ok bottom line is that PC is the best.. consistantly the best graphics available on ANY platform (even xbox, the most graphically powerful of the nextgen systems, doesnt match up to top of the line graphics processing for PC). Also, the controls of PC are the most challenging and indepth as well, for their are exponentially (by a small power of course =p) more keys, not to mention the extreme level of precision control that the mouse adds, plus thru midi/serial/usb ports, all sorts of peripherals can be used, including flightsticks and throttles, something I dont see(at least not good ones) for many consoles. Also, computers can do a lot to add to the gaming experience, ie, if you have internet you can look up walkthroughs, reviews, and cheats for games, but you cant do that on your console, can you? In addition, PC has the ability for as many player multiplayer as the game itself allows, as opposed to however many controller slots there are on the console. Finally, with the birth of filesharing programs like kazaa, many games can be downloaded (illegally) for free. Another asset of the P.C. is that via the internet, countless mods/skins/levels are available for many games, allowing the player to totally revamp/warp the game to his/her liking. I think it's obvious which is the most capable gaming platform. :)

Valid claims.
But consoles are better.

Pikmin is a real time strategy game of sorts along with some other elements. A great game, very addicting as is Luigis mansion. I reccomended you buy luigis mansion if you see it cheap or at least rent it its incredibly fun until its over. but do trade turok in for pikmin. theyre are several different endings depending on how many pieces of your ship you collect. I haventy gotten them all yet but I havent played in a while either because Ive been playing too much Eternal Darkness, RE remake and Mario sunshine.

The babe magnet behind the desk at EB told me to pick up Monkey Ball 2 instead of Pikmin.. After just playing it for about 30 minutes I don't think I'm really going to like it. Just a bunch of shallow minigames and redundant courses.. No plot, no sense of development or progression.. I guess their ears are sort of cute... but I can't believe that bastard recommended it to me! Is this all the first Monkey Ball game consisted of?

Take it back, break the case, and stab him with it.

I'm seriously considering it! Or I could asphyxiate him by stuffing his AD&D manual down his throat... Argh!

Gamecube makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Nintendo has this magic that Sony and Microsoft can't emulate. And Sega, sadly, are in no position to do anymore. :-(

I admit, Gamecube is a sweet little console... Don't know if I would want Xbox or Gamecube more...
methinks xbox because it can play dvd and will have some awesome games soon.

The Gamecube sure is a loveable little system, but as far as raw power, memory, and graphical capabilities go, the Xbox is champion.. Of course none of this means anything without innovative games that utilize the box's features -- which there will be plenty of.....Soon. The closest one on the horizon is Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. Not sure what the release date on that is but it's sometime soon.

Every demo game I play for these damn 128 bit consoles has left me unimpressed. except sonic, which I briefly played, that looked cool.
star fox... what the hell is with that lame annoying foreign language they force the player to hear when she talks? Okay I EASILY killed a flying hardly interactive air ship... now I'm on some boat with typical annoying and purposeless crates you can move around. this isn't fun. I don't want to move crates. I found this key and they made a big ass cut scene deal about it, even though it was super easy to find. finally I walk up to some dinosaur dood. (a cut scene plays which is pretty cool, but this isn't a game, it's a movie) Finally I end up on some other ship I guess and there's ONE pathetic enemy, a floating jelly fish or something, that is harder to deliberately be attacked by than avoid. This is pathetic, am I right? I'm hardly interested in playing further.

has anyone seen another "mario 64 clone" demo... the main character is this, cat or something, but it's face looks SO stupid. Who would want to be that character?? It would be better if the screen just advanced when you moved and didn't have to be limited in imagination to being that retarded cat with a super flat wimpy face. Let's see, for x-box, they had a stupid car game with really annoying rock and roll music or something. it doesn't seem fun. as for smash brothers on gamecube, the fighting techniques and strategy are nothing compared to street fighter 2 where strategy actually mattered. I guess mario sushine looked pretty cool, I was in some level where you fight a huge ass centepede. What the hell were they thinking when they gave him a water cannon?? WTF? turning into a racoon or fire ball slinger is cool, but this is just bizarre.

i bought the Gamecube this week... it is a sweet product... but there are definately very few interesting titles out there now..... Pimkin sounds interesting, suppossed to have unique gameplay, maybe that is why a lot of people don't like it...
i think that Nintendo provides a different experience from the PC... Xbox just seems like Microsoft, which already dominates the PC market, is trying to force people to buy a second, very limited computer... screw 'em...

A friend of mine just bought me a GameCube with The Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker, because he's mad or insanely rich.

i never expected i'd be playing zelda before you would have already finished the entire game!... that's really fucked up. You mean to tell me the game has been sold out for all these weeks now? I feel your pain man :-(
If your television supported PAL i'd send you a copy ;-)
