When I started playing computer games more and more, I stopped playing console games totally. As I said, playstation1.
once you are turned on to interactive and changing worlds of MMORPGs, that have dev teams working on new areas and dungeons and lands to roam, there is no comparison to things like the Wii. Kid stuff.
Sure, dads across America love shoot em up games, but when you talk to real gamers, pc gaming is where it is.
I like to set up macros on my keyboard and use 40 different buttons to wage massive fights, not 6 buttons and be confined to the discs being marketed as "games' today.
this is just my opinion as a pc gamer.

I hear where you're coming from. I started playing text MUDS before the Internet, then eventually Ultima Online, EverQuest, Shadow Bane, Dark Age of Conan, etc, etc.
What's changed is I don't want to play games for hours and hours and hours every day. Sometimes I want to sit in front of my TV and bang out 30 minutes of fun on Metal Gear Solid 4 or have a bunch of friends over drinking and play some Guitar Hero World Tour.
MMORPGS have their place, just mostly not in an adult world. Who's going to call up their buddys on a friday night to come over and get a little WOW time in?
