Vista is Watching You

In this context, a program such as the Windows Genuine Advantage is the last of your concerns. In fact, in excess of 20 Windows Vista features and services are hard at work collecting and transmitting your personal data to the Redmond company."

    Actually, you can credibly argue it.

    The halo series is not a series FPS game, only for casual users. Gears of war? not even close to the competition you can get in PC gaming.

    Counterstrike
    Quake Series
    Unreal Series
    Battlefield Series

    You have to admit that the only REAL competition of online gamers is going on in these games. Nobody is competing on the xbox hahahah That would just be plain silly. You can't even aim the damn gun accurately with a little thumb joystick.

    Maybe when the wii controllers and wii consol is refined with better and faster hardware, you MIGHT find a good FPS game on the nintendo. But probably never on the xbox or ps2.
