The Boot Camp partition is reserved primarily for City of Heroes, the comic book themed MMORPG. It runs great, but newer games I can tell (such as Crysis) would make the processor cry, which is why I'm currently speccing out a real gaming rig. As far as games being played on the XBox 360 this holiday, two words: Mass Effect. I bought that game 3 days ago, and I've already logged almost 20 hours on it. It may not sound like much to a hardcore gamer, but I'm a 31-year-old man with a full-time job and other commitments. I haven't played a game that much in years. Other titles vying for my attention include Assassin's Creed and Halo 3, which were both purchased two weeks ago. The PS3 is currently serving primarily as a linux-based media center for me, but I bought it to play Heavenly Sword and Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction. I beat R&C after fairly obsessive play (though nothing compared to ME), and I'm halfway through HS, but stuck on a boss. Crysis looks sick, but I don't get all that hot and bothered for FPS games, though I will be getting Unreal Tournament 3 when I get my new rig together. But that's mostly for nostalgia.

Removing the partition using Boot Camp Assistant is only a click away though. I'm not sure how games like Crysis would perform on the MBP but I've played both FIFA 08 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, both graphics-intensive soccer games, on my 20" cinema display in Vista and they've run very smoothly.

That and gaming on a MBP will melt it and it's not like it can power my external LCD with any good framerates. Better off just building a PC if I went that route.

The trouble is, most of us can't afford to pay $900+ to own all three systems, let alone shell out $50-$60 for the latest and greatest games...that's a pretty hefty investment. If you like first-party Nintendo franchises, get a Wii. Mario (Galaxy is a masterpiece; finally beat it this past weekend), Zelda, and Metroid are probably the best 3 current releases, and Smash Bros and Mario Kart (and possibly Animal Crossing) will most likely do the same in 2008. Wii Fit will also sell like hotcakes. I hear you about Mac games too - there seems to be some untapped potential there. Not necessarily the most realistic, graphic-intensive stuff. But maybe something that plays up the creative DIY factor of most Apple software. We'll see. All three current-gen home consoles provide great interactive entertainment.

The Wii loses its appeal (at least it did for me) after a few months. Developers aren't making great use of the motion sensing controller at this point in time. There seems to only be a handful of titles where this isn't the case. The 360 is the only console I own at the moment (the comments above regarding the Wii come from having hands on time with the console I bought my boyfriend) but the Playstation 3 does look interesting - just too expensive for me. Xbox Live is an amazing addition to gaming, and I can't imagine owning a console without it. You should really get back into your PC gaming, even if it is to play through Call of Duty 4 once - it would definitely be worth it :) Aww Paul, I guarantee if you got a 360 you’d love it!

In fact i believe that my time spending online is actually constructive and somewhat draws me into an active feeling. TV and games, on the other hand are way too passive habits to make me feel good.

I know you've gone through a couple close calls and nearly fallen prey to the hype. One of these days! I have all three current gen consoles, but the vast majority of my gaming time is spent on the Xbox 360. Currently, I'm playing lots of Halo 3 multiplayer with my wife and daughter. Played through Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty 4 in the past few weeks and really enjoyed both of those (as you've seen on my blog). I've got quite a list of games to get to that I didn't have time for when they were released, but for now I'm hoping to get more time in with Halo 3 MP, Team Fortress 2 and Warhawk when it receives an update and some DLC love later this month. Unreal Tournament 3 is also being released within the next 2 weeks for the PS3, and I've already got it pre-ordered. So it looks like lots of FPS action for this guy. After Christmas that will change, as I'm planning to pick up Super Mario Galaxy then and most likely Tomb Raider Anniversary. It's still feels strange maintaining a gaming schedule, but with so many great titles out this year, I really had to.

I also own a PS3 which gets more use as a Blu-ray player more than anything. But after seeing the play and graphics of Uncharted Drake's....I'm pretty sure I'll be hooked on that soon. Right now I'm playing Assassin's Creed . For some reason, I have zero interest in the Wii. It seems like the type of console that it is really only good when you have a group of people. Plus I'm really big on graphics and the Wii just doesn't cut it when compared to my 360 and PS3. Even though there are reliability issues with the 360 (I just sent mine in last month), I still believe it’s the best console out today as far as games. I also own a PS3 which gets more use as a Blu-ray player more than anything. But after seeing the play and graphics of Uncharted Drake’s….I’m pretty sure I’ll be hooked on that soon. Right now I’m playing Assassin’s Creed .

For some reason, I have zero interest in the Wii. It seems like the type of console that it is really only good when you have a group of people. Plus I’m really big on graphics and the Wii just doesn’t cut it when compared to my 360 and PS3.

I have to say that the Wii is brilliant - more from a what it can do perspective than any particular game, it is just such a great concept!
