BioShucks
I officially give up trying to run the BioShock PC demo. When you spend as much time trying to get a demo to run as you would playing it, it’s time to throw in the towel. This experience did remind me why I’m not much of a PC gamer though. When you go to the store to buy an Xbox360 title, you don’t have to worry about whether or not it will work on your particular Xbox360 (well, barring any crimson illuminations). With PC titles, it’s hit or miss. And don’t get me started on the installing, the patching, the subscription fees, etc. Console gaming is just a much less complicated process. I’ve heard the argument, “Why should I buy a $350 system to play a game I can already play on my PC?” Well, I’m willing to bet that if your PC can run that new game (BioShock for instance), you bought the PC specifically to play games, meaning you probably spent $350 more than you would have if you bought a PC to surf the internet. And at least with consoles you don’t have to upgrade for 5 years. I don’t know of many PCs made in 2002 that will run BioShock, right? Do you think your Ultimate Gaming Rig PC purchased today will play games made in 2012?













Do you think your:
a)Xbox 360
b)Wii
c)PS3
purchased today will not
a)be seeing red
b)become tiresome due to its control scheme
c)have any games STILL
by 2012?
It seems that only the PS2 can outlast any PC that you ever thought of or will think of buying. Point is, if you’re a gamer, you’ll be spending at least $350 within half a decade anyway. Might as well be a machine where you can play Minesweeper. Just sayin’.
