Day 11 - Gaming system of choice: PC


Granted, I've only ever systematically gamed on a PC, various versions of Game Boys and old Atari consoles, and only recently on X-box 360. But there's simply no comparison. It might be more complex than, say, chucking a disc at an X-box or PS or slapping a cartridge on a SNES, but PC still rules supreme. Not for the fact you get games you couldn't possibly play on another platform, at least not well. Strategy games and FPS on gamepads, really? Not for the fact HD and internet gaming were PC fields years, in some cases decades before consoles got the hang of it. Not for the modding communities which can add weeks or even months to games you already have. Not for the customization you can get, unlimited saves (which admittedly the consoles finally caught on about in some cases). Simply for the nearly unlimited back catalog of gaming choices. Sure, it's a pain getting old games to run properly on new systems, and new games can sometimes make it ball-achingly hard to play them on older PCs, but the choice is right there. Just a tad more complex. PC - The thinking gamer's choice.
