For Strategy Games & ones that offer Online battles.. I´d go for PC. I prefer my PS3 & Xbox360 for playing Soccer games, since I play these more than Strategy, I choose Games console.

Well, you know my thoughts! But, I'm happy to repeat them :) Game consoles are definitely better than PC's to play games! Like I said, no upgrading and no stuttery graphics or game play. There are plenty more reasons, of course, but I don't want to take over the whole argument ;)

Posted October 25, 2008

Pfft! PC's are better!

RickyRobi says:

For me, it depends on the game. Some games do better on consoles and some such as simulation games (The Sims games) do better on PC.

I have never owned a game console, only a PC so that'd be the way that I would vote as PCs these days are so much better than years ago old-fashioned computers.

- PCs have better graphics. (Okay. You do have to spend more money for that).
- PCs have superior controllers (nothing beats a keyboard and a mouse, for FPS/strategies/MMOs at least)
- PCs have all the MMORPGs (which I'm a big fan of, so that's a completely personal opinion).
- If I upgrade my PC, not only games, but other programs run better as well.

The Game or the Platform?

I just want to see how important you think these are!

As quoted by one gamer...

'The platform that the games play on is unimportant to me. The games are all that's important.'

What is more important? The Game or the Platform?

Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

The Game! Worry about where you're going to play it afterwards.

RickyRobi says:

I have an xbox 360, a PC (game quality) and a NDS. So, I don't worry too much. I just look for a game I like.

Chadrew says:

Definitely the game.

The Platform. Duh! What's the use of a game if you have nothing to play it on?

inkserotica says:

I would have to say the Platform at the moment. I can't afford to buy games that I don't have the platform for in order to play it no matter how badly I want the game. I have 10 consoles approx. and have more than enough choice for games :)

I just can't get into playing anything other than cheap n' cheerful flash games on the PC. The game is obviously the most important thing but I'd rather play it on a console rather than a PC...not least because I don't want to spend $$$ no a dedicated game system or upgrading an existing PC to run the game as it should be ran.
