    I say both good and don’t care to choose, but I do love my FistPersonShooter. Consoles have the car racing and mostly, just better games all around coming out at faster rates than PC. But PC when it comes to FPS, have more to choose from, and have controls that are perfect for genre, keyboard/mouse can’t be beat. PC has way better graphics too, but on the downside, it costs allot to upgrade so you can view those graphics at their highest level.

    PC/Consoles have various advantages and disadvantages, really depends on money, and of course personal preference. I use PC for FPS, and console, right now an x-box and ps2 [not mini one, regular], for mostly everything else, and without ps2, I couldn’t feel the love of San Andreas!

    consoles are way better to me. the only pc games i currently play are counter-strike and doom3. i have every console and the library of games that are out for them just isnt matched by the pc. i also enjoy the gameplay on all console games better than on a pc except for most fps.

    I have a Mac, my only options are consoles :lol:

    meh, I prefer consoles anyways. My roommate is a PC gamer and I find it funny when he's having trouble getting a game to work and I just stick a game in my PS2 and Im playing it 10 seconds later

    It depends on the game. If it's something an RTS game or a simulation game then the PC, any other game i prefer on consoles because i find it really strange to control it

    Done.

    Consoles. For one thing, you need a crazy video card to run good computer games on the computer, there's no good controllers for PC, and they're more prone to stalling. Consoles are good because it's played on a bigger screen,. the controllers are better, and you don't need to upgrade your computer for it.

    Consoles are much better. They're specifically designed for these games.

    Hit the nail.

    If I could run kickass games on my computer, I would, but I'm in third-rate games on the PC. So I chose consoles, simply because all the requirements are built in.
