There are many things that have been used to play games but the longest lasting gadget of course is the PC. The PC has been here since the 1980s and has been used to play many  many games however with so many things changing and games getting better the PC can truly suck.

The Bad

Games are continuously getting better and more demanding and that requires more RAM a faster CPU and definitely a new Graphics Card (GPU). Don’t you hate it when a new game comes out and you really want to play it then suddenly after you installed it, it tells you “This Game Requires Pixel Shader 4. 0″ or “You Computer Does Not Achieve Minimum Requirements” and that just kills you in the heart, it really does because you cant play it. In the financial times we are in now, nobody can really afford to get upgrades for the computer and this is where the console really does shine. With the console you barely have to replace it since the Gaming Console Companies believe that they can make the Consoles sustainable for 10 YEARS, this obviously means no need to go and splash the cash on upgrades. New Slim versions of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have been released however that doesn’t mean the the older, fatter versions are incompatible, the older versions can still play the same games to a standard as the new versions and that is why PC Gaming can suck.

The Good

PC Gaming also has it good parts, sometimes PC’s can go so high in quality that they are better than consoles. PC’s also receive some of the best games ever such as the Starcraft franchise and the World Of Warcraft franchise, these two franchises revolutionize gaming on the PC and they continue to do so. PC’s are not only for gaming they are also for media and they are way better at controlling media than a console, this is understandable since a console is made to play games.

While some gamers prefer to use their PCs for their video games, others are die-hard console fans, so much that even selecting which console has superiority to all others is seen as an even bigger debate!

Why these differences of opinion? Several reasons, including:

1. Availability of games. Until recently, many games were available only on one platform or the other. This has changed a bit in recent years, although there can still be minor differences in game play when looking at different versions of the video game.

2. Cost of consoles. While computers can cost upwards of thousands of dollars – especially for specialised, high-end gaming systems – many gamers who prefer their games on PC cite the ability to purchase one system which lasts a number of years as one reason they would rather play their video games on a computer. Additionally, computers have the ability to be backwards-compatible: there’s no need to replace old games as your system grows more sophisticated, whereas with consoles certain games will only be available from certain brands. Also the high cost of newer consoles, despite their many features, is another discouraging factor for some users.

3. System optimisation. Even though there are computers which are optimised for game play, including high-speed graphics processors and game-specific interface devices, console gamers feel that the systems available for their console games are able to provide a greater gaming pleasure over PC systems. Consoles typically crash less frequently than computers, depending on the system being used, and there’s nothing more frustrating than being interrupted in the middle of a dramatic situation!

4. User Interfaces. PC gaming interfaces are usually a mouse and keyboard combination, which is ideal for first person shooters or strategy games, this is where the PC excels. However, driving, fighting and sports games consoles are more suitable games for control pads, which are far more comfortable and practical than using a keyboard and mouse.

One way to tell if you might be better off with a computer or console is to read PC game reviews and console game reviews. You should also read both PC hardware and console reviews to see how other people rate the latest technology.

Similarities continue to grow between gaming on consoles and PCs. Most systems (as mentioned above) offer networking, both have game specific user interface devices that benefit different types of games and computer hardware has grown extremely sophisticated now boasting multi-core processing power superior to consoles. Gamers – is it time to call off the war?

Gamers have long known that patience is rewarded with cheaper, less-buggy games. But does that adage hold true for the inclusion of digital rights management as well? Not always, but history does show us that time makes even the strictest of DRM less sucky.

This could become especially important given the latest round of DRM implemented by both Ubisoft and EA, a system that requires players to have a constant connection to the Internet in order to play. Otherwise, they’re simply kicked out to the main menu until a connection can be had again.

Needless to say, this new requirement has caused the ire of the PC gaming community, especially those who play games on a computer that may not always have an Internet connection, such as a laptop.

So far, Ubisoft’s solution, dubbed the “Online Services Platform” can be found in two of Ubisoft’s titles, Silent Hunter 5 and Assassin’s Creed 2. The system has already seen its first setback, a pair of opening weekend denial of service (DDoS) attacks on Ubisoft’s servers that left European players of Assassins Creed 2 unable to use either piece of software for approximately six and a half hours.

As a response to the outages, Ubisoft released a patch last week that would allow players to start playing at the precise time where the connection failure had occurred. Previously, it would hop them back to a checkpoint, which was certainly better than nothing but could become frustrating on missions that went several minutes between checkpoints.

As for EA, the first title to take advantage of a similar service is Command and Conquer 4: Tiberium Twilight, which is being released Tuesday. EA insists C&C4 has no real DRM, though it does use a serial key that can only be used for one online account. The player then needs to be online at all times they want to actually play the game.

The PC DRM connection

New, physical format PC titles almost always come with DRM. Despite the price, which is usually $10 cheaper than it is on consoles, the PC versions of any cross-platform game are the most pirated. The simple reason for this is that PCs offer a playground for potential pirates. Executable files can be fiddled with, as can incoming and outgoing traffic.

