Platforms played: Wii, PS3, 360, DS. I'm a sucker for pick-up-and-play titles, as this pesky thing called life limits the amount of time I can invest in the really deep games.
Genres played: Action, adventure, rhythm-based, FPS, puzzle, online multiplayer, arcade mini-games and the dreaded "casual" ones, too. Occasionally sports games grace my machines.
Multiplayer or single-player: Both.
