First lemme say that I'm not a gamer AT ALL! I like games, whenever I see certain games it piques my interest, it's just that as far back as I can remember I just can't seem to play em for too long. I'm 26 and I have some sort of ADD. It's like I HAVE to multitask all the time. As I type this I'm watching TV and holding two other converstations. I've tried to play games on this PC and I find I'm wanting to pause it and minimize the screen to check a message board or something.
This means the only games I can ever be too interested in are games that don't take a long time. Games like Tekken and Tony Hawk. I can sit down and play those games for like 15 minutes or so, sometimes a tad longer and then stop playing and i've got a lot of enjoyment out of them. Being that I have this problem, that means absolutely NO RPGs
I'm good with first person shooters, racing games, one-on-one fighting and so on. Also I don't do sports games. With the exception of tony hawk or snowboarding games, I can do some adventure styled games but they have to be really interesting and not a lot of downtime. I remeber an old NES game my cousin would play and it was boring as hell. It'd be like a monster approaches you and hits you, you don't get to defend yourself, just let it hit you till it's your turn to hit back...dumb as hell
So here's the real question. I'd like to get a console system. I don't need the newest thing cause i'll prolly stop playing it after a month or so, so I'm going with either XBOX or PS2 so given the types of games I like...what system has the most to offer? I sort of lean to XBOX because of Halo2. i played Halo a bit on my PC and liked it, but it was my PC and I kept minimizing it. Obviously i wouldn't get an XBOX soley for Halo2, i'd wanna be sure there were plenty of other games I could get into.
