I always prefer a PC game because of mods. PC games also get cheaper quicker than console games.

Get FPS on the PC, because trying to aim with a joystick makes baby jesus cry and me want to murder some one.

I would suggest Fable for the Xbox. I thought the graphics were great on the Xbox (plus there's more to a game than graphics) and the keyboard controls on the PC were terrible. Maybe you can use a controller on the PC though, I'm not sure.

For Doom 3 and Quake 4, definitely go with the PC. FPS on console = blows.

Burnout Revenge is a great game, I highly recommend it. Very fun game, it's fast and has enough variety in tracks to keep it interesting. I thought it was pretty hard though, but not too hard where it's frustrating.

Definitely get Fable LC for the Xbox. I've played both and its better on the Xbox because of the controls. I intended to use a Xbox controller S but there was no gamepad support in Fable Lost Chapters for PC IIRC.

Prince of Persia, or any action-adventure game is MUCh better on Xbox because of controls. Even with a Xbox gamepad you can never set up the controls to play like Xbox (usually).

Doom 3 and Quake 4 you have to get PC. They suck on console. Chronicles of Riddick is definitely much better on the PC as well.

As for the rest I'm not too sure.


You can however use a Xbox 360 controller for the PC, or use the old Xbox controller for the PC via a cheap $2 adapter. But as I said the PC versions often just can't be setup the same way (though I'm just now looking into ControlMK and Pinnacle Game Profiler which might allow console-like configs). I just bought a 360 one myself but haven't decided if I want to keep it.

I've played one of the Dead to Rights and it wasn't any good (at least now these days) and the Hulk game was pretty boring. It seemed well-made overall but just wasn't any fun for more than a day or two.

I haven't played it but from what I've read Riddick will look better on the PC in hires

Same with Doom3, Quake 4, plus for shooters keyboard + mouse is usually better than a controller

Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones - Definitely Xbox; controls.

The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay - The action is "slow enough" that you'd be fine with Xbox if that's what you found the better price on.

Fable: The Lost Chapters - Definitely Xbox; controls.

Doom3 - You know... I honestly didn't mind the Xbox version, but PC probably due to mouse aim.

Dead to Rights - Meh. Didn't really like it.

Burnout Revenge - Buying for Xbox 360 very soon! Love the Burnout series!

These are for the PC:

3...The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay
6...Doom3
7...Quake 4

I don't know why but i feel that Fable should be great on a PC, in the gamespot review they said that the game gains better grafix better controles by going from the Xbox to PC.

Anyway for the Xbox i will get:

3...Burnout Revenge

Also what about that Ultimate Spider-Man and thouse 2 Hulk games which system should i get it for?

Also I'm playing Prince of Persia:WW and Prince of Persia:The Sands of time on my PC and they are great, so i would rather have better grafix and good controls on my PC then good controls and okay grafix.

Anyone...

I played through Fable the lost chapters on the PC and the controls were great. It looks MUCH better and loads MUCH faster than the Xbox version.

The controls are fine. I played the game all the way. Get it for the PC.

I play Fable: LC on the PC using a Logitech Dual Action Rumblepad Controller (Rumble turned off). I find the PS2 style controller easier on the hands so that's what I bought for the PC.

Judging by your PC's specs you should be able to run Fable max detail @ 1280x1024 4/6xAA & 16xAF without much trouble. It runs just fine on those settings with 1 of my 7800GT's.

EDIT: Your system looks capable of NFS:MW @ Max Details (shadows off as they don't look that good) 1280x1024 with 4xAA & at least 8xAF.

You'd need to go into the Driver Control Panel (Catalyst Control Center) or use a program like ATI Tray Tools to set it up. The full version also has the slider which takes it up to 4xAA I think.

Yes, I played both. I thought the keyboard controls for the PC were sh!t. I didn't see an option for a gamepad but someone here posted they use one so I guess there is that option. In that case, either version would be fine. I've seen people say the PC version has better graphics though I find the Xbox graphics are great. But if you're leaning toward the PC version, go for it as long as you have a controller to use.
