I have always been a PC gamer. That is where my life as a gamer started. I still like PC games. Yes, I don't usually buy PC games anymore citing I have a PlayStation Portable and Xbox 360. The main reason I got a Xbox 360 was because of my issues with PC gaming.

My issues with PC gaming are these.

1) Will my PC run it?!

This is often a question asked at the store biting my nails over if I should buy it or not due to the fact that once I have opened it the return policy is no longer in effect. A game that doesn't run on your computer just wastes money, time, and space.

2) How Much Hard Drive Space does it need?!

Perhaps this is my biggest problem. Now matter how hard i try I simply can not fit all my games onto my hard drive and I even installed a second one. As everyone probably knows your hard drive goes to heck when you try to salvage it after uninstalling a game and leaving the game save data on the hard drive so when I install it again I don't have to play through the entire game again.

3) How Much Longer Before It Is Installed?!

This is yet another hassle connected with PC gaming. Some games take a very long amount of time before they are ready to play then you are recomended to restart your computer. Also, larger games require more than one disc meaning to finish the install faster you have to sit at the computer and watch the screenshots until the prompt for the next disc arrives.

So how can PC gaming be better? Well, you could buy an Aurora Value Gaming Desktop PC With ATI Crossfire which is the cheapest Alienware desktop priced at $799.

Or you could buy a comparable game console as I did for less. (Xbox 360 Pro, $299.99)

Even a Sony PlayStation 3 is less expensive. (80GB Sony PS3 $499.99)

My point is this, though PC gaming can be enjoyable it can also come with many hassles.

Here is my opinion, I want to know what you think.

The way I see it Gamestop rips people off when buying used games. Often times when trading in games you have to accumulate alot of games to equal the value of a new or fairly new game. I know and fully undrstand why they can not nor will not give you full value for a game because they need to make a profit not just make ends meet. Though having an Edge card helps a little (10% to be exact) I mainly use it when buying used games. So I have never traded in game simply because it takes so many trade ins to get a new game.

I know it is not the employee's fault or anything but I just wish that they would show us the dedication we (Gamestop customers) show to them.

Thanks for any comments.

Just want to give congrats to the Lakers for a great championship, Kobe Bryant, for getting his 4th ring, and Phil Jackson for becoming the first coach in NBA history to win 10 championships.

I'm not sure if you have seen that PETA thinks Call of Duty: World at War is such a "horrible" game because you have to shoot attack dogs in it. Seriously?!! I definitely would NOT hurt a dog in real life and they think after people have played this game they will run outside screaming "BONZAI!!!!!!!!!!!" and shoot the neighbor's dog. What the heck! You would HAVE to be mentally deranged to do that. There were also attack dogs in Call of Duty 4 during the sniper mission. And there were also attack dogs in Rome: Total War. Seriously PETA! Calm down! Like I said before any one that would intentionally hurt a dog after planning a video game needs mental help right away. I appreciate they don't want animals to be abused but they should worry about REAL animals, not ones that are programmed into a video GAME.

Happy gaming!

I have both kotor and have finished them both one time. The first one was great (my first RPG) and thought the story was great and creative. The ending wasn't great but it is so much better than kotor2's ending. i mean talk about running out of gas! You get stuck on the surface of the planet (malachor iv (i think)) and battle to where kreia/darth treia is then destroy her three floating lightsabers and kill her. all but talking to her briefly before the battle, the ending answers none of the games main questions. for me, very disappointing. (however the rest of the game is great)

first off cod2 is what got me hooked on ww2 shooters great game then I got the original and cod united offensive its a great game too then got battlefield 1942 and road to rome, and secret weapons of ww2 . so disappointing even set on 100% difficulty it still lacks intense action, but what can you expect when you get those three game plus battlefield vietnam in one box for 10 bucks not a bad deal, but not that great of a game then i got turning point fall of liberty and thought the plot was good but lacked good gameplay- half or more of the game is you fighting hordes of nazis on your own better than bf1942 but still not as good as cod2! then i got moh heroes for the psp and was happy with something that is at the level cod is now just last saturday i got moh airborne and it totally rocks!!! what next ? might get moh pacific assault or hs; battle for the pacific
