Heh - only joking.
Or were you rolling at my misuse of the possessive apostrophe...?

I agree PCs aren't much cop for gaming but I must say that I have ALWAYS preferred playing GTA 3 and Vice City on the PC as the control system is better... and don't forget emulation!

But PCs are teh aces for gaming - they're just the big brother of the C64 and Speccy for crying out loud. Sure there's an overabundnce of FPS on the platfrom, but that's balanced out by too many RPGs on consoles...

I play 99% of my games on the PC.
The PC is THE machine for games - my kids play with consoles

I love the GTA (3D) games, but I think the control on the PS2 is fantastic apart from when you have to do a bit of first person shooting (then it's me fighting the controls more than the baddies). Since you spend most of the game running and driving, I don't see how that will be good on a PC. What do you use to control yourself when on foot or in a car/on a bike?

I use the mouse to good effect along with the cursor keys and surrounding keys. It's actually A LOT easier than it sounds!
Aiming guns is a damn sight more accurate and quicker using the mouse also.
