Consoles are pretty good for gaming, PC of course is still better for the fact that all console games must be developed on PC at some point..so how could they be better then PC games? I have FF XI for PS2 and it is by far the most amazing game I have ever played. GTA is a series worth looking at for someone who likes explosions and carnage. For those looking for a shooter to pass time, Socom or Halo should do you right. For the avid racing fan, Gran Turismo 3, Need for Speed Underground, Tokyo Xtreme racer zero and Tokyo Xtreme racer 3 are worth your money, I have yet to actually play Doom 3, so no comment on that yet. For the strategic shooter, Commandos 3 destination Berlin is the way to go, Just make sure you have a P4 3.00 GHZ or higher in your PC before you grab it. Even though they say 2.99GHZ recommended..I tried it on a 2.00 and it ran choppy and sluggish..get a 3.00 or higher. ESPN NFL 2k5 looks awesome..a must play for sports fans. GTA: San Andreas will be out in october, and will PWN the previous games in the series. Gran Turismo 4 will also be released this fall, and once again GT will PWN the racing genre for a few years to come. Need for Speed Underground 2 is set to hit stores this fall, and yes, more mod options are supposed to be included. Midnight Club 3 dub Edition is due out this fall, this promises much more in-depth game play than the previous 2, along with racing Hummers alongside a GTO?? Or a Cadillac Escalade vs. a Dodge Neon??? Who would have thought... The new expansion for FF XI is due out September 21st, named Chains of Promathia, it promises new areas, jobs, missions, and quests. Fall 2004 will be a hardcore gamers heaven if you have the money and time to keep up with everything. If you happen to just want a good game to play, look around this fall, won't take long to find one.
