Okay, so I'm an avid PC gamer and have been for years. Up until Xmas '07, the last console I owned was a SNES, but I got my kids an Xbox 360 for that Xmas. It crapped out after six months(RROD) and I swore off consoles forever.

Then, last week, I saw video of Killzone 2 and was blown away. I saw a cam of gameplay footage, not even a direct vid, and was really astounded. I started thinking of getting a PS3 because of KZ2, but also have been thinking of getting a Blu-Ray player and figured that a PS3 would kill two birds with one stone.

Aside from KZ2, what are some reasons I should get a PS3? Can anyone convince me to take the leap? Thanks!

Good God. Stranglehold. Biggest disappointment of 07. I'll never buy Midway again.

Gaming is a hobby and I've learned that iIt's pretty difficult to turn people into concepts, like hobbies. I once tried to turn a neighbor into coin collecting and failed miserably. I managed to get him to transform into a 1976 nickel, but that just means he became a coin, and not coin 'collecting'. It's tough.

If you want to get your wife interested in gaming, that'd be much easier. Since you know what she likes, find games that cater to her interests. A lot of non-gamers find the basic games, like Tetris, fun and addicting. Start there.

The Kane and Lynch box art looks pretty good, but I hear the game is assy. Has no zazz to speak of.

I got a free copy of Quake Wars with my 8800GT but I sold it for $20. The last id game I liked was Quake 3 Arena.

With so many delays, why bother even releasing it? I can't imagine that it'll get more than a glance now, especially with graphics that are probably dated at least 3-4 years.

Personally, I think it's insulting when companies like Bioware and Microsoft do this, with games like Halo 2 and Jade Empire. They wait until the console sales dry up for the games, then they poop out a sorry PC port. I don't buy these year-old PC ports because I figure that if the companies are that confident in their product and respect the PC gaming community that much, they'll release these games simultaneously as the consoles, as is done with many games.

The NOLF games were awesome. Such great graphics(for the time), gameplay, storytelling, weapons, comedic tone. It was all great, and the female lead was such an awesome, sexy character. With next-gen graphics and computing power, a second sequel could be really incredible.

This Store24 guy sounds like an idiot. How does he even work a keyboard? (shakes head)
