[QUOTE="Berserker_2"]

The list below shows the most played games on PC according to Nielsen. Half of the games are over 4 years old and 2 of them date back to the 90s. It's also surprising that Halo dominates all FPSs on PC. (On a personal note, this justifies my opinion that Half-Life 2 wasn't a "great" game. It was good, not great.)

Top Ten Played PC Games in June 2007:

  1. World of Warcraft
  2. Halo CE (2003)
  3. The Sims
  4. Halo 2
  5. Runescape (2001)
  6. Madden
  7. Warcraft III (2003)
  8. Warcraft (1994)
  9. Counter Strike (1999)
  10. GTA

looks like the hermits "we don't care about teh Halo and console FPS" is BS

People who buy Halo on the PC are not hermits. They are casual gamers, that's all.

You should realize that the PC has the strongest casual gamer userbase of all platforms, which is the reason why those old games are played that much.

[QUOTE="Marka1700"]Graphics are just a scratch on the surface compared to all the other awsome things this game has to offer. To bad I'll have to get the 360 version. I doubt my 6600GT can take the heat.Sir_Graham

Yeah looking at the benchmarks for Rainbow Six: Vegas (only UE3 on PC so far) I think I'm going to go with the 360 version too. 1280X720, with possible 4XFSAA, decent level of detail and decent frame rate is probably better than what my PC could pull off. I might wait for the PC version demo before I make the final decision. Does anyone know if any hardware site has benchmarked Bioshock yet?

Rainbow Six: Vegas was horribly optimized, unlike Bioshock. PC Gamer UK for their review ran it on an Athlon X2 5200, single 8800GTS, at 1600x900 in at max settings! Called it "dazzlingly beautiful and hitchlessly smooth" too.

So if you have a beefy PC, there is no reason to get the 360 version instead of the PC one, though naturally, you might want to wait until the demo to check it out for sure.

It looks good on the 360? It'll look even better on the PC!

Why would I get a Mac at all, let alone for gaming? My PC works fine, it's cheaper, upgradable, overclockable. There simply is no point.

Primarily because System Shock 2 was one of the best coop games ever.

Of course, it's still possible someone will mod coop into the game.

CoD4 is a different game. It's a linear FPS with closed environments. You shouldn't compare them like this.

I doubt it will really outsell much. Bioshock is one of the most anticipated games of this year for me, but the problem is, people just aren't used to games like it.

Either way is good, I'd go for the monitor, but in the worst case, if you get the TV, you still can always hook up your PC to it.

Seems to me like the PC is the only reliable HD platform people actually use-considering that around 85% of PC users use resolutions of 1280x1024 and higher.
