    Hello,

    Ok which do you like better?????

    I like computer games better (including the ports - when they're the same as consoles because computers have more power ). Though I can't run the newest games they're still better than the consoles.

  2. PC Games all the way - only ever owned one console (ps1) and I think I used that about twice. Who the **** wants to play quake2 with a controller anyways ?

    Hello,

    VCD Hunter - Yeah controllers can be burdensome on some shooters.

    But Halo was fun on Xbox... So it can be done

  4. I can't envision playing any kind of 3rd person shooter with one of those controller things, gotta be k/b and mouse all the way.

    PC is better for some games. Console for the rest.

    I prefer console games. My PC is setup and settings are streamlined for encoding and rendering not gaming.

    Last game I played on the PC was Deus Ex the first one. Excellent game by the way

  10. PC. Graphics are so much nicer, and the controls for complex games are much easier.

    Hello,

    Plus - Flight sims are WAY better on the PC. In fact there are hardly ANY flight sims on the consoles

    Also, almost no strategy games make it to the console because of the lack of resolution (though that may start to change as hdtv grows )

    PC games are great, but consoles don't require hardware changes.

    EX:

    Doom III.

    I have a 128 mb ATI PCI Xpress card and the graphics on Doom III still aren't the greatest!!!!!

    I can't really choose. Although I will say for multiplayer games I like the consoles. You know the playing field is a bit more level. For the most part everyone's on the same hardware. There are a lot of things you can do on a PC that you can't do on a console because it's not flexible enough. I have an XBOX and a PS2. Just started getting back into them. I got them before a move and didn't have much time.
    Nothing can stop me now, 'cause I don't care anymore.

    How complete do you want it? I build PC's for people for really low cost. There is a FRY's store not too far away, but I can still get a bunch of things online for less and get better quality and performance.

    Hello,

    Thanks for offering.

    I'm content to wait until the time is right. I'm sure I'll be able to pick one up during or after the holiday season (I hope ).
