    What's Best In Home Video Gaming

    This is the forum to discuss what's best in home video gaming. This can include PS-3, Nintendo Wii and Microsoft X-Box. Topics may include but not be limited to both the hardware and software of each system. We understand that these are 3 uniquely different formats each with a devoted and dedicated following. As a result we ask that no personal attacks be made based on the format used by the poster. We all have choices so let's not bash each other.
