| | Well, I was considering building a new computer once I move into my new place. Because, well, you know, games. But take one look at the games that have been released this year so far, and the top games on gamerankings.com. I had no idea that PC gaming was this much in a rut. It's pretty much World of Warcraft and Orange Box. That's about it. I guess that plan is out the window for a few more years.
But then again, why am I surprised? PC gaming comes in waves. It was pretty popular once PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube began to show their age. You could get state of the art graphics on your computer instead of 5 - 6 year old blah looking stuff on your consoles. Plus, you were playing it on a computer monitor, which meant HD graphics. Right now though, the consoles are way too new. The previous advantage of PC gaming having online play is out the window, with the consoles offering sometimes superior online setups (except for wii) to that of many PC games. Plus, more and more people have HDTVs, so why would you want to play on a tiny little computer monitor? Besides MMOs, the only real advantage PC gaming has left right now is modding. Oh yeah, and easy piracy.
Everyone these days is quick to call PC gaming dead for the above reasons, but give it another few years.
