Never been a hardcore gamer, but like to dabble every couple years it seems.
Had a hankering for Gran Turismo, so picked up a ps3 last month and been having a quick toot on various games since. The graphics feel retro.
Picked up Grid 2 for example, looks awful on the ps3. Finally got a decent card and had a go on the PC, looks a different game, but it's akward to use, mouse and keyboard for the menus, ps3 controller for the game etc.
Then Far cry another example, won't run on full screen on the TV, only the monitor, even if the TV is set to default. Trying to do anything else while you wait for games to load usually ends up upsetting the computer. It's all niggles, but it feels like we're 10 years down the line and the PC still has the same issues it's always had.
Doesn't it look nice though?
