Yeah now you have a lot of online application on a Console so i dont think there still a lot of diff btw Pc Game and Console..For me (and i'll add an example) i dont think you can play Diablo 3 or future Starcraft II (Finger cross) on any current console...We still have the same probleme with football/Soccer game on console and computer...why Console version are always better?..

Well PC games have games like the Total War series and the Civilization series and Sins of a Solar Empire to name a few. Even games in the early 90's are deeper than most console games out there. Nothing against console games though. I actually enjoy the Japanese, story driven RPG's out there which is what I would consider the deepest type of console game. But compared to the various managerial and flight simulations, tactical wargames and free-roaming, player driven RPG's out there offered on the PC market. Console games are not really that deep.

Well my point was that comparing console games released today and PC games rleased today you're not finding any more depth on the PC side of things. Gaming becoming mainstream has ruined the overall quality of games.

God I'm looking forward to Heavy Rain.

I completely disagree and I've given my reasoning above.

My point was that EVEN computer games from yesterday are deeper than console games today.

I'm not denying the depth of PC games of yesterday at all.

My point was that TODAY there aren't any new PC games thath ave the depth of previous generations. Unless you'd like to enlighten me on some.

If you're looking for depth on a console game then look up some information on the PS3 exvlusive that's due for 2009 called Heavy Rain. I'd paste some links but I'm at work and websense loves to be useless.

Total Wars Empires, Sins of a Solar Empire (Empire building/real-time strategy games) Civilization 4 (Empire building strategy game... there is Civ Revolutions for the consoles which is an enjoyable but dumbed down version made for the console market.) Any of the combat flight simulators out there (Some of them so detailed it's like flying the real thing without the gut wrenching g-forces of course) Elder Scrolls 4 which was released for the consoles too but there are many such games available for the PC, not to mention the PC version has expansion packs (I'm not aware of expansions for the console versions) The PC versions of the Sims are infinitely more free and detailed than the objective driven console counterparts which brings me on to Sim City 4000 (I think that's the latest one).

I'll look up Heavy Rain

PSP. I can do everything but use it as a telephone.

Heavy Rain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
IGN: Heavy Rain
YouTube - Heavy Rain (PS3) Games Convention 2008 trailer

Could look deeper.

Another interesting game coming up for PS3 as well (PS3 tends to have way more indie/unique games) that's actually coming out on Thursday is called Linger in the Shadows.

Linger In Shadows by Plastic (.pl)

It looks to be a game where you just... experience the world. The developers (Plastic) claim that it's not a game, but an experience.
