Games released on PC and console. How do you tell which is better?

PC > Console... IF the same game is being offered cross platform.

Why? Because no console in the world has the hardware = to a true gaming PC.

The only time a console wins on all grounds is on a Wii.
Its gonna be a while b4 we see stuff on PC thats available for Wii.

Another PC advantage is unrestricted online multiplayer and the ability to interact with other players on Internet Relay Chat, voice comm servers, and discussion forums. In contrast, with some consoles you have to pay money to the console maker and then hope they'll let you access custom content and online gaming.

PC gaming is about freedom--the freedom to play online, to play mods, to play custom maps. Console gaming is about being controlled.

Except now "Games for Windows LIVE" for the PC came along and blocks over 166 unsupported countries from racing online with DIRT 2. 🙁

Cannot play online with Live Account. Possibly unrecoverable key?

GFWL stole my game

Does GFWL help prevent piracy or help create piracy?

What about shitty ports? There are some ports that are so bad that it doesn't matter what hardware you have, it'll run poorly.
