Gamecube:
-Generally a quiet year for the Gamecube, with some long bouts of SSBM, Wario Ware, Timesplitters 2, and Super Monkey Ball. Other than that, I didn't play much aside from Beyond Good & Evil for a second time.
Xbox:
-Psychnauts: One of the best platformers in a very long time. It's got some amazing level design, interesting characters with good voice-acting, and really good music. Everyone should buy it and play it. Aside from that, not much in the way of Xboxen.
Xbox360:
-20 or so hours of zombie killing in Dead Rising, 30 hours of car driving in Test Drive: Unlimited, 170 hours of Oblivion, 10 hours of Gears of War, and some amazing multi in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter. In a word: fun. To put it in a longer sentence: The Xbox360 has some really good games that I'm glad I got to play because they are really good. Oblivion for life, man.
Wii:
-Can't forget about the Wii in all this. Wii Sports is some awesome fun, especially in four-player multi. Seriously, don't take this one lightly. Then, of course, we've got The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess which, despite a bit of a weak ending in some ways, is an amazing experience with some really great parts in it. Not to be missed by anyone that enjoys games. There are some other Wii games out there, but none quite as good as those two.
Nintendo DS:
-Quite a few games, actually, and a bit more than I really want to get into in this post. Suffice it to say, Mario Kart, Contact, Magical Starsign, Children of Mana, and all those other DS games I played this here have been quite a bit of fun. Dragon Quest IX next, boys!! WOOO!!!