Publishers on the PC can fight back with third-party DRM solutions, as well as a first-party one from Microsoft that’s both hardware and software based. The company’s Games for Windows Live platform employs several types of copy protection, many of which exist on Microsoft’s servers and therefore cannot be hacked or modified as easily.

Like Ubisoft, Microsoft also offers a constant-connection type of DRM on any title, though it can also do “check-ins” on a more sporadic basis. These checks goes hand-in-hand with a user’s Windows Live ID, which means that anyone who wishes to play that game must share their information with Microsoft.

These efforts originate from the general success of gaming consoles. Console makers like Sony and Microsoft have been able to create closed boxes with complicated system checks and operating systems that run a security layer to keep unsigned code from running. Sure there’s a percentage of consoles that have been modified to run unsigned or otherwise modified game code–OK, actually it’s in the millions, but it’s nowhere near that of the PC.

The DRM waiting game

Increasingly so, the joke seems to be on the customers who end up buying this software when it first comes out. A simple look back at some controversial titles has shown us that after the initial sales come, the publisher later removes the vast majority of the DRM, leaving gamers to enjoy the software with fewer restrictions.

Spore by EA may be one of the most high profile examples of this practice. It shipped in late-2008 with SecuROM, a copy-protection technology that keeps people from installing the game on too many machines. At the time of launch, that number was limited to three, meaning a user who had purchased the software would have to keep track of where that software was installed and deactivate any old copies before installing it on new hardware. The move to include this, along with a check that would verify whether a copy was legitimate each time a user went online, resulted in plenty of negative press, bad user reviews, and piracy on an absolutely massive scale after hackers were able to bypass the security measures.

After two class action lawsuits, which took aim at the company for failing to tell customers that the game installer would also install SecuROM, Spore publisher EA relented, cranking the number of installs up to five machines. Just two months after its launch, EA also released a version that did not have SecuROM at all, though it was sold through Valve’s Steam software, which has copy protection checks of its own (though they do not require a separate program, or limit installations–two of SecuRom’s follies).

SecuROM efforts on other games were met with similar results, including EA’s Mass Effect for PC, which used a five-machine limit. It too went DRM-free when it was offered on Steam in March 2009, a whole 10 months after its initial PC release.

BioShock from 2K Games also used SecuROM, though unlike Spore and Mass Effect, it limited players to just two installs. This was later pushed to five after 2K got into trouble for printing only a U. S. activation hotline number in its manual, which meant that people outside the U. S. had to make an international call to activate their copy. There was also a problem with the uninstaller not deactivating that particular user’s software activation slot, which led to the company putting out a deactivate tool. Eventually, when Bioshock had dropped into the bargain bin, 2K released an update that ditched the activation limit entirely.

Other publishers have been far more lenient with DRM pullbacks, though this tends to happen more with legacy software, or nonfranchise titles. Take for example The Witcher by CD Projekt Red Studio. Like many PC games, it required users to have the game disc in the drive at all times, though a year and a half after it’s release, the developer put out a patch that removed the need for that, as well as adding new game features.

Even Ubisoft, the purveyors of the aforementioned Online Services Platform, have scaled back DRM on legacy titles. This happened with 2009 title Dawn of Discovery, which used Tages, a DRM solution that keeps users from making a copy of the game disc. Ubisoft released a patch for the game that removed that protection, along with the need to activate the game online. It did the same thing last year for its World in Conflict title, developed by Massive Entertainment.

Similar efforts have been made by developer and publisher Activision, which back in January announced that it would be offering DRM-free versions of its “classic” titles on gaming site Good Old Games.

Is it worth the wait?

PC gamers, and gamers in general, are a restless bunch. Getting them to wait for anything is a hard sell, especially when it’s access to a new game. Pre-release copies of games showing up on file-sharing networks is now a common occurrence and one of the top reasons these more stringent DRM solutions are being put into place. So can you really blame a publisher for putting one of these systems in place in return for higher potential sales?

The one solution, as it is with most businesses, is to vote with your wallet and make it a point to the publisher or developer of a game that such systems are keeping your from purchasing a title, or greatly reducing your enjoyment of the game experience. That much is happening with Assassin’s Creed 2 on Ubisoft’s forums. Your other option, as mentioned before, is to be patient and wait for a version of the game that’s been stripped of some of its most biting DRM traits.

Still, this isn’t a good long-term solution. Early sales are often one of the big quantifiers in whether a studio will start working on a sequel, and if everyone were to wait to buy games once they hit the bargain price, publishers would simply stop making PC versions. There’s also no promise that the really heavy bits of DRM will be stripped out at a later date, except for the fact that most publishers are unlikely to want to maintain the cost of running the activation, and/or online verification servers for older software.

So will Assassins Creed 2, Silent Hunter 5 and Command and Conquer 4 go down in history as the first games to get away with always-online DRM? Or will they just be another, in a growing list of titles that have had to scale back on the protection after enough time and/or user outcry? We’ll find out soon.

The Console Versus PC Gaming Battle

In the world of gaming, some of us like to think that PC gamers rule the roost. Others, however, are die hard console gamers. Some walk the line and play both. So, o they have the staying power? Is one type destined to become obsolete?

