Not to many of us mess with computer games that I know of. I thought the computer was simply for modding my systems and looking at porn!

LMFAO! Yea suppose so and most games from pc now you can get for 360 suppose they need to shift there arses and work abit more on cross platforming like they did with shadowrun.

My biggest problem with computer games is trying to keep up with the video cards that will and won't work for a particular game. Also the patches and such. with 360 you throw it in the console and it's pretty much supposed to play. Plus my 360 is on a 46" lcd and my monitor is only a 19".

Had my GFX Card since it came out so thats abit of a year ago now and i've never had to upgrade it to play any different games and the screen issue isn't an issue now really as they come with that many addapters you could plug your VGA into it but looks shite if anything you should use s-video or HDMI PCs will always rain supreme over any console in my oppinion.

I've never used S-video for an HDTV but I've read in several places it looks terrible on an HDTV. S-video is an obsolete connector, DVI and HDMI are the way to go. When I built my PC I didn't realize my monitor was VGA only, my graphics card came with a DVI to VGA adapter and my monitor looks way better than my 26'' LCD even with analog video. My LCD TV is a bit ghetto lol. Anyhoo, inspired by XBMC I built a media PC which is connected to my TV through a DVI to HDMI adapter. I think 95% of people would not notice the difference between an analog and digital picture.

Personally, I've never had issues of video card compatibility and games. Fair to say my video cards are somewhat new. I have plenty of FPS on PC and the fun never ends. The only problem seems to be that most of my buddies are sold on XBL, so PC gaming online is pretty much none. My video card has HDMI ouput and the graphics are amazing...for 60 bucks i upgraded my drive a D blu-ray player so I pretty much have HTPC and gaming rig at the same time. Like it or not, PC is much more dynamic than consoles, however consoles are much easier to use...I suppose this is y most people are sold with consoles.
You guys should try Brothers in Arms Hells Highway or Far cry 2 in PC and you;ll see what we're talking about. You can hack your PC via Daemon Tool ....way easier than a 360.

I got it, fun game and willing to play online if ur interested - I use a 360 controller on my big screen, console version can't compare haha.

Gears of War's strongest point was Split Screen. However multiplayer is where the game shines. Gears also has an odd difficulty level which goes from being really easy to being punishingly hard. The textures and models are absolutely gorgeous, and the game play is speedy and fascinating.
