What causes you to buy a gaming console? Is it the peer pressure from your friends enticing you to game with them? Fanboyism toward a certain console? For me, it is none of those. It is the games.

I can remember when I (emphasis on 'I'. Before then, my mom bought them) bought my very first console it was not for the promise of the fun I might have with others. It was because there was a game out that looked so cool that I had to drop $300+ on the whole thing. For the Playstation--which later translated into my love for the PS2, it was Final Fantasy VII. For the Xbox 360, it was Mass Effect. Both games that would easily make it into my personal top 5.

I have been waiting for that game that forces me to buy a Playstation 3. Uncharted has been close. The first Infamous was closer, but I think Infamous 2 just might hook me. I can't really say why or even if it will happen for sure, but this gameplay trailer from IGN sure gets me close to taking the plunge.
