    No need for "new". Just use it .... search for wii pc control games and you'll get lots of how-to.

    MS produced a motion sensitivee controller years ago. It was great ot Motocross Madness
    Here's a guide on how to set it up: http://www.overclock.net/computer-pe...e-windows.html

    It makes life much easier to just combine the price of a crappy PC and a console and just get one decent PC. I can put wheels (came with my case) under my case and roll it to my friend's house if I wanted to.

    Maybe one day I should mod my case with a powerful motor so I can sit on it and ride it around my neighborhood LOL. J/k.

    Xbox fits in my backpack, although it does get scanned separately at airports, lmao.

    This is something that has been debated for what seems like ages and is going to be hotly debated for possibly decades to come. A lot of people will say that consoles are better due to their ease of use.
    Something to think about is that consoles are becoming more and more like PC's. I am pretty certain that in several years consoles will be more of an HTPC, rather than just a console (hell, you can put Linux on the PS3).

    But then on a PC you can do more things, play games, listen to music, internet surfing, email, and even watch TV. You can actually upgrade a PC.
    Image quality is much better on a PC. If you haven't noticed a lot of game developers are coming back to PC.

    It's more of a matter of personal opinion. A lot of people are going to stand by console gaming and a lot are going to stand by PC gaming.

    yes, but as of now the consoles have the edge, not for technical reasons, but for gamers - all three consoles have a bucketload of new titles coming in, the PC is in a bit of a slump.

    PC has been in a bit of a slump, but the slump is starting to turn around. WoW and Oblivion kind of helped out PC gaming.

    they were kinda niche games, WoW is something i never could get into though. Oblivion was cool, but then those that had the option got it on xbox (my friend bought it for both platforms lol)
    Crysis will wow people i have no doubt, but there's not much else, especially for people who don't have cutting edge PC's, whereas console users are all equal (convenient!)
    plus, 4 player co-op ftmfw

    Crysis is designed to be playable on a wide range of PCs, and it's said to scale pretty well.

    If games were all released at the same time, I would turn to PC gaming. But they aren't. I don't feel like waiting an eternity to play GTA4 on the PC when all of the console players get it first.

    Games wise, I must think that PC comes first, at least for my own needs. Sure there's more new games coming to consoles, but the best racing, fps and strategy games are still on PC, even if they are a year or a few old.
