Do PCs have a better capability to make better games? Is multiplayer better on a console? Are PC versions of console games better? What do people most enjoy playin games on PC or Console???

PC'S need updating every 3 months, need about a £1000 of hardware to make it look any good, you need space on your HD for loads of games, can crash for no reason.

consoles it's a bit easier, put game CD in and switch on.

you decide

It depends on the type of game. If you tried to play SmashBros(N64) on a PC it would be rubbish, just as if you tried to play Unreal Tournament on a console (e.g. the Ps2 version) it would be rubbish as well.

Consoles are designed primarily for gaming, PC's aren't.

However, there's a far bigger library of games that wouldn't quite work on a console anyway, mainly the point and click ones.

Some games require a keyboard, so a console port from the PC might not work so well, but then again some games are easier to play on consoles anyway.

It basically depends on the games.

both have pros and cons, I like playing console games on my own (e.g. RPGs...etc) but I like playing FPSs with my mates over the weekends..etc, but I like playing PC games online on weekdays, since I spend so much time online, thought it was a logical step.

i have a p.c, i also own games consoles and i much prefer the consoles to play games on,my p.c is mainly for internet use but with internet use coming to consoles my p.c will probably become redundant.

Do some people like question marks? Do they have a fetish for them? Why should they use them so much? And, Christ, what is the point in using more than one at once?????????????????????????????
