None of the current-gen consoles deserve to be here. Wait a few years and then we can properly evaluate them. As for consoles that do deserve to be here-I would go with the Genesis, SNES, and the Dreamcast.
I love Romero, up until the 90's he had directed some of the best horror movies of all time. Hell, he even created the greatest horror movie, Dawn of the Dead. But you can't say that his latest stuff is as good as his old stuff. Since Land of the Dead it's all been down hill. I think this may be because zombies are all people want him to do, he may have just sold out a little to appease his fans. But if he can bring something new to zombies, why not use them?
I own Eternal Sonata, and I have to say it's one of the best RPGs I have ever played. The entire aspect of mixing music with the story is wonderful. I hope they make a sequel that works with other genres of music outside of just classical. Blues, Rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, and even hip-hop would be great source material. (Maybe not hip-hop so much, but the others for sure.) I can only hope that more RPG fans pick it up.
I always go back to the first game I ever owned, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Whether it be a Genesis cartridge or on my 360, that's the game I always return to.
I remember going to Best Buy and buying a video game there. The clerk asked if I wanted to reserve Banjo-Kazooie and my immediate response was, "Okay." I didn't even know what the game was or what it was about. About a month later I finally found out about the game. Good thing is that I love that game to death. So things worked out for me.
