Hmm... I agree with you on the whole gameplay vs graphics thing... Didn't play Descent, but I played Freespace, which ran on the same engine as Descent II I think... anyways... I don't play shooters cause they suck... except half-life... which was cool... If you buy each of them... Don't think I'll be spending a single dollar on a PC game that I don't even know if it's good or not I doubt it... Actually I'd love to have a Wii... but I don't want to spend money on that now... maybe in a few years when they'll be cheap Everyone cracks them Anyways... I just played Simcity 4... and I'm happy I can run it smoothly now... Sure lots of games require lot of graphic ressources, but all that eye candy usually makes the game much more immersive... ...kinda replied to some parts in random order... tired now... sleep... and I won't buy a ps3, i hate sony, their games suck and I won't buy a xbox, I already have a computer, don't need another one
