However PCs are not like Amigas and the amount of setup they needed was annoying and disturbing when all i wanted to do was switch it on and PLAY. Now my favourite place to relax is my sofa and I love my 40 inch tv screen and hence the console wins everytime.

What Id like though is more games which support keyboard and mouse on my PS3, to give me the best of both worlds!

1. The keyboard and mouse setup is preferred by PC gamers for a reason, it is precise and versatile.
2. If you don’t like the keyboard and mouse, use a controller, PC’s can use any input you like.
3. If you don’t like sitting at a desk with a monitor, hook your computer up to your TV.
4. PC stands for Personal Computer, which means you configure it to perform in any manner you desire.

Ignorant console gamers don’t seem to understand the all of their go-to complaints about the PC are baseless. If you want a legitimate list of complaints, try some of these:

-There aren’t enough games these days.
-Upgrading my system or deciding on a new deck is too complicated and expensive for me.
-Playing split-screen is generally not supported by developers.

We are all allowed our opinions, I’m simply tired of fallacies being touted around as compelling evidence.

If somebody releases a PS3 vs PC FPS game I’ll happily take you all on! WHO WANTS SOME??!!??? etc. Heck, I’ll even admit defeat if it comes to that without swearing any more than usual.

The EagleEye mouse/keyboard adapter for the PS3 could, if it works properly, go some way to settling this argument. In fact we will, fingers crossed, be reviewing it.

Come to think of it, aren’t there a few such adapters available for the 360? Anybody willing or able to share some (truthful) experiences…?

My last 360 died before I decided to buy Gears of War 2, but I did get through the first one. A good game, but again, not nearly as good as its diehard fans claim. In my opinion. I can’t comment on the online modes of any of these games, as I never signed up to Xbox Live.

Basically it says one of the reasons why there isn’t a great deal of cross platform, PC versus 360 multiplayer games is that the ol’ mouse and keyboard are actually more accurate. I definitely find them easier to use. I’ve also noticed that a lot of console shooters have a degree of auto aim with them (I know you can turn it off, as you can turn it on in a lot of PC games).

I’m not looking to start a fight here, but I do think that the mouse and keyboard are best for shooting people in the face.

On another note, you dislike the majority of Half-life games apart from Episode 1. What’s wrong with you? If I had to label a weaker chapter, I’d definitely say it was Episode 1 with the others trouncing it! :p

I don’t disagree with Smith in some respects, I think if you ever had a cross platform shooter that pitted PC gamers against console users, the pc gamers would win every time, because of the way you can tailor sensitivity to your mouse and map the controls across a huge selection of mouse buttons and keys.

It’s mostly I reckon a matter of which control system you’re more familiar with, or were ‘educated on’, although obviously both different types of control have genres that they feel instantly ‘native’ to (Mouse&keys RTS, RPG, Gamepad- Driving, platforming etc).
