Definitely console games.. There are only a few computer games I really enjoy and most of them are already on consoles.. Consoles have a bunch of games that aren't on computers.

I'd say both. But it really depends on the graphics of the game. For example, GTA on the ps2 and GTA on the comp isn't much difference(i think) and so is MoH.

I definitely prefer console games. I like having the controller in my hands more than I like being on a keyboard.

For me; it depends on whether a game is system-exclusive or on both console and PC. Personally I favour PC because updates are easier and more reliable to get (as anyone who owns the console version of Team Fortress 2 will know once they see how many updates and fixes the PC version's received). I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of PC-exclusive RPGs. Last one I can think of that counted was The Witcher, but that's getting a PS3 version soon.I guess I'm still a little sore about PC games that had been held back because it was being released on consoles as well. The UI of Oblivion is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Sure, it probably needed to be at that resolution to work on the 360 and PS3; but that didn't mean that they had to palm the low-res version off on us PC users. At least we got access to the mod tools and the community's put out a few alternate UI mods that put it at a more PC-friendly resolution and that they didn't make this mistake (well, not to any noticeable degree for me) with Fallout 3 (it's faithfulness (or lack thereof) to the original Fallout games, however, is a debate for another thread).

Well it mostly depends on the type of game you want to play most games are great on the pc but some are a little better on a console. I would have to say any sport/racing game should be played on a console. Shooting and RPG are great on both, RTS games work only on the PC (sorry halo wars) But and there is a big BUT if you don't have the money to upgrade you computer every 6/12 months then consoles are much better. PC get old fast so to keep up on the hardware is very hard, consoles just stay the same which is great.

Dude i think consoles are just better. I was raised on super nes, n64 and ps1, i would never touch computer games. I mean what's the point? computers cost way more than consoles and the games are just as expensive.

I must say I prefer console games. Can' t be bothered with keeping PC to up-to-date. Don't really see point in that because if you upgrade it in 6months you need to do it again. Of course for occasional MMORPG game that I play its good, but luckily the ones I play are still playable with my low spec pc. Of course there are new generation of consoles much more often than it used to be when i was a kid but at least there are still years between them.

I voted for both. It is slightly unfair to ask someone to choose which of the 2 is better, due to the fact that you can play console roms on your computer, as well as new improved hacks of them.

I vote for both. There are different games and controls from my preferences. PC games can be downloaded and there is wider source of memory. But overall, console games have farther extensions and easier controls. Like having a guitar controller or wireless remote for shooting games (like wii play).And console games could be held in multi-player mode, very good for recreation for friends and relatives, the usual reason for having console games like wii/gamecube.And hand-held console games like gameboys or psp are more convenient for traveling. especially when the kids are having a long three hour drive to a summer vacation spot for the whole family.They could be brought anywhere and could be played anytime (with exceptions like school hours :P)

I would choose both, because you can play the computer for a long time and then after a while you will slowly get bored, and so you would want to play something else, aka the console's, or at least thats how it works for me, if i play computer for too long i get bored of it after awhile and leave, so i start to play console games, also there are some console games that you cant play on the computer and computer games you can't play on consoles.

Definitely console. There are so many consoles out there, which means there's a HUGE library of games, which means you'll never get bored!

I voted for both as I like games on all platforms. It really depends on the genre whether a game is better suited for pc or console. For instance most RTS work better on pc's and fighters are better of on consoles. Which are better depends on how good the game is.Though personally I prefer consoles, because when you buy a console game you don't have to check whether you system has the required specs, like with a PC game. ;)

Voted computer.Nothing beats a keyboard and mouse for shooters, and RPGs and RTS games just don't work well on consoles for the most part.Sports and fighting games I'd take a pad for control any day, but you can use them on the computer anyway so...

I'd have to go with both.I've been a console gamer ever since NES, but I've also grown to like many RTS type games on the computer, and a few of the popular FPS games(cs, cod).I have a pretty bad ass computer and a ps3+360, so i play both :)
