is now in my stepdaughter's room. The PS2 hs seen very little play in the last year. If at all, it's been for Guitar Hero. The Wii, we use to check occasionally the news and weather (LOL).
What's gotten play is the 360, which I got 9 months ago. I dont play often, but when I do its mostly the "hits", or trying out indie demos. Actually, I am the big joke among my friends because 95% of my Xbox playing has been with Fallout 3. I'm STILL playing and intend to finish it before I crack open other games like Halo 3, Gears of War, and Grand Theft Auto IV (that one I KNOW will suck up too much time like San Andreas did!!!)
The download games are interesting. Splosion Man, Trials HD, Geometry Wars 2, PacMan Championship, all are awesome.

Have an Xbox 360 and DS, and play PC games... but don't play anywhere near as much as I used too - not enough hours in the day!
I grew up with 8 bits - Vic 20, Speccy, Amstrad 6128, then 8 bit consoles and on to the SNES and Amiga platforms before PC and Playstation.... but my heart is still in the 8-bit era. Give me Dig Dug or R-type over Halo 3 any day!

If you like sim, one to watch for is called Split Second. It might be one of DI's best games.

Hype over content...
Got to agree, Arkham Asylum is just a different class, they've totally nailed it ( First game I've bought this year, I think there's been about 3 games I've wanted this year up until this month, now there are about 5 already, including ODST ).
Dirt2 is stunning too if you're a fan of the first one.
Just to put a competitive spin on this thread, post up your gamer cards:

( Bit out of date 'cause I've not been online for months with the 360 ).

If you're into action RPG's I can heartily recommend Demon's Soul. It's not actually out yet in your neck of the woods until early October.
Gotta be one of the best games I've ever played. Online is also intuitive and crazy fun, 3 guys can do co-op together taking on big bosses, kind of reminds me of Monster Hunter (another game I wish they'd bring out on the PS3) or you can hunt down innocent players as a Black Phantom. Maybe I really am evil because nothing is more entertaining than screwing up someones game just for sh*ts and giggles. Graphics and atmosphere are outstanding. Honestly the game is going to take the West by STORM when it comes out in a couple of weeks.
