Uncharted and Gears are hard to beat.

But soriku has a point, Eternal Sonata is like a damn hand drawn cartoon, and it's very purty. Tales of Vesperia will be the same way.

Assassin's Creed's draw distance is unrivaled on consoles. That game is still up high on my list.

The correct answer is Crysis. You fail, "PC doesn't count" whiners.

The PC always counts when it supports the argument in question (more storage space is better! Wii's technical limitations are bad! PC/PS3/360 platform is more viable than the Wii because it can be treated as a single platform!), but the second it becomes unpalatable to include the PC (such as in graphics/tech discussions), suddenly it's unfair to include it anymore.

The 360 and PS3 are repackaged PCs. You're all playing games I played on the PC five years ago. It's System Shock, not Bioshock; Baldur's Gate, not Mass Effect; Grand Theft Auto I, not Grand Theft Auto IV; Morrowind, not Oblivion; Doom/Half Life, not Halo. The "traditional" console genres that drove the industry in years past are no longer driving the PS3 or 360; JRPG, Platformer, Adventure, Action.

Ugh, this argument makes me so very, very angry as a PC Gamer. I hear this argument all the time: the Wii is missing important features of the PS3 and 360 like integrated and fleshed out online functionality, HD graphics, and more features like DVD/Blu Ray playback! Who cares if the Wii is cheaper, it's inferior techology. And I largely agree, most of the complaints are valid. And that's fine. But the exact same arguments could be made comparing the PS3 and 360 to the PC; the PC has a ton more storage space, even better online functionality, more customizability, even more features like word processing and millions of other applications, and even better graphics and tech. Who cares if the PS3 and 360 are cheaper, they're inferior technology. Right? Apparently not --  the PC only counts in this discussion when it suits the argument at hand.

Do not ignore the PC. Okay? I'm done venting.

Haha...PC games can count I think. But we should only count the games that can run on systems with same specs as 360/ps3. :P

If a PC game needs more than 512 of ram...forget it...

Alright, that's no problem. Then how about we don't count any PS3/360 games that can't run on the Wii?

As long as we're being consistent, I don't care what rule we apply.

But surely PCs have an advantage in that they can upgrade on a regular basis, whereas consoles are limited in that respect

You CAN upgrade your PS3 -- your Hard Drive can be upgraded all the time. It's just less upgradeable than a typical PC. The same is true of the Wii: it can be upgraded slightly (you can get a new monitor/TV), but it's not as upgradeable as the PS3 or 360.

Here is the list of things you can upgrade on a typical PC:

1) GPU
2) CPU
3) Motherboard
4) HDD
5) PSU
6) RAM
7) Monitor (or TV)
8) I/O devices

A few things you cannot upgrade:

1) Capacitors
2) Diodes
3) PCI ports

Among others. Here is the list of things you can upgrade on a PS3 or 360:

1) HDD
2) Monitor (or TV)
3) I/O devices

A few things you cannot upgrade:

1) PSU
2) RAM

4) Diodes

Among others. Here are the things that you can upgrade on a Wii:

1) Monitor
2) I/O Devices

A few things you cannot upgrade:

1) HDD
2) RAM
3) Capacitors
4) Diodes

Among others. It's the exact same thing, just further down the line. The typical PC is more customizable than the typical PS3/360 which are more customizable than the Wii. The PS3/360 are clearly intending to be more like the PC -- and that's fine. But if you want to be more like the PC, then you're also going to have to stomach comparisons to the PC. It's not fair to make systems that move closer and closer to PC design (so much closer that we begin to refer to the PC/PS3/360 "platform" in singular) but then insist that it's not fair to be compared to the PC.

In short, most people who own PS3s and 360s seem to LIKE the fact that these systems are much more comparable to PCs these days. And they are more comparable. But if you're going to compare the platforms when it's favorable to you, you also have to compare them when it isn't favorable to you. I'm just so, so sick and tired of the PC being included in these discussions only when it favors the PS3 and 360 to have it included.
