Ok, I used to have a PC for gaming years ago, and there was all kinda stuff out, I remember playing Motocross Madness and Madness 2, Startcraft, etc all those games.. So I didn't have one for a while, had a 360 and now a Xbox One, and decided to get back into PC gaming.. been playing Titanfall on it, and love it... But there seems to be a shortage of games released for PC.. Are t here any sport games that you can play multiplayer online that are still active? any football? basketball,etc, or car racing or motocross racing? theres not even a Nascar game out now is there? I u sed to have the wheel and everthing for older PC and it was pretty intense fun...

are develolpers just not releasing everthing for PC now because of the consoles? what some games u recommend?

well it seems to be more game specific.. some games never do.. GTA4 did occoasionally until I installed it to the hard drive.. some games like TNA never lockup, but I've noticed MXvsATV unleashed locks up some here and there..

my 360 locks up occasionally? is this common? gets aggravating sometimes.. is there a proper way to shut down the 360 similar to a cpu? is there any HD maintance we should do like on a regular cpu, scandisk,etc.?? I cant seem to find any..

I've recently bought an XBOX 360 after being out of gaming for several years..Back in the early days, I played first persion shooters like doom2,heretic,etc using a mouse and keyboard and it was alto of fun.. but playing with the xbox controllers doesnt seem up to par.. I noticed a converter on ebay to allow u to use keyboard and mosue even on xbox life.. does this work ok? anyone use it? seems expensive but if it works right would make the games alot more enjoyable?? any comments??

Can I buy the motherboard and cpu in a case already up and running with operating system? I can add the memory and graphics card later? not sure what the best runnig system is to buy... what all type of slots are in the pc's now? PCI and local bus? or what is latest?/

This is an idea of getting toward a minimum system to play latest games...

Looking to buy a new gaming console.. my last was the PS2.. Which Xbox is the best for the buck? I notice one is 199, and not sure what the next one is? 250 for 20 gig? 20 gig not very big? what is the HD used for? how does the xbox connect to the internet? will it connect with a cable to my router? can the HD be put in later? what all hd's are compatible? how does the HD go in? are external hds allowed?? which one should I buy?

what would be a good base unit and compatible graphics card and sound card? I use to be ontop of the latest pc stuff, but not anymore.. havent had time.. At the time there was PCI and bus I think graphics cards.. Where can I buy a good computer that will accept the best graphics card, if I have to buy them seperate and also sound?? any good deals??

I'm looking to buy a beginners gaming PC.. I have an Emachines 2.60ghz now, but have not had much luck running faster graphic games on it.. I'd like to buy a seperate PC just for gaming, with top of line graphics card or enuff to run the latest games in all their glory.. I've had good luck with Emachines. And I've heard alot of people talk bad about them, but they have held up for me.. I like them also because they have a restore CD, when my PC gets so garbled up its unrepairable I can throw in the restore CD and be back to like it was when I bought it in matter of minutes..

Can anyone tell me if either of these 2 emachines will play all the latest graphic intense games at full speed and full graphics??

http://www.emachines.com/products/catalog.html?type=bundles

one has the NVIDIA® GeForce® 6100 and the other has the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
Up to 224MB shared video memory
PCI-Express® slot available for upgrade

which would be the best or anyone recommend another good affordable unit.. sounds like the AMD here would be better suited??
