If those are the games you're into, sure.

I prefer Wii, myself. I get my Metroid and Zelda plus a lot of games that I can play with my toddler.

Are you serious? that is the best example you could come up with? I can see that (and much MUCH more) by looking through a sniper scope in any FPS game. That was a ridiculous example. I was expecting another cysis shot. At least I wouldn't have been able to argue with that. sheesh. what, is looking through a scope/reticle something new to the PC? lol

Well to be honest. I was pointing out that spending so much just to play a game for a few hours a day Is Kind of pointless when you can have more fun Masturbating Which is free.

Thankfully. I've seen flash games with more substance. At least from what that video showed. 10 minutes of shooting specks way off in the distance with a tank, whilst blaring German Blitzkrieg music? no thanks. hehe.

Don't get me wrong, its not like I don't like PC gaming, no, no, no! I love my rig, built her myself (also i've upgrade my video card from a 7800GT to a 9600GT recently), but I still lean towards my PS3 for the majority of my favorite titles like MGS, and soon, LBP and Resistance.

PC is by far the ultimate time waster though. hehe. But really, overall, no platform is better than the other. They all play video games. lets just agree to disagree.

That's why you're not going to get a good answer. In the end, you'll have to try it and see if it's for you. You won't know for sure until then. You may convert to PC gaming. You may say screw it, hock the thing on eBay, and go back to consoles. Either way, no one can really tell you if it's for you.

And even then, you may change your mind in 5 years. I went from consoles to PC for years and then back to consoles, and plenty of other people have done the same thing in both directions.

If you like strategy..it's the only way to go.mr_mozilla

I dunno ... most PC RTS games dont require high specs at all, so it's very easy to have a PC for RTS games, and a console for the rest of your favorites.

So flash games have more substance than a game that presses out truly outstanding shows of teamwork?
