As a PC gamer I wouldn't know what to do without my 360. There are some fantastic games I just can't get on PC on the 360... like Dead Rising.

yes they might have a PC but that does not mean all have a gaming PC

i came from a low end system to a high end computer so i know that PC gaming is miles ahead

said that i think consoles have the fighting games and some games which are better on consoles and for pcs

for PCs i think FPS and RTS makes for me

lack of good RTS games on consoles make me coming back for more on my PC

i hope later good RTS controlled games are made

Well, it sucks that your hardware kicked the bucket but you cannot say that the PC is a "replacement" for the 360 when the 360 still has exclusive games that are not available on PC. And you can get a standard Arcade unit for $199 to go with your harddrive and that would be a lot cheaper than building a new computer.

I'm curious. You put in games that don't define PC gaming and leaving games like Company of Heroes, Medieval 2 Total War, World in Conflict, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Sam & Max Season 1 and 2 all in the dust.

It doesnt make much sense to replace a product to play the same games, especially when a large amount of those games come out months, or even years later.

I'd personally put it at "little to none." 360 games are best played on 360, PC games are best played on PC... which is probably why I have a 360. >_>

...So by your list, you're buying a PC for tons of multi-plats (albeit, with mods) and Crysis Warhead?

Good luck with that.

Actually, there are 2; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky and Crysis Warhead. But why doesn't the TC list Crysis and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl? Maybe it's implied TC?

Also I'm puzzled why you put NBA2K9 and RE5 on there. RE5 isn't announced on PC and NBA2K9 has a potential of becoming a mediocre port.

Perfect Dark isn't there. And neither are the other great 360 exclusive games. So how did it replace your 360. The only two games on your list that the 360 lost exclusive to was Mass Effect and the first Gears of War. Now that Gears2 isn't going to the PC you will still be missing many 360 exclusives.

Not exactly true. Even though PC gamers get the console version a couple months later, it is almost always superior in the PC version.

But obviously a lot of people would just prefer getting the game several months earlier on consoles.

Only if you have a PC that can run it. My computer is dated and I'm too lazy to get a new one. I couldn't play Mass Effect on PC if my life depended on it... that and I am boycotting EA and their DRM, so it's good I was able to play it on 360. And I am talking mostly about "360" games, games that aren't on PC at all.

Also I'm puzzled why you put NBA2K9 and RE5 on there. RE5 isn't announced on PC and NBA2K9 has a potential of becoming a mediocre port.

Further evidence to support the "buying a PC for 360 games" theory.

It doesnt make much sense to replace a product to play the same games, especially when a large amount of those games come out months, or even years later.

except you also get all the other pc exclusives + a colection of games going back to something like 1990 and the mouse+keyboard kombo.

it's not like there are no benefits from switching from consoles to pc and vice versa, it just comes down to what you prefer, some like only to play on their pc, some on consoles, other a bit of both

My point is I wasn't discussing anything with you. He has a PD avatar so more than likely he would like the game. there will be a sequal someday. Thats why your comment was pointless because it was directed at the TC. You didn't need to say anything because it wasn't about your opinion. It was about his tatses and what he will miss out on.

well I don't like blizzard and mmorpg games do you mean only those games define pc
