Do any of you play games?
I don't mean games involving a strap-on - unless it's the strap on your wii-mote
I mean computer or video games - i'm a geek, comes from being an Atari 2600 / ZX Speccy kid I suppose.
If so, what?
I got a Wii but i'm addicted to COD 4 on my pc.
Think i'm gonna buy a PS3 this week as well cos Gran Turismo 4 5 and Grand Theft Auto IV look the nuts

I was a hardcore gamer in my younger years, but don't play much of anything anymore. I do still play a bit of Diablo 2 once in a while. I have been watching the ads for the new GTA, and it looks like I might have to shell out the $$$ for an Xbox 360 in a few months.  |

Hmm, interesting article - it's very unbiased and full of facts and the xbox is a clear winner.
Did you know you can now get an xbox 360 for £138 in Tesco with 5 games. Cheap as chips.
Despite all that above i'm still gonna get a PS3 for 3 simple reasons:
1: Gran Turismo 5
2: Metal Gear Solid 5
3: Haze

ive always been a sony man but in fairness to help you out. ive heard some things about it like the red ring of death or sumfin like that/ 1 in 3 xboxes has it i think. its basically where the whole thing doies on ya. sony has come out and sed that SOME ps 1/2 games will not play on the ps3 but if most of them, or all the ones you have then its alright it my oppinion.

Clearly the X-Box 360 is the winner

JUst been reading up on that RROD thing and it does seem a huge problem but as i'll probably only use the thing a few hours a week surely it wont happen to me and only happens to the hardcore gamers that play them for hours on end 
PS3 is looking more likely now as this RROD thing is kinda worrying

I used to do the same as xenochrome, in my earlier years I used to be a hardcore CounterStrike/Call Of Duty 2 player. Pretty dedicated the age of 16/17 to Gaming (what a waste) did a few competitions won cash prize's etc. but at the expense of my social life  . Gave it up along with the Internet (I only use my mobile phone plugged up to the PC for the internet) and now I'm much better for it lol  believe it or not when I gamed I wasn't exactly into music either :S

I agree PC's are best for some games - 1st person shooters especially - thats why I play COD4 on mine.
We got a Wii and they're wicked for when there's a few ppl playing.
Still getting a PS3 though.

Strangehold I had on my Xbox 360 before I sold it, its a good game but becomes very repetitive quickly althought jumping belly first on a trolley and shooting someone's knee caps out and scoring bonus points for shooting a sign onto someones head is highly amusing
