I think it's the same for all fps games...maybe it's the pad...with mouse is easier

Meh, PCs = you need a lot of money to upgrade, then there is always performance issues. Sure I love pcs, but if I can use a console for gaming, I will. Since you pop in the disc and it works automatically.

[Dave]

Yes, but you have to admit that it's difficult to play Fps and impossible to play rts games...
but you're right when you say you are more "carefree" when you play consolles.

[Burger Meister]

I can't admit it's difficult to play FPS, because it isn't and it's not impossible to play rts games. Ever see C&C 3 or LOTR BFM 2 on xbox 360? They both work fine. Sure it's way easier to play with a mouse for rts games, it's still very fun to do it with a controller. I remember starcraft 64 (for n64 duh) and it had splitscreen co-op, competetive, etc... best game I've played on 64. They need those on more consoles.

I have a slightly higher than middle of the road comp, and it really sucks when I buy a game that should
work, and doesn't, or a newer game that I'm not sure if it'll run or not, and it works fine w/ no glitches.
Don't know if that's because of XP or not, but that's why I'm getting a 360 - for gaming.
As far as FPS horror games goes, I haven't played many. I really liked Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises (?) but they could use a little re-vamping. One game I played, I think off this site, was based on some kind of D&D rules and you were trapped in a valley w/ a Master Vampire or whatever who controlled everything. Crappy graphics, but it was old, but it was a good game. I did have to use the walkthrough a couple times to figure out what to do though. The only FPS horror I can think of off the top of my head that I've played is Doom 3, and I only played a little of the expansion.

Some horror games I finish this year or close to it -

Realms of the Haunting - lot of fun, work fine on my XP, worth buying (anybody want to buy mine?) because of the cut scenes and story background. I needed the walk through on occasion to get past some roadblocks. The monster battles are a lot of fun.

The Thing - Just got this game, really like the fear and trust elements of the game. My team members can suddenly morph into the thing or freak out from fear and attack me or even "off" themselves! Too bad the replay value is low - I like to see more of this idea in FPS games.

Quake 4 - good game, -good graphics / story line / single player challenge, I need to get back and finish this game. Got stuck at the convoy ambush run.

Painkiller - just waves of critters shooting in a Gothic setting, like the boss battles with oversize monsters. Lotta mindless fun.

Doom 3 Hell on Earth add on - more mindless fun in the evil setting. Also played different mods and original Doom shareware redone with Doom 3 engine. That was a blast, bum it was too short! ID should redo Doom & Doom 2 with the laster engine and sell it! I would buy it!

Kiss Psycho Circus - Doom clone, bargain bin, unreal engine, needed to cheat a few times so many critters, like it!

Suffering - Fun and twisted, the game had a good story line and got better the more you played. When you are done check out the "easter egg" raven at the end of the game (which shows you the deleted beginning and why it was drop!). Needed the walk thru a few times, monster battles tough but not unreasonable. Had to watch on you tube alt. endings since I did not want to play thru again.

HL with Hearts of Evil mod - played this a LONG time ago, decided to try it again! It's just a lot of cheap fun!

It's old, but not quite old enough to be undead. No shovel for it.
