PC News and Game Reviews

This is directed at the console masses. Please prove me wrong or fill me in if you know any different. Having recently being treated to a helping of HALO on the XBOX, I noticed an inherent problem with FPS on consoles. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO AIM!!!!!!

You can tell me them little thumb controls are accurate to 10 billionths of a pixel…..but its pure bullshit! I found myself battling tediousness in a vein attempt to get a moving target into a crosshair. Every movement of the thumb control lead to a massive jump of the crosshairs!! How have you poor “consoles” managed to play any FPS like this….its sickening.

The good from the bad in the FPS world are separated by their mouse control and keyboard strafing…….I tried to strafe using a joy-pad and ended up laughing myself to death. The combination of moving and trying to keep your target on one enemy is all but impossible.

I am therefore going to state that console gamers CANNOT be as good at FPS as their PC counterparts due to the fact FPS work much better using a mouse and keyboard combination…

I have spoken!
