Depends. Some genres just work so much better on pc, like rpg's, rts etc. But i think actiion games like god of war and shit work better on console. And console gamers are important to the gaming industry. Without them, we wouldnt have the advancements we do now. Where do you think most companies get their money?
That's what I mean't, I mean except for the few rare exceptions (Batman Arkham games...) most action games or console oriented games are meant to be played once and stored on the shelves never to be touched again. If you take also the Splinter Cell or Assassin Creed franchise, I much prefer playing them with keyboard and mouse. But yeah, even if the console hrdware itself is bult to last, companies know that the more they sell games the more money they make since they basically loose money with the console sells (cost of materials, production...).
Console games aren't responsible for the "dumbing down" of games. We have a golden age of gaming, where gamers don't get picked on anymore, because everyone plays them. And because everyone plays them, from hipsters to my grandmother, games have to be made more accessible. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way, because the more people who play games, the less hassle they'll get from the media. When the next generation comes into power, we'll have no problems with games getting banned. We'll have no problems with sex scenes, or obsessive violence, because gens x and y know that video games are just entertainment, much like film. And I don't know about you, but with a exceptions, a controller is better than a mouse every time. If you say other wise, then I know you're just a fanboy, trying to look cool for the other pc gamers. So get your head out of your ass. We know you enjoy these "dumbed down" games. You play them, and enjoy them. And when a more complex game comes along, its amazing, but simple games still have their place. Sometime I just want to sit down and have fun, and not have to think about my strategy 10 turns in advance. What's wring with that?

Just finished the new Tomb Raider. Probably can't make fair comparisons since it's the only TR I've ever played, but I loved it.
Also, playing RAGE. Too early to tell. Probably should get it on the PC instead of the Xbox.
I've been meaning to play that for a while, but I still haven't... Last week it came out on Xbox Live Arcade, and I've been thinking about downloading it. I am a fan of the older Tomb Raider games, but I know this new one is meant to be quite a bit different.

I'm surprisingly not that excited for Thief. I think it's because there's no third person now (unless I'm mistaken) but after seeing the preview gameplay footage I have a feeling it'll be quite superficial and watered down with the slow-mo and focus abilities; basically being hand fed as you go through. And the art style looks a bit drab. Just a feeling really.

Well, like I said, I haven't played the others so I can't compare. From what I hear it's a hell of a lot darker and edgier and more realistic in comparison. But try it out, it's really good otherwise.
Try not to die, though. You will regret it.
On an unrelated note: I just saw the trailer for the new Mirror's Edge.
Ohmygod, I can't...
It looks so beautiful!

I can definitely see where you're coming from. Thief 4 looks all... glossy and cinematic (which is not at all the direction I wanted them to take). Also, didn't like their idea of ditching Stephen Russell (the original voice actor of Garrett), for me that's more or less a step backwards. Then again, the whole series is such a colossal hit for me that I'll keep those qualms bottled up for now. Yeah, I'm a pretty big fan boy.

I think my feelings on this are partially being reflected from my experience with Dishonored, which I realise now was a huge let down. Just had the most stealth-lite feel to it. Can't help but think Thief 4 might end up like that. Fingers crossed it doesn't as I love stealth games when done right.

If you separated those two words and it was a year before 2003 and they were two separate companies again I'd be inspired with far more confidence