First of all, in the world of console gaming, there are three main categories, these days, Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or Wii gamers. Granted, some play two types and some play all three. Personally, I am a Nintendo fiend, though.

In some ways, that competition actually works in the console gamers’ favor. Since there are three main console games, there are three very distinctive console game sets to choose from. Yet, those sets are ever changing.

For example, I loved Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on N64. Imagine my dismay when I discovered that the latest Banjo game is only out on Xbox 360! Suddenly, they aren’t Nintendo specific games anymore! So, now, if I want to play my favorite games, I have to buy a 360. Theoretically, once I do that, I will see other 360 games that I like and buy those. I’m probably not alone. That trend will probably cause a lot of you gamers out there to buy more than one system and, as a result, games for more than one system.

So, any old school console gamers are probably going to stay console gamers and, by default, their kids will probably be console gamers, since the games will be in the house. I don’t see console games ever dying. So, are computer games destined to go by the wayside, instead?

Well, I think not, just for sheer convenience. Most of us use our computers on a daily basis. If we have breaks from work or just happen to be online chatting with friends, why not play a game, especially a multiplayer online game? In fact, more and more MMORPG’s are popping up. World of Warcraft, Warhammer and the like are in no danger of dying off.

Aside from that sort of convenience, there’s also the space convenience. If you play computer games, you don’t have to contend with console game systems, lots of game controllers and accessories and tons of game discs and cases everywhere. A lot of computer games don’t even require a disc to run.

Then there’s convenience point three. If you’re already at your computer playing a game you have the world at your fingertips, as far as finding game information goes. You can easily look up game cheats, game walkthroughs, game trailers and more. Of course, if you are playing a console game, you can take time out and go over to your computer and look up the cheat codes, but it takes more time.

Ultimately, there are no winners or losers in the battle between console and PC. I am looking forward to Diablo III coming out for PC, personally, but I’m also looking forward to the day that I can replace the Wii that my ex boyfriend kept, too! There’s no reason we should choose one over the other. All games are a blast!

The CX 350 Gaming Headset marks the beginning of a new era of technology in the gaming headset Whether fighting against evil aliens or fighting guerilla warfare, a fraction of a frame separates winners from the rest.

A good PC gaming headset is almost a must if you want the best gaming experience. Most games today are embedded with high definition audio effects. To fully appreciate the game and be in the game, a good gaming headset is necessary.
  So what constitutes a good PC gaming headset? Comfort
  A good computer gaming headset must be able to provide comfort to the user. This is necessary since you'll be wearing it for a long period of time. There is only one way to check if a headset is comfortable or not, and that is to try before you buy.
  Most of the time, the comfort factor depends on the: Padding – Is it thick and flexible enough to protect your ear? Headsets – Is it big enough to hold your ear? Headband – it is freely adjustable to suit the size of your head? Weight – Is it too heavy for your ears to wear?
  Put it for 15 minutes and you'll know if it is suitable for you or not. Sound Quality
  A good PC gaming headset must have the ability to produce excellent sound quality. While different people perceive sound differently, you can use these few guidelines to distinguish a headphone with good sound quality poor. Bass
  A gaming headset with a powerful bass show significant differences in the shooter first person, like Counterstrike. You will be able to hear clearly the bullets whizzing around you and distinct explosion in the background. Surround Sound
  Surround sound effect is needed to create realism in your gameplay. These helmets PC game with 5. 1 output digital audio encoded will be useful to help you identify the enemy sneaking up behind you or you shoot Noise Cancellation
  Some gaming headset uses an external microphone to pick up external noise and invert to cancel unwanted noise. This is extremely useful if you ever play in a noisy environment like an internet cafe. Cable Length
  The cable length will determine how far you can stay behind the screen. A typical gaming headset should have a cable length of 2m. Nothing shorter than the length will restrict your movement and cause inconvenience to you. If you play console games like Xbox or PS3 in your living room, you might consider getting a headset with longer cable or a cable extensible alternative to connect your headphones. Wireless Headset
  If you move there and still do not want to be bothered by the cable, you can choose the helmet game that uses wireless Bluetooth technology or RF. A word of warning, wireless headsets might be more sensitive to noise interference and / or signal loss during transmission, which can lead to static electricity, POPs or noise nuisance. Microphone
  Some of the PC gaming headsets are designed with a microphone to allow interaction during gameplay. This could be a useful feature that you want included in your gaming headset. Volume Control
  This may seem a trivial item, but it is very important when you're away from your sound system. For a gaming headset with surround sound feature, it would be useful to have a volume control line to control the level of individual speakers. You can customize the volume setting for each speaker to enhance your gaming experience. Vibrator
  Helmets Game Force feedback using vibration to try to recreate the physical sensation of bass frequencies. The headset can vibrate in sympathy with the low frequencies in the audio signal so that listeners both hear and feel the bass.
  They should summarize the most features found in a good PC gaming headset.
  In conclusion, choosing a good PC gaming headset can be a very personal thing. A helmet can easily adapt to others but not you. You must try the helmet before deciding whether it is appropriate for you.
