I must say I've played console games and hardly ever tried to play pc video games. I've heard with a fast enough computer pc games can be better to play as well as play online. I don't have a powerful computer to enjoying all the benefits of pc games because they just cost too much. I'm happy with being a console gamer. I'll probably dive into pc games in the future. Its mainly the online part where it mainly stinks when being a pc gamer without a powerful enough computer from what I've heard.

I play on both. I play button bashing games on consoles and simulation and fps games on PC. If you have a fast enough PC, you can play other console games by using an emulator. Playing online does not depend on how powerful your PC is but on your connection speed. Things that affect PC games are memory, processor speed, and gpu.

i should have brought connection speed up as ah hah thats obvious to me but just wasn't thinking about that. you right connection speed affects online games the most. i'm thinking about graphics when it comes to a high-end pc as well as the things you mentioned that affect pc games.

I love to play game on Consoles but it Requires to buy DVD's and most of the times DVD's got damaged.So on PC its easy to Download Games from Several sites for free but it Requires Space on your Hard-Drive and your PC must be Loaded with Atleast
1 GB of Ram with Heavy Video Card on it.Other wise the Experience would be Bad.
But now i am planning to go for Loaded system soon to have my PC works as a
Gaming Machine...!

Well as for me, Im more of a PC/computer gamer. A long time ago I used to be more into console games than computer games but that was when I was a little kid. Since I hit the age of about 12 or 13, I started to play console games less and less and PC games more and more. There is a game I play called Tibia (an online RPG) that I have been playing since December 2002! I have wasted a TON of time on that game but I still find it fun so I cant really complain. Other PC games that I have played a lot are Soldier of Fortune 2, and Counter Strike Source.. Which are both FPS games.

Good question! I play both, but I tend to lean more toward the console games as videogaming is something my husband and I love to do together. It's the same reason he finally got rid of his Nintendo DS...it was hard for me to "join in!"
I agree with you about the "powerful computer" thing. I remember years ago I had The Sims (original) and all expansion packs...House Party, Pets, Livin' Large, Hot Date, Vacation, etc., and I'd have to start the game and leave the computer for forty minutes just for the game to start up. I've never had that problem with a console. I find myself getting more into console games, too...I don't know if it's because the TV screen is bigger than my laptop or what.

Console gamer for sure. Always have been and always will. I guess I just feel more comfortable with a joypad in my hand rather than a mouse and keyboard. Although I have dabbled in PC gaming a few times, with exclusives like Crysis and S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I will always be a console gamer at heart

I'm a PC Gamer but I mostly play the Free game sites, I don't pay for games to play. I like it, and it does help if you have a fast internet connection, it makes it better to play, and they're fun.
