PC games....Is anyone buying them...?

[flyboy 28]

The last game I bought was CFS1. Two weeks ago. The game before that was BF:V, and it's just like BF1942 with F-4's.. Most have been Xbox 'cause I got it for Christmas.. No Halo, though cause Halo sucks. :-/

The last PC game I bought was CFS1!

Then again...shortly after I bought that I became a game reviewer and started getting all my games for free.

I rarely buy games, but I play a lot of demos that come with magazines (if they work). Found myself drawn to the bargain bin the other day and picked up the Atari classics collection for $10. That was money well-spent... Asteroids and Battle Zone!! Woohoo!!
Also got Age of Empires... slow-moving but interesting game.
 Other than flight sims, I don't play much else except Ground Control 2 (not sure why, but I'm obsessed with it) and Hitman 2. I'll leave 'em be for a while, then try my hand at improving my previous scores.

Neat game, but a tad hard. :/

Hi Rotty...!

Have you tried the many 8-bit computer game emulators available on the PC... ...!

The sound and graphics are often superior to the genuine computers/consoles... ...!

I use the "Spectaculator" emulator to play all my old Sinclair Spectrum* computer games....  ;D...!
"Genie" plays all the old console games...!

Do a search for EMULATORS... ...!

Cheers...!

Paul.

* Timex Sinclair 1000 in North America.

Foz:
Haven't tried the 8-bit stuff... Joust! I remember that!
I'm happy for now with my Atari stuff...
I never had a console back then; I was one of those freaks at the arcade...

I assure you, the PC genre is FAAAAAR from extinction.  I know that's not what anyone was implying, but I'm just sayin.  I am an avid PC gamer that picks up about every new title, and they will always be superior to their console counterparts

If consoles get more powerfull.
the technology will be implied into PC's..  ;D


kinda like x-box 360.. just a computer with a different OS..

The PS3 and XBox 360 will be top notch for about a year, before the PCs are on par again.
Hopefully, the PS3 will bring a fresh wind into the currently lame PC hardware market.

I've been playing computer games on all sorts of computers for the past 25+ years*, so at the moment I can't see anything new out there which I haven't played before... ....!

...same games....different graphics... ... ... ...!

Cheers all...!

Paul...been there...done it...giving it a rest... ...!
LOL...!

Definitely, Believe it or not, the PS3 and the xbox 360 are more powerful than high-end computers. I can say without a doubt that the ps3 could out benchmark many of intel PC's with intel EE 3.73 ghz and x850 xt pe's in terms of gfx abilties. But thats about it. A ps3 would run a program like adobe premiere like crap.

Take them off. Only a waste of weight and an unnecessary part of your blood circulation.

I am surprised at the new x-box, not only is it ugly but it really doesnt match the PS3 that well. But then again while consoles mean i can play games without too much if any slowdown i will continue to buy those over PC games.
