Another plus about playing games on my PC is that I always have a walkthrough right by the game so I don't have to keep looking back and forth from monitor to TV. I always use a walkthrough for every game I play because I am a completionist.

I prefer to play "social" games on PC. I rarely communicate online on my xbox 360. Unless ofc with a real life friend. Edited by Mamonuth, Dec 21 2010, 10:31 AM.

I play FPS, RTS and some RPG on PC, everything else on consoles. What's all about those "wars" anyway? PC VS. COnsoles, Microsoft VS. Sony and in the old days, Sega VS. Nintendo... I never liked that and never will. Play the games you like and if you don't like it, leave it to someone else to enjoy it.

I mean...I think we can agree on this much. FPS, MMORPG, RTS games are better on the PC. Everything else is better on the console. Though, I will say that WRPGs have to go to the PC.

I also just think it's nicer because you don't have to worry about Hard Drive Space or hardware specs. Especially in Online games, there is a lot less hacking. Although I always enjoy going to an internet cafe because it's a huge change. I would like to eventually within a few years get around to making and maintaining a gaming computer.

I'm not a picky gamer. I do love the convenience of using a console for relaxation and nostalgia. I love computer gaming at the same time because many of the games that are on computer I really love playing. As for the hacking in pc gaming as stated in earlier posts, I haven't noticed any to be completely honest. In fact I noticed more hacking in Xbox Live than in PC gaming. But that's what I see. Maybe other people see differently or etc.

New User Posts: 15 Group: Members Member #3,286 Joined: Jan 14, 2011	Well, I was an avid PC gamer since 1990. All that changed in 2009 when I got myself an X360 (actually my first console ever). What happened? Well, I like the "comfort" of the console+couch+TV combination. I was actually in school 2004-2009 (university grad school) and I had to study a lot (which involves a lo of sitting). That meant that after a long study session I just couldn't sit (again) in order to play some games. Luckily when I graduated I returned to gaming in general and then I got my X360 and then PS3, etc... To sum it up: After almost 20yrs of PC gaming I am happy to say that I prefer consoles over PC simply because of the comfort. And trust me, now that I'm working full time job, my back & health appreciate it even more. But that doesn't mean that I don't play PC games at all...I do. I recently enjoyed Starcraft II and I got myself Deus Ex Collection the other day and I'm playing that, too. And WoW is in the plans also...

Level 3 Posts: 226 Group: Members Member #1,566 Joined: Jan 26, 2010	This is a really tough one, but I guess it all comes down to what games I am playing. I started playing FPS games on the PC, and I mastered FPS games on the PC. But last year I convinced myself too move all my FPS gaming onto the 360, so I would be able to play with my friends, but I don't think ill ever become as good as I was on the PC. For regular action games I usually go with the console, simply because that's what seems more natural to me. However I don't think that's always the best choice... For example I played Just Cause 2 on the PC, while like 85% played it on a console. And I have to say the PC experrience was much much better, the controlls the graphics etc etc. For RPG's, the PC does offer something that a console can't; a keyboard. You have way more buttons available than you have on a controller. But I have to admit, that for the most part I do prefer playing on a console... I don't have to upgrade my console every year, I don't have to worry and technical issues and virusses, I can play a multiplayer game without having any lagg or disconnections, and I can invite some friends over for some splitscreen action. That said, I won't stop playing games on the PC, even if I have to upgrade it all the time

To be honest, most of my PC gaming is playing emulated versions of RPGs and the like that are Japanese only.

You can change setting to fit you making it easier to play. A good gaming keyboard makes it alot nicer as they are comfy and easy to use or buy a game pad or controller. 2. More lag on consoles with host problems but with PC in a decent sever with a good connect there is no unless it is your system 3.Worth the money it will still be a all round system for watching films, word processing and Web browsing. You can make a decent PC for £300 and you can play the latests games you do not need to max out settings play with the recommend for your system. 4. Not if you use programs like steam they have "vac (Value anti-cheat)" and Admins who can monitor you can ban/remove you for cheating which makes cheating practically impossible and you get banned for trying, so the servers are clean. 5. Not true. If the game is multi-player you can go online by selecting a server on popular games like Team fortress 2 there are over 900 severs and 32 players to server all cheats and hacks are disabled and using them you can get banned from the servers and maybe steam I love pc gaming and its great fun as you can update in game content like skins and textures making lots of different game types to play. but i still love consoles as some games are not released to PC Sorry for any mistakes as I'm tired and want to go to bed so I typed quickly.

Oh yeah, and with the Steam/PS3 version of Portal 2 being able to cross platform play/chat, its gonna be a marriage made in heaven.
