With all these new consoles about, who really wants to play games on the PC. Before Playstation and N64, the PC had first person shooters and strategy games which the Mega Drive and SNES didn't. But now with the XBOX, Gamecube and PS2 no one really uses the PC for gaming, and especially with the XBOX having PC style games on it and a Hard Drive, would people buy PC games over Console games?

What do you think?

Well they aren't expensive at all so probably not, over them, but with them. If you get what I am saying.

No.

Medal of Honour : Allied Assualt has just come out and it is a brilliant game.

The Sims online should be upon us soon and that will also be great.

There will also be the Champ Manager series, the Age of Empires series and many other loved games series with games coming out soon as well.

PC Gaming is not dead and not dying.
