Personally, i have been always a pc gamer since i had my computer. For the past months, i guess there is really no great games coming out. And with even just 1 game can't even reach 60+ frames per second *crysis. 2 generations of Nvidia cards can't handle the pressure.

2 years ago, it was the other way around, i saw gaming was really getting the right recognition, i guess piracy was the culprit. What do you think guys?

I think there are too many 'clones' of successful games and not enough unique games coming out. Some of the best games were old ones.

I've been playing CoV lately (on weekends) and have been having fun.

I go to the stores to look at the games and I almost always come away disappointed because it doesn't seem like anything new or interesting has been made. That said, I'm looking forward to Spore.

Yes, right now, i think there is nothing to look forward to. I had a blast with Bioshock, Half-life 2 Episodes, Battlefield 2. Now it seems there is nothing great ATM, i would surely hope something better will come along.

I still play Counterstrike, NFS 2 Underground and Dungeon SIege a little bit... I can't run much better on my laptop. Computer Gaming "dying" is quite a stretch... its still a multi million dollar industry easily.

i have been playing start craft for 18 years.....

Im still playing some computer games like pizza frenzy, fish feeding and all of them is yahoo games.

before I used to play diablo and diablo expansion which i consider one of the greatest pc games in my list, but now pc games aren't good at all!

I haven't been into PC games since AOE 3. I don't think it's dying, just in a lull I think most people are into their PS3s now, the graphics on that are impressive.

Like people say - it's all to do with computer hardware... soon most new computers will be able to handle the really hard-out games! When that happens better games will be released and then the gaming will begin

All i see today that remains are MMO's. I would really hope that it would get the industry cough up some great games. Although even Valve ( the company that made Half-Life Series) jumped to being multiplatform, i would wait till pc gaming would be better as compared to its present state.

I think pc gaming will not die. As soon as there are programmers, computers and companies who are going to provide some good games. There are a lot of online and lan games who rocks the world of computers today.

There are several games I like to play on the PC once I have free time for that. But my favorite one is NFS.

The problem with computer games is that when a new game is released the system requirements are insane so if you want to play it you have to invest some money into your PC to make it run that game. This is stressful. Good games are available now on consoles like PS3 or Xbox 360. I have a good pc system but when it comes to crysis or assassin's creed it's no good. So i bought a XBOX 360 and I am very happy. To bad I have little time to play ...

Well said. I do have problems with constant upgrades. Most of the time, its the video card that needs it. It all adds up to the demise of this platform.

Hardware is biggest issue....we can not afford high end system only for gaming

Nowadays it is all online gaming, PC standalone games are dead, but those that can connect to the Internet for online gaming will remain as popular as ever.

I had my share of fun back in the days. I enjoyed playing Battlefied 2 online for months on end. Also with local servers, i used to play source too.

I agree that the massive multi player games have taken the lead from the standalone games but even the big hitters are feeling the heat now...Sony Entertainment's EQ has died out, WoW is trying to keep things from slipping and some of the besy FPS servers are totally empty.

Tough business...I was very happy to purchase Sid Meier's Pirates (re-released) and have been playing it since! so much for "online" Standalone is not dead IMO.

i think the offline pc gaming is slowly getting out of fashion, with some fps not getting any attention right now. Yes online games are really great.


For now, i don't like the new ones like age of conan, i think it was a overhyped game with no good visuals, id like to keep waiting then
