I have been a console-only gamer for a long time, and am now looking to get into the PC market. I really know nothing about PC gaming, so the more information that you can provide, the better!
I currently have an 2006 Mac. In terms of gaming, this machine can't really do much.
My specs are: Processor: Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 Memory: 2 GB DDR SDRAM Hard Drive: 160 GB
I would like to have a Mac computer in some form at all times, so I am not willing to completely crossover to the PC market. As far as I see it, I have a few options:
1) Sell my PowerPC, in exchange for a new Intel Mac. I could play most new games through Bootcamp, etc.
2) Keep my PowerPC, and buy a Windows desktop/laptop. My price range would have to be pretty low, though.
Which option do you think is best? If I were to get a new Mac, what would be the best model for gaming?
If I were to go with Option 2, and buy a Windows desktop/laptop, it would be solely for gaming, nothing else, as I would still have my Mac. Any ideas/info/tips on what the cheapest, yet still high quality, computer I should get?
I don't need the greatest graphics card, etc, but I still want it to be as good as it can be for the lowest price.
Just to give you an idea of what I am looking to play, here are the PC games I am most interested in:
Team Fortress 2 Company of Heroes Battlefield 2, Heroes Crysis (if possible) World in Conflict
I just beat Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed, so I'm looking to start something that I skipped over from 2006/2007. I already own all these games, so it's just which one to play first... Here are the choices: Final Fantasy XII Persona 3 Splinter Cell DA Zack and Wiki Metroid Prime 3
I really liked FFX, but most RPG's lately haven't been really appealing, so I'm sorta leaning towards trying out P3 or FFXII. Also, my favorite games of last yr were Bioshock and Call of Duty 4, so I'm sorta on shooter burnout after those two, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and HL2.
Any suggestions on, if I could only play 1, which is the most MUST PLAY out of those 4?
I know there is no offline multiplayer...but can you play with 2 ppl on Xbox Live? Me and my brother both have accounts, and I was wondering if we can both play online, at the same time, on the same console. Thanks!
