The gaming world has never been a cheap one. The technology on which our games are built upon is forever changing and becoming more advanced. Yet even today we still have to choose. I'm a man who would rather buy both than choose a favourite. I like to experience every "next big thing" that the gaming industry throws at me. This however leads me to a dilemma. Whenever I buy a new game or even log onto Gamespot I find myself asking "Where do I draw the line?" Allow me to explain. I'm a proud owner of a Playstation 3, a Playstation 2 and a Gamecube and I have a five year old PC. I have every intention of buying an XBox 360 when I have more free time on my hands. Aside from the rather obvious exclusives that must be played there are also games such as Tomb Raider: Legend, "Tom Clancy's: Ghost Recon Advanced Warfare and Call of Duty 2. These may seem like small fish in a big pond but my way of looking at it is simple, Why buy Legend for PS2 when it's better on 360? Why buy a Splinter Cell game for the Playstation when it gets noticeably better review scores on Microsoft's pride and joy? So while most people will take a side in the console war I'll shed the extra three hundred euro to sleep better at night. Another, much bigger, issue lies in PC gaming. This is the antichrist of the gaming world. This is an area in which there really is no limit and this is what I think about I think I've gone too far. The prospect of buying a new PC genuinely worries me. A person can spend quite literally tens of thousands of euro on a new PC and it would be out of date before it would be taken out of the box. How on Earth is a guy like me supposed to buy a PC on a college student's budget when this can still happen? How can I, in good conscience spend two thousand euro on a PC when there's a chance it won't play the latest games? In my perfect world PCs are released every four years and can play any game that is designed to be played on a PC. All PC technology would be treated in the same way game consoles are and because of this it would be sold at a feasible price. While I'm speaking of a perfect world there would be no such thing as an exclusive. There would be one console. It would play Blu-Ray, have free internet and play any game that wasn't designed for the PC, fully backward compatible. However I would not include the Wii in this because this doesn't compete, it just aims at a different market. I dream of a world without fanboys and without unnecessary choices. Games would not be ported and people would not miss out on games because it only came out for the PS3 or vice versa. Thoughts?
