Pros:

1. Mouse has great speed and accuracy compared to a controller (FPS and RTS genres belong to the PC in that respect)

2. Keyboard can be used to map out many in-game functions

Cons:

1. Mapping buttons to a 5-button mouse or a 7-button mouse will never match the controller which has 6 face buttons and 4 shoulder buttons (total 10 buttons).

2. Requires a lot of desk space especially for the mouse movement

3. Mouse/Keyboard requires a lot more physical effort compared to a controller

4. Keyboard feels rather clunky i.e. qwerty keyboard was not built and designed from the ground up to play video games

Please give me feedback.

Thanks for the replies.

What about getting an average 30 frames per second with Dx9, max settings at a res. of 1400x900 ?

Intel Quad Q6600 cpu 2.4GHz

4GB RAM DDR2

512MB 8800GT

19" widescreen monitor (optimum resolution 1400x900)

1. At this resolution can I play Crysis with Dx9, maximum settings at 60 frames per second ??

2. Is this 1400x900 resolution much inferior to the 1920x1200 resolution in terms of eye candy??

All those games support voice out the box. Not all games support it though.Deihmos

Name me some PC multiplayer games that dont ??

Do PC multiplayer games like Gears, UT3, Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike: Source, etc support headset (voice) as standard out of the box ??

I read an article in GS news about Greenpeace and they said that the 360 consumes 97 Watts. Where did they get that figure ?

The dead bodies have rag-doll physics and it looks more fun when they skip round and roll.

But I agree with you with the 'melee' issue especially in multiplayer, and the 'campaign' was not long enough.

I voted 'yes', but only if it is used in puzzle areas, instead of the gravity gun.

Portal gun would not work well in combat, except against turrets. Throwing grenades or objects at the turrets might be easier.

you know something is definitely wrong and strange when Warhawk (got the most votes 46%) for the ps3 should have won this award easily.

Halo 2 for Xbox gets about 40,000 unique players playing in a 24 hour cycle everyday. How many unique players log in to play Halo 2 PC online everyday ??

If I wanted to play Halo 2 online multiplayer, then am I better off getting the xbox or pc version ??
