You're a console Kiddie, of course you haven't heard of these games. You don't even follow PC games and releases, just because you don't know of them doesn't mean jack. Because I'm sure a lot of people have heard of them.

Your first mistake was walking into best buy with the mentality, "I'm gonna buy a computer here!"

Your second mistake was that you pulled out your credit card/checkbook. lol

PC also has more AAA/AA exclusives this year and last year, so it's not a new game thing.

And don't pull the lack of diversity card, the 360 is the system with genre diversity problems.

Halo 3 had features that defined the FPS genre? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying its a bad game, but I don't recall it having any "genre defining" features.

For the price of One 8800GTX and 2 gigs of Ram you can buy an Xbox 360 and PS3. :D

The card is a complete ripoff, it isnt even worth $50. The rest of your machine, while overpaid for, is ok, nothing special but decent. You could pick up a decent $125-$150 card like a 7900GS or a x1950pro and play most current games at high settings.

Next time you want a PC though, find a quality forum dedicated to PC's and ask for someone to put together a build for you after giving them a budget and what you want to do with it. Buy the parts online and put it together yourself. You'll either save a ton of money, or get a ton more bang for your buck. I built my machine 1 year ago for about $950 including monitor and it completely destroys your computer.

Well I purchased a Alien Ware laptop about 6 mths ago online. Thier service sucks and its a piece of crap. So think I'll stick with Best Buy and sony or HP in the future.

Fpr instance Halo is still the only FPS that does melee attacks rights.wok7

Are you kidding? A fair portion of the Halo community, System Wars included, is up in arms about melee in Halo 3 at the moment, it's probably going to be one of the first things Bungie changes.

Also Halo made a seperate grenade button,wok7

Wow, what an amazing innovation.

vehicles,wok7

Tribes on PC did this before Halo.

official duel weilding with different weapons,wok7

No, that was Marathon (on PC!) and games after Marathon did that before Halo.

intiutive sniping,wok7

How? Halo's sniping system is painfully basic compared to PC FPS.

and a limit on the amount of guns held mandatory in early all the future FPS's to come.wok7

Does actually deserve some credit for that.

The only new thing that Crysis was supposed to was have completely destructible environments, physics, A.I. etc,. The first, which to our dismay, was botched to just making a few holes in the walls. Physics were same to everything else, funny how some actually thought physics could be improved more than they already are. As for A.I., lol, it might end up better than Killzone 2's, if we're lucky. Nothing revolutionary to the non-deprived gamer, Console gamers. But the second coming of Allah to PC'rs since they get 2-3 worthwhile games a year, instead of that amount per month. Again, this game is pure advertisement for Windows Vista, nothing more.wok7

So fully destructible environments, better physics and AI are not advantages, a seperate button for grenads is? Ludicrous.

wow.....I would put this in my sig along with your other quote if it wasnt so long.

"Halo is still the only FPS that does melee attacks rights."

subjective and completly untrue...there are many games that do it well.

"seperate grenade button"

I will give you that...even though its a completly uneccesary thing in PC gaming since you can switch weapons far faster.

"vehicles"

tribes had vehicals far before Halo.

"official duel weilding with different weapons"

not true either.

"intiutive sniping"

not even sure what the hell this is supposed to mean.

"a limit on the amount of guns held mandatory in early all the future FPS's to come."

this has always been common among shooters...especially among tactical shooters...and long before Halo.

"huge SP battles"

you want huge SP battles...go play operation Flashpoint...Halo 3's battles are tiny by comparison.

"battle items"

exsisted for a long time before Halo 3...especially common in a lot of the fast paced shooters.

"extensive online"

in what way?

"The first, which to our dismay, was botched to just making a few holes in the walls."

really? so what is this supposed to be.

"As for A.I., lol, it might end up better than Killzone 2's, if we're lucky."

read the last batch of preiviews...they all call it the best AI they have ever seen in a game.

"Nothing revolutionary to the non-deprived gamer, Console gamers."

console gamers have never actually played an open FPS with a large non-linnear world before.

"PC'rs since they get 2-3 worthwhile games a year"

apparently not if they still get the most AA/AAA games every year.

I agree with that, but at the top (what Wok wants to talk about, it's all about the shooters on the 360). Not necessarily a bad thing, but you don't want to throw stones in a glass house.

Also, a 8800GTX... that's very overkill. The 8800GT is coming out in 2 weeks, and will be $250 and almost as powerful as the GTX. So actually, it costs $300in two weeks.
