PC Gaming Isn't Going Anywhere

Grimrod writes "Dave Long, one of the editors of GamerDad, has a unique look at the PC as a game platform and how it gets forgotten among the constant barrage of console gunfire in his latest Long Shot column. From the article, 'It might never be like 1998 again on the computer, the year that PC gaming was probably at its very peak, but it's far better than analysts and even armchair soothsayers would have you believe. I got caught up in the hype myself to a certain extent. I started to believe I didn't need the computer for games. Now that I'm back on the inside with current hardware, I realize again how dumb that idea was.'"

Pros And Cons

[DigitalDwarf]

This is my first post so please bear with me. I think the Pros and Cons are this: PCs demand Constant upgrades to keep up with the newest games. (I am having hell getting my Computer to run WoW without overheating becase of the video card) Consoles dont need to be upgraded or messed with. PC games need Patches OFFEN. Consoles RARELY. PC games are either hard to find or rare to find. Console games are more common in places like Wal Mart. PC games are ussualy better in the long run but many are starting to suck. Console Games are getting cranked out at high speeds but losing alot of good game stuff because of it. I own a PC, PS2, and a Game Cube. I like to play games. But I will admit that my PC has the most demand of any game stuff I can do. So it starting to get less love from me.
