Are there any avid Video game players use this site?, I can't believe that the fastest growing entertainment medium in the world doesn't have it's own category.

I love Console Games, used to be into PC Games but got sick of all the "crashes" "lock ups" and "minimum specification" getting too high!

Now XBox and PS2 are virtually up with PC graphics and gameplay and the new XBOX 360 here in 5 months which is designed to be ahead of PC's for graphical power and proccesing power for 2 years i prefer to stick to these simple to use machines!

Oh, and as a bit of usless info, i saw an advert for a local company wanting a games tester to play upcoming games in there office for 9 hours a day 5 days a week about 3 years ago, all the questions were fairly basic computer things like "what is a JPeg file" "What is RAM stand for" "How does an optical mouse work" so my wife for a laugh decided to apply with my help with the terms! SHE GOT THE JOB!!!!! But then turned it down cos she doesnt like games! I was gutted i hadnt tried myself, thinking hundreds would try to get a job playing games all day! The company was Rockstar Studios and they produced and needed her to test the Grand Theft Auto 3 Game before release.

I agree, it should have its own category, I play online ut2004 every evening, and even though you never find out people's real names or ages, the inter game banter is great fun, and its a good method of stress relief.

another gamer here albeit an ageing one !

i play medal of honor online via pc almost every night.

due to my kids we also have  2 ps2's and 3 xbox's !

im excited at the xbox 360 but dont get too excited for november as i fear that will be u.s. only.

japan arent getting it until december and as far as im aware a firm date for europe is still unconfirmed.

also dont rush in as rumours are flying all over the place that ps3 is twice as fast as xbox 360(but will surely cost more ?) but ati who provide the gfx chipset for the 360 say it will outpace ps3 so wait and see would be my advice.
