Do you play games on computer or console?

Which one do you prefer?

I prefer computer games because hardware can be updated easily and regularly while console games are restricted.

I play both....IMO Computer is better for fps, simulations, while console is better for sports, fighting, rpg(SoA is the best game ever), arcade.

Both. Sports, fighting, racing are better on console and RPG, FPS and strategy for PC.

Comp games rock, with the depth you can get into it's like living in a different world. :) But a good console game from time to time rocks too.

I like Quake2 on the computer, but then again I play Madden 2k1 on PS2.

I go for "bang for the buck". If you didn't game on your PC, how much PC would you need? Personally, I can't get DSL or Cable here, so on-line gaming is out. My oldest son prefers RPGs, so how much horsepower does that require anyway? Youngest son loves Q3, UT and any FPS, but without on-line gaming, there's still no need for top end stuff.

So, with money saved by not buying $300.00 video cards and CPUs etc., there's plenty left over for a console in every room and the van to boot! No crashing, patching or upgrading. A new console just cycles in and the lowest one goes into the van. Best of all worlds. Once cable or DSL gets here, we'll see what's what. The X-Box may turn gaming upside down anyway by then. Like I said, you don't need a cutting edge PC if you aren't planning to game on it...
 

Consoles based on CDs are fun, for reasons unspoken ;)

Pc is by far my most favorite. SNES was the shizzzznit! but PC is so much more flexable.

Fighting games are best with a console, I preferred games like Baldur's Gate II over Final Fantasy series. So, I play both console and PC games.

if they made counterstrike for DC or PS2 that could be as nice as it is on my computer, I'd do the console thing more...other than that, DC is only for virtua tennis...fear tim henman

Up until now I've been primarily a PC gamer, but right now I'm looking to buy a PSX or PS2. I think I've about had it with PC gaming for a while...

Tekken series, here I come...

Computer games all the way. You don't have enough controls to play FPS games or RTS games with a console

I love PC RPGs

Other than that I've moved to consoles. Cannot afford to keep computer up to date. :eek:
