I have to say for me, PC gaming is a lot better. On the PC you have so many more options than you do on a gaming concel.

I mainly like to play First Person Shooter (FPS) games. For FPS gaming, I think you have to play on the PC. Sure, there's a few good console games out now like the Halo series, Gears of War, etc. But, you don't get the precision of aiming with a mouse or the play control that's only possible on a PC. Also, in FPS gaming, it's all about killing other people while playing online. Only recently has the console online gaming community grown to a reputable size. Still, PC gaming all the way!

FPS is good in PC.. but the consoles have less buttons and require more skill 2 use. some games and just wierd on PC but damn good on console.

I have COD 3, but I need to buy a new video card to run it.... What about WoW? Anyone on here play that? I used to for a little while, but lost intrest.

COD 3 is awesome for the Wii, by the way...

Well, yeah... you do need a computer with a diecent hard drive, ram and video card in order to game on PC... But If you can get all that gamming is sooo much fun... Oblivion on PC is really cool...

RPG's get boring fast.. The only one I could ever get into was Final Fantasy...


Anyone like the Max Payne series?

Wii is the best especially with Tiger Woods PGA Tour. i would not reccomend u get a PS3 cause it cost alot for nothing then the games cost around 100 dollars. and if anything breaks ur screwed. the only reason it cost so much is because it has a blue ray disc chip in it. soon sony will realize that nobody wants that s*** and lower the price.

I'm a consoul person myself. But that's mostly due to the fact that I don't have a good enough computer to do gaming on it. Xbox 360!

Yeah.. gaming computers are a pretty penny...

And back to the whole thing about the PS3... I heard that all of the bugs in it arent even worked out yet... I heard that it overheats and everything all the time. And I heard that they like xbox are trying to come out with an elliete system... G4 was making fun of it really bad.... But I wanna get the 360 elliete..
