What online games do you play?

Hi,
After having discussions with friends about what they prefer to play their games on, whether it be ( a PC or a games console such as an xbox ) and the findings were rather more favourable of the computer. So i'm just wondering what do you prefer to play your games on?

( p.s i'm new here, hello :) )

I prefer to use my PC. I hardly ever use my PS2 nowadays.

I play chess online everyday (mostly with an old friend in Germany who really puts a beating on me sometimes). It's about the only game I can stand anymore. Other things I just cannot get into except for occasionally a soccer or hockey match via console with friends.

Ya, I can't lie, I havn't played many video games in awhile. But when I do, it's always on a PC or PS2, never anythin else

Generally, its America's Army I play on the pc.

I love Yahoo's Bookworm and this: http://www.roadshowpictures.com/swf/penguin.swf

I also have Comcast Games on Demand but only my kids have time for that.

Are you playing with others over the net? Then yes. Otherwise, eh eh.

I play Literati with friends from IRC on yahoo games sometimes. Another fun one is IRC trivia. I also wrote a chessbot for IRC for a class project so I could play chess with my IRC friends (many of whom I know in real life as well). I think I may like the IRC medium a bit too much... oh well.

Rarely play online games much due to the amount of cheating that goes on, but i play Delta Force: Black Hawk Down multiplayer on the PC sometimes, and also Hardware: Online for PS2.

Also, on the msn messenger games i play minesweeper flags a lot:

Wins: 68 Draws: 0 Losses: 0 Win Rate: 100%

I've recently joined the FFXI world and I like it alot. Althought I stay mostly to myself, its still amazing to be part of such a large online world.

The only online game I have ever played it Blizzard's Diablo II Lord of Destruction. I've been playing for 10 years or so and have beaten the bad guy I don't know how many times. I now have a cheat program that gives my character godly powers so that I can just walk through the program :)
