PC Gaming Vs. Console
37 days 22 hours ago | by: Ice2ms
Ok I admit it up until Tuesday my computer <strike>was no good</strike> sucked. I'll start at the beginning 2 months ago I started working in a new job, Homebase.
My friend there was always insisting that I buy a computer so that we
could start a COD 4 clan (He heard that i already had COD 4 on both the
PS3 and The 360). I was alwayspessimistic about investing so much money into one thing unless it be a car. I always used my computer for forums, low-spec RTS games and ofc N4G ;), until last Tuesday.

On Tuesday i went down to PC World to see what they had on offer, though I
didn't use my computer for gaming I know a lot about computers. When I
got there I knew what I was looking For - a cheap affordable gaming PC
around €700 ($110).

After seeing the spec on the low budget
computers I knew I underestimated the price. Any to cut a long story
short I found a good PC or what I believe to be a good PC (maybe
someone can verify).

Picture

Intel Core 2 Quad Processor 2.4GHz
4GB RAM
nVidia GeForce 9800GT - 1GB
1TB Hard Drive

I got that for €1500 ($2,386.48) which beats dell's offer.

Anyway on to Console Gaming Versus PC gaming. I already had some RTS games ie. Dawn Of War, Battle For Middle Earth 2. I also had CounterStrike Source. But I Could Find Nowhere AAA exclusive titles such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Halo 3.

Ok I'm looking forward to Spore in September, I got the Crysis Demo and didn't like it, I had to give up WoW because it was taking over my life and I can't find any more games that interest me on the PC. But on the consoles I'm playing Metal Gear Solid 4, Rock Band, Halo 3, Gears of War and I have loads more games.

PC gaming Definately isn't what it used to be say 5-10 years ago. In the year 1999 when CounterStrike 1.6 was released it was like "OMG CS 1.6 !!!11!!" which sparked massive hype about the same as some big releases do on the consoles.

If anyone knows of any good PC games that I could try please PM me as I don't want to be bound to CS:S for the rest of my days. The console market is getting increasingly bigger as well which in comparason is bigger than the PC Gaming market.
