Q. i am pretty new to the gaming world since i only have a wii so could you kind of que me in on some of the obvious things and what the real difference between ps3 and xbox 360 is? the list should only be 5 games long and i like call of duty 4 and strategy games. i can only get 5 games since i am getting the playstation 3 console as one of my presents. the games can be rated up to m.
A. Well there are amazing games out for the PS3. Here is what my list would look like.
1- Call of Duty 5 : world at war
2- Metal Gear Solid 4 (probably the best espionage/strategy game for the PS3)
3- Resistance 1 (first person shooter good plot line great game play)
4- Resistance 2 (sequel to the one above)
5- Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (one of the best adventure games for PS3 amazing graphics)
You can substitute out one of the above for like Fallout 3 and Farcry 2, I just didn't enjoy those games as much.
as for the consoles here is my view
360
Pros:
First off the online for 360 is superior to the PS3. It just seems as if more people use Live and its better organized and innovative. The games for the 360 are also good with obviously the main pushers being Halo 3, Gears of Wars 1/2, and some would say Fable II. If price is an issue than the 360 is half the price of the PS3. The issue of the Red Ring of Doom is evident but small and all you have to do is send it in so no big problem there.
Cons:
It is loud not to big of a problem though. It also hot again not a big problem. Even though i did say Red Ring is not a big deal it is still there. The Xbox is just not as well put together like the PS's. The line up for the games EXCLUSIVELY for the 360 is not nearly as impressive as the PS3's. Game wise the 360 loses this year. Graphics are not as good. You have to pay 17 bucks a month for live.
Bottom line - IMO the 360 is a solid console with solid games but if you don't plan to play a lot of online or play with your friends a lot than it loses it's advantage
PS3
Pro's:
First off graphics by far; just dead beat amazing and the 360 cannot touch it. Now a debatable point here is the games for the PS3. Many will probably disagree but the PS3 HAS the better games. Why? Because besides Gears and Halo, Xbox has lost a lot of it's exclusiveness and many games that are on the Box are also on the PS3's. The line up for PS3 kicks butt including, Resistance 2, God of War 3, Killzone 3, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Grand Turismo 5. Not to mention the possible future games such as Kingdom Hearts 3, future Final Fantasy's, Shadow of the Colossus 2, and rumors of a final Metal Gear Solid sequel. Sport games are universal now so if you play those than definitely the PS3 because of the graphics. Also IMO the PS3 is just built better and will probably last longer being the fact there has been no recall. Finally, some don't care, but the Blu-Ray player is such a huge plus and is underrated by far.
Cons:
It is more expensive. Also to FULLY experience the graphics (though either way they will be better) you will need a 1080 P TV running at 120 Hertz as well as an HDMI cable that is purchased separately.
Bottomline - Even though the PS3 is more expensive you get the bang for you buck as well as the game selection I feel is better.

I just got a custom Alienware M17X laptop. What are some good games that I can get to play on it?
Q. I already have WOW, Starcraft 2, Portal, and Oblivion. I'm open to FPS games, but don't want anything like Black Ops as I already have it for the XBOX 360. Strategy games are very welcome, but not anything too like Starcraft 2.
A. try guild wars.. it's alot better than WOW and its free play online..
Whats the Better strategy game Endwar or Supreme Commander 2 Xbox 360?
Q. Really keen for a strategy game and I have the worst computer ever so want to know about one on the Xbox 360
Thanks
What about Halo Wars??
Is it any good?

A. I'd probably give the nod to Supreme Commander 2. The matches are much longer (a couple of hours) vs. short ones in Endwar (15-30 minutes), the graphics are better and the play is deeper. If you're an experienced RTS player, I think you'd enjoy SC2 more. If you're new to RTS, you might be better with Endwar. The voice command feature of Endwar is kind of cool, too.
