Now as everyone here knows, for as long as I’ve been around games, I have been a PC gamer. Actually let me correct that, I’ve been a computer gamer. That is I play my games on a computer.

But recently, I’ve made a bit of a change to my gaming life. I’ve moved from playing all my games on the PC to most of my games on the Xbox 360.

Now, I’ve owned the Xbox 360 for quite some time, but I’ve never actualy played any games on it, besides Guitar Hero.
This was mainly because all the games I wanted to play were on the PC.

But recently, a lot of the games that I’ve been waiting for, or excited for, have been either crippled for the PC, poorly ported, or just delayed, and there’s also a bunch of games that just don’t make it to the PC.

So I’ve made the switch, and its been fantastic, I’m not being bored out of my mind with the one release in a blue moon, I’ve got a whole back catalog of games that I have never had access to that I can now play. I’ve been catching up on old titles like Assassins Creed, Prototype, Soul Calber 4, and the Halo series just to name a few (yes I know some of these are on the PC, but seriously, they are poor ports).

I’m also loving the fact that I don’t need Steam, or to enter CD keys, or sign up for a service to play my games. Just push my little X button, whack the DVD in the drive, and away I go.

Now, don’t for a second think that I’m thinking “oh the controller controls the game as good as a mouse and keyboard”. Because I don’t. For FPS the PC controls will always be more accurate. That doesn’t mean that the controller doesn’t work. After a little practice, I’ve found that aiming, and movement can be quite fluid in 360 FPS games (don’t know about PS3, I’d imagine it would be the same).
