Hopeless Gamer

I have a aging PC and a Xbox 360 ,more and more I’m faced with the dilemma, do I buy the latest game for my pc or my 360 ?

 Some games aren’t released on both platforms, I’m talking about games where you have a choice, I’m not an ironclast for either system, hence my dithering. 

I guess it depends on the game.

Two years ago when I bought my 360 I also bought Oblivion, even back then I doubt my  PC rig would  have come close to looking as nice as on my Xbox. Burnout Revenge I think is way better on the 360 as you can steer the car fine even with the Xbox controller and the car crashes look great on the big screen.  

Twitch based games are always preferable for me on the PC because of the mouse/keyboard control, I’m happy to dial down the graphic settings for the sake of gameplay,however,its hard to guess sometimes how a new game will run on my old beige box.

Now as to the Orange box from Valve, I did a system check at YouGamers and it seems my pc will cope with the game, also I’ve not had any experience with STEAM, but hearing what the guys on the GFW radio  podcast have had to say both about STEAM and Orange box, they almost have me convinced,PC is the way to go.

Almost.

Then I start thinking, hopeless gamer right?

Did I buy my 360 to play games on it?

Team Fortress 2 that’s included in Orange Box sounds like fun, and I’m going to suck at it anyway, might as well suck at it in the comfort of my own lounge room,eh? 

What to do? Which version to buy? I’m one conflicted gamer. 

My guilty secret ?

Never played Half Life 2
