Anyways, the consoles have certain games that work for them the best and others that don't, and vice versa for the PC.


I used to be one of the group that said FPS shouldn't be on consoles, until I played a few, and its just as good as mouse and keyboard. The only games that really need a mouse and keyboard to play are RTS.
Hmm, not so much a failure, I guess. It's just a shame to see so much time and effort being poored into it, while leaving the "real" gamers, the ones that have been there long before the consoles gained popularity, the ones that prefer a challenge and don't mind actually having to think, out in the cold.

The one thing I really don't like is the console only-titles: I like Gran Turismo, Metal Gear and Final Fantasy (for example), but I can't play because I have to buy a console that doesn't satisfy me.

PS3 doesn't have BC. I know they're developing an emulator, but just putting the PS2 hardware back in (the first PS3s had it) would be a far superior solution.

360...? Same price as PS3 at a glance, but requires you to pay for optional upgrades to even come close to PS3 functionality.

Last thing is a matter of taste: I don't like X-box games. The first Halo game was alright, and... well, that's it. Gears of War? Please...



Oh, and imho FPS on console sucks donkeyballs. My brother bought 360 + COD5. Sold it after 2 months (actually he put it at my house after 2 weeks and didn't look back untill he sold it. Gave me a chance to play Assassin's Creed on 360. What a noisy pos! My PC doesn't even come close to that noise level while putting out better graphics and framerate), he went straight back to COD4 on PC.
