I got a PlayStation about 5 years ago, and ever since then gaming has been my biggest hobbie.

The first game that I ever really got into was the wonderful Tekken. I would stay in my room, playing Tekken for hours on end, sometimes not stopping for food or drink!
Then I got a few more games, a few more, a few more and a few more!! Over the last 5 years I've spent most of my free time playing on that grey rectangular box.

There are soooo many games out for the PlayStation it's unbelievable!! Most of them are way over average, yet some, 4-4-2 Soccer for instance, are some of the worst games I've ever played. But who cares about them!?!? There are so many good ones, it doesn't really matter.

A couple of years ago, I got Metal Gear Solid, probably the best game I've ever played. I couldn't believe how just a mere video game could bring so much pleasure!!

Other PSX favourites of mine are Gran Turismo 2, Syphon Filter 2, Final Fantasy 7 and Tekken 2/3.

You can now get a PlayStation and a few games for less than £100!! If you do not have a decent console at the moment, and you don't have that much money to spare, I would recommend getting a PlayStation, and then waiting for the PS2, GameCube or X-Box to go down in price.

You can now also get top class games such as the ones I've mentioned above, and many more, for around £20 or less!!

I now have a PS2, yet I still play some of my old PSX games, due to how brilliant they were!!

If you want hours and hours of gaming fun, then get a PlayStation.

Thanks for reading, Ant.

Your Right Ant, the Playstation has alot of great games such as ISSProEvolution, Driver2, MetalGearSolid, etc..
and with many great games such as TombRaiderII now available for £10 or under there is probably no better way to enter the world of console gaming.

Although if you like Pokemon or Multiplayer games then the N64 is also a good choice!

In repliance to the title "Why the PSX was the most successful console ever":

It wasn't! In fact the PSX lost to the 8-bit handheld console called Gameboy!

In fact Nintendo had the best performance last year
Then it was Electronic Arts
Then I think it was Sony!

So you would class over 50 as 'not many good games' would you??

And there wasn't much difference in the graphics, the amount of good games on N64 is very poor, and the cost of the games is horrendous!

The reason N64 games are so high in price is because of Sony creating a Microchip shortage!!!

Anyway there were plenty of good quality N64 games! In fact out of all the games my bro's got, only one is bad quality, and that's hexen!

And my bro's got loads of N64 games!

There are at least 40 brilliant 90%+ games on the N64, and I got a lot of games for a mere £10-£20- And they all looked far better than PSX games. Since when could a Playstation manage view to the horizon graphics in Jet Force Gemini, while having a huge game as well?
