Game Console vs. Computer Games
 

What is the diference between, let's say an X-Box and a computer for playing games.

Is the computer better?

Or are the game cosoles better?

Computer gaming basically is infinite. As computers get better and faster, as do the games. Console gaming is typically limited by the system and the space requirements. I often enjoy console more because of the ease of play and overall simplicity. Also, you always know that a console game is going to run well, computer games can be choppy and/or problematic unless you have a really up to date tower...which I don't :)

Yeah, what he said.

It basically comes down to how much hassle you're willing to put up with.

I am cool and I combine. :p

same here....racing games are better on console (usualy) and FPS (first person shooters) are typicaly better on PC

not to mention pc ONLINE games!

Battle.net pwns j00 all!

you play starcraft, hank?

WE NEED A PROTEGECLUB.COM STARCRAFT LAN PARTY THINGY

i used to play starcraft, but now, it's all Diablo 2 :)

I'd say both have their share of pros and cons but if I had to chose one, I'd go with console gaming.

I've really strayed from PC gaming since I've gotten my PS2. My PC is very capable as a gaming machine, in fact for as much as I game on it, I should have just saved myself the $$ and have it not be quite so powerful.

Anyways, I'm not interested in like ANY of the new PC games. I do like a good FPS or racer, but it seems almost all the PC games these days are the strategy/rpg/waste 10 hours of your life per day games that I don't like, and aren't any good at anyways.

The Xbox Live takes care of the online problem thank you very much.

Other than Unreal 2003 and Unreal Tournament, there's really no games to keep me interested in PC gaming. And even Unreal 2003 is out on the Xbox. (renamed as Championship).

The Xbox JUST WORKS. You put in the game and it works. On the PC you have to INSTALL it, set the right graphics, audio, network, etc settings, then pray that it runs fast enough. If it doesn't, tweak graphics, run again. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Don't forget about the PS2s network adapter. I play ATV Offroad Fury 2 every now and again. I just got the adaptor early this week. I need to get more people with the game and the adapter though. I need to pick up SOCOM and start playing with some friends. Good stuff! :)

Thanks for all of the info.

I might get the Xbox this week.

Thanks again.
