Is anyone going back and playing last-gen games? I'm still finding charm in the 2D games, particuarly the remakes like bionic commando but now i'm finding it hard to play last-gen 3D games without the than shiny graphics and tighter controls. I tried to play a few ps2 games on the weekend and lost interest very quickly, the only ones that still hold their appeal are the cel shaded ones (which i probably won't ever tire of).

is anyone else on the ps3 still playing ps2 games or similarly with the xbox.

Yes, as a matter of fact before I posted this I was playing Metal Gear Solid 3 and before that I was playing Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on my PS3

Yeah all the time. I'm currently playing the GC version of Twilight Princess, but I'm always going back to my old games.

Oh, I'm a last-gen buyer meself. All the games I couldn't be bothered to buy for full price are now budget, with a few rare exceptions where they've only gone UP in price, but such is typicallity.

I play Battlefront with my cousin every day. I'm still trying to get all the collectibles in Psychonauts. :/

Due to my Xbox loyalty (grrrr.... fanboyism) I am left horribly disappointed with the offering of RPGs so, yes, I am going back and reliving my epic-hero questing glory days on my PSone and PS2 that I bought solely to scratch that particular itch for a decent story and an obsessive need to be the most unstoppable being in the universe.

I can out-"old-fashion" you all by saying recently I've had a sudden urge to play "Kings bounty" on the megadrive and/or DOS. (and I have to play Streets of rage if it's in my line of sight by law) GAAAAWD BLESS EMULATORS!

I would be if my brother didn't lose my PS2. I got £50 so I can't complain too much.

God I love Streets of Rage. Finally got my hands on a copy of the third one too. Granted tis via virtual console but still. I've lost count of the amount of times I finished the first.

Indeed, for me there's very little of interest on current gen consoles, though there are a few interesting titles coming out in the future. I play mostly oldish strategy on the pc (total war, aoe2 etc). Having recently quit wow after 2 years of addiction to it, i rediscovered mgs2 and many others on the ps2 and xbox.

Yes, actually-- I've recently gone on a series of PS2 buying sprees, playing all the games I always meant to play. Sixty bucks can get you a lot of old PS2 games.

Yup whenever i get tired of douchebags on psn ranting 'bout how elite they are when they get a shotgun kill i always play hitman:blood money on the ps2 probably my favorite game now and forever(unless littlebigplanet changes that)

Maybe some options other than Playstations? Anyway, I'm playing the Nintendo 64 to fill the void left by my broken 360.

Haven't touched a DOS game since Windows came out of the box...

I absolutely LOVE my Nintendo DS.
Right now I'm playing all the classic 8-bit Nintendo games on it (Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania etc) on my Nintendo DS thanks to emulation and a wee bit help from the lovely young fellows at M3 :)

I have exactly one playstation 3 game I play at all. Other then that I just use it as a media center and to play my old ps2 games. Now if only they would make it so I could play music on it WHILE I played ps2 games my life would be complete.

Very, I love playing indie RPG games still like Geneforge and Eschlon Book 1 just based off of how amazing the gameplay is even if it looks like early 1990 game.

Then again I am one of those freaks who plays Rouge games(Crawl,Castle of the Winds).So I'm sure something is wrong with me.

Damn right, it's why I love my PC :D

Playing old PS2 games on the PS3, particularly the classics - now if only I can find Silent Hill...

kind of.
SNES emulator :D

I still play the God of War games, but I'm a graphics whore when it comes to my awesome HD tv; playing things like Spiderman 1 just feels like betrayal.

My Megadrive has seen so much use over the past few months. Street Fighter, Tiny Toons and Captain Planet. These are good, good times!

I actually never liked the 7th generation of gaming. (I'll give you a second, so I can run as fast as I can). Yes, I took a stop to the new games and only play old classics. Why? At least, I have the feeling that a company hadn't sacrificed something from the game. (Excluding Portal).

Yes, for me the best generations were the 4th, 5th and 6th. It had fun games, I actually wanted to wake up early and play a game all day.

When will I buy a new game? Probably in the 8th generation. When the developpers won't go crazy on the whole "graphics", and then I will enjoy a good gameplay.

The only thing I will regret in the 7th generation is Silent Hill: Homecoming. I've played 1, when I was young. I've been searching for the copy of 2,3 and 4 (yes...4 ) for the xbox.

Now If you will excuse me, I'm gonna run for my life.

I've recently (tried) to play Jak 2 on my PS3 but couldn't save because of no memory cards. THough I should really go on a PS2 spree, I've missed alot of games before.

i was playing Katamari Damacy. I should grab Ico, never played it before. I would play Shadow of the Colosus but I can't seem to find my copy.

Thanks to my PC, I'm backwards-compatible all the way back to the freaking EDSAC. That's right - I've got a simulator of the computer that had the second-oldest computer game ever made on my PC, with the said game, OXO, from 1952. 1952!

I still have a number of PS2 games I want to buy

I still play Guitar Hero 2 on my PS3 =)

I don't have a PS3, so my PS2 is my current gen tech... But I do still have my N64 and Super Nintendo that I still play.

I still play my Nintendo 64 games.

What's this Xbox/PS2 crap? I still play with my PSX, N64, SNES, and NES.

I play plenty of retro games on emulators.

Chrono Trigger, old Sonic games, among others.

My Ps2 is without Backwards Compatability, so I've had to keep my Ps2 out. Its fine, except I have to switch over the AV cable.

I have a 360 and a ps2, I still play the occasional game on the latter.
It's particularly useful when the 360 splutters and dies and I have to use the ps2 for my gaming needs until it's fixed. (My computer is so crappy it had trouble playing the original half-life.)

Get off my lawn you damn kids.

DOS, Master System and NES.

I play old games all the time from any system. Graphics have never hampered me from playing a fun game. I still play Nintendo, PS1, N64 and the whole lot, certain games are just fun no matter the age or visuals.
