So I once considered myself an avid PC gamer. I had the latest hardware and kept up on everything that was surrounding PC gaming. Then I found myself unable to keep up with the hardware requried to play the games I wanted and thus I slowly shyed away from it. This also happened to be around 2002 when xbox live was just starting to come online. I soon became hooked on to Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge. It was from that point on that my PC gaming nearly halted. I only invested into entry level rigs and hell right now I am writing this on a Macbook Pro

Well to be more acturate I am on a Macbook Pro running Windows 7. I have installed steam and found that there is plenty of games that this little 13" notebook can do. I have to say that I am very impressed with the numerous networks for gaming there are for PC. Steam is going to be my preferred one of choice, but I bet I will invest some time into Games for Windows LIVE.

I have started to play some more recent games and thus kicking myself in the ass for passing them up. I picked up TORUCHLIGHT tonight and dove head first and suddenly I realized that 4 hours have passed and I still wanted more. This simple Diablo clone is a diamond of a game. Charm and the right style of pick up and play that I love for when I am out and about with my MacBook. This is the style of game that I think is the best for moblie gaming its so simple to play but addicting and you can actually see a path not just a puzzle.

I plan on getting more in the PC gaming in 2010 and hopefully expand my horizons of gaming. PC gaming is very niche and it makes it hard to find big budget games any more, but I have learned that big budget and quality don't always go hand in hand. The bottom line is this. If you don't think you have the rig to run high end PC games DON'T, just try out games you can run, I am sure you will find more than one you will fall in love with.
