people like you claim that they aren't "real gamers"

People like me aren't complaining that they aren't real gamers - people like me are claiming that they are getting value for money out of their machines, and getting nice graphics with a nice frame rate without the need to do a bit of bank robbing in order to pay for it...

I've been playing The Last of Us.

Poor you... smile

I've been playing Split/Second, so nyah!

A video of it is here

In reply to a post by mrnelster:
And nobody will be getting one of these this year if they don't pull their fingers out!

I pre-ordered on March 8th so I'm hoping I'll be alright.

/nervously crosses stuff


I shall be pretty miffed if I don't get one after coughing up a 20 quid deposit to ASDA Direct.

Shopto.net don't take a deposit and they are now doing credit (including interest free apparently). You just fill in the form when you pre order. Might do that over 12 months rather than the credit card, if there are numerous games that take my fancy at launch. Gamescom will hopefully be interesting for more info on release titles/dates

What games are you planning on picking up at release?

How many telegraph poles do you have to take out before it even shows a dent on that hunk of junk. Looks like a carppy Toyota Supra.

Northeners cars are them.

Toady ,If you actually played The Last Of Us you would seriously think of getting a console because the game just Is Pure Class.

There are many games on consoles that will never see the light of day on a PC and thats why i eloped many years back.

PC gaming is great but it usually means been confined to a office 18inch from the monitor with back ache,because there are not many wives/Girlfriends going to put up with all that equipment in the front room,but with consoles its basically plug and play in any Television you have with very little effort.

With the upcoming Playstation 4 specifications only die hard PC gamers are going to get a better version of a game on all platforms.

Anyway each to there own there are pros and cons to both but i prefer the multitude of games that frequent the console platform,and when Gems like The Last Of Us show up then its well worth the wait.

It may be Class, but it may not be Fun...

The may be console only games (thanks to developers thinking exclusive deals make more senses than for multiple platforms), but as I have mentioned before, the reverse is also true...

If you want PC portability, try a laptop!
