Bought a lot from the bargain bin. I guess King Kong is not bad for it's age. Just very short.
Colin Mcrae Dirt is incredible but worth it if you are into these games or just something different and... if you have the system (it wants a monster - minimum 8800 GT)
(But I'm playing HoMMV Gold a LOT more. I'm still a noob though )

Consoles are teh suxxor. No really I hate them with a passion.Angelspit wrote:You need a console for fighting games.
The ONLY reason you "need" a damn console for 'fighting games' is because the damn games are not made for PC. That's the ONLY reason.
Compared to crappy consoles (I can't believe we still have that obsolete 'design' in this era!), computers are an open platform. Need a special controller? Find one in a store and plug it in a USB port or whatever it uses. This is proof because it's the ULTIMATE digital device, it can do absolutely any information processing given enough time, from games, to programming your own, to music, to movies, to databases, to internet servers, etc... all of this because computers are made with modular and open-ended ideas, not the crappy console style.
Also, the worst excuse ever is "I don't have a PC powerful enough to run this game". My counter reply is: "sure you don't have, you wasted your money on consoles!"
All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.
You are missing some subtler differences. Fighting games are easy to jump into-games where each "game" lasts a few minutes at most. This lends itself well to consoles, where you just hit the on-switch. Further, they are well suited to two players and overall cooler on a big screen, so a TV is more suitable. Sure you can arrange all this with a PC, but it's more hassle.
Overall I'd say consoles are best for fighting, racing/sports games and platform type games.

You're probably right about that, but there's also the fact that you'd have to buy two things - a PC and a console. Now, a console can only be used for entertainment, whereas a PC can be used for many things, including work, which makes the PC the first buy. If, like me, you're not stuffed full of cash, the console takes a back seat... and since it's not that hard coupling my PC to the big TV and stereo, and we can use joysticks etc. with the PC as well, the possibilities are more or less the same.
The practicality issue still remains, of course, as I have demonstrated in my current setting, with the PC mounted on a chair (if you can call it that) and hooked up to the big TV and stereo via cables. To be sure, it works, but it's not very practical on a daily basis. It sure doesn't look very good. A console simply fits more naturally into the home movie theatre than a PC.
Now, back on topic, or were we ever off...?
