I'm just saying, that for a lot of people its too much hassle, and its less comfortable. That being said, I couldn't care less about the 1 player Halo 2 game, I never played the first Halo besides at parties, and I haven't played this one besides online, to me its a multiplayer game, and thats it hehe :) Heya, I’m not speaking badly about computer gamers, it’s cool to me.

And a gamer? I forgive your shameless Halo2 posting...post all you want about video games. We need more female gamers, ahhaha. And you know about Half-Life 2? Good deal. I used to coordinate LAN parties back at Purdue...I actually had one female gamer every now and then. Cheers. I just realized this…Narni you’re female? And a gamer?

No, it doesn't take $1,500 to build a "gaming computer," and no you don't have to use it just for gaming. Computers are a tool that everybody uses on a daily basis. One of the benefits of PC gaming is that it can be enjoyed on fast computers and slow ones too. Most people have a computer that's FAST enough to play games, they just don't have a 3d video card, which can be purchased for less than $100. Even at that cost, you'll have better graphics than an XBOX, GC, or PS2. And I don't sit two inches from my screen either. I play alot of sports/racing games alone and with friends, and I use a PC controller (out of 20 or 30 models to choose from) to do it. I hope you had fun with Halo 2, because it was only about a 10 hour game. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying Half-Life 2, which IMOH is the best first-person-shooter (Same category as Halo2) ever created. It offers over 20 hours of gaming at the same cost as Halo 2. mp Jason, don’t spread stereotypes about PC gaming.

There are very many of us "non-hardcore" gamers who prefer a console over a computer. Why? Because computer's are a hell of a lot more complicated, you have to get new graphics cards, new processors etc etc all the time to play the newest hot game. This isn't even touching on money. I am very very broke. $150.00 XBox = affordable, $1500.00 gaming computer != affordable. And how about comfort? I know, personally, I'd rather be sitting on a couch, or a recliner, away from my screen, sitting comfortably, while having fun, rather than hunched over a keyboard 2 inches from the screen. Halo 2 is for us people who like fun over serious "hardcore" gaming. I doubt anyone thinks its "cool" and got it for that reason. And if they did, well, shame on them. I got it because its fun, plain and simple. Which is what gaming is all about. Halo 2, IMHO is a good game, regardless that it’s on a console.

My X-box still looks gorgeous (more so with the HDTV kit) after 3 years! Narni, we so need to have a Halo 2 party thingy. I'm totally there.
