Because some of the best games (IMHO) are for the PC only such as Age of
Empires, or oldies like Master of Orion. I have a Dreamcast, PSX, and even
an old Atari 2600 because some games are best played on a console, while
other are better (or only found) on a PC. have you ever tried to play Quake
or Unreal Tournament with a gamepad instead of a keyboard and mouse?

come to me and

school work, email, AIM, and games. As soon as they say games, I tell
them to get a Windows PC.
Games? I'd say buy a PS2 or gamecube.
Or, to be a bit more classic, a Saturn, NeoGeo, or TG16.
Why screw up your computer choice for games when a seperate game box is
only $50-$150 (depending on which one and how you feel about
referbished).
