I'm in a dilemma. I don't know whether to get these games for either 360 or PC. Here's what I do: Get any multi-console game on 360 (I've had it longer and prefer it just a tiny bit over the PS3, plus I'm an achievement whore) and get any PS3 exlusive on the PS3 obviously. Which is kind of funny too, because both of my PS3 games (Burnout Paradise and GTA IV) are multi-console games..

However, for certain games, I don't know what would be better...using a M/KB or using a Controller? Yes I realize I can use the 360 controller with a PC, but I 1) cba to go buy the adapter and don't wanna waste the money on it 2) I'm always sketchy as to whether my PC will handle some games, regardless of the fact that it's got some decent specs.

So, here are the games:

Call of Duty: World at War (360 or PC?)
DC Universe Online (PS3 or PC?)
Quantum of Solace (360 or PC?)
Far Cry 2 (360 or PC?)
Fallout 3 (360 or PC?)
Tom Clancy's EndWar (360 or wait until Feb. 2009 for PC?)*

*EndWar will use voice commands, so it's not like it's necessary to have a M/KB.

Any useful input will recieve karma. Thanks.

I dunno man, I had CoD4 for the 360 and didn't like it. I actually really regret not getting it on PC.

COD4 is far better on PC, 360 version is cruddy in comparsion, I hate playing it on 360, nothing feels right about it. well that and 360 owners paid for maps I got free

DC universe on ps3 is going to be a joke.

FC2, Fallout 3, and CoD5 are shooters so go PC,

Endwar may use voice commands but it's still an RTS

and I don't know shit about quantum of solace.

Depending on your system specs, it might be better (performance wise) to get far cry 2 for 360.

Yeah, I didn't really think of that actually. Probably a good idea.

I heard from some Clan buddies that Far Cry 2 is going to be epic, and incredibly detailed, meaning it's graphically intense, thus straining your system.

My rule of thumb: If I don't think the game will play well on my PC (troubles, low quality, etc.), then I buy it for PS3/360. It really depends if I'm in the mood for a long install, fiddling with multiple discs, getting patches, solving issues, etc., or if I feel like a "pop it in and play" sort of mood.

Seems to work out well, TBH.

It's a post-apocalyptic game based in Washington DC...and it's an RPG...what's not to like?

Get it on PC.

Easy rule of thumb: if its a game, get it for the PC...

Really, any shooter should be for the PC unless you prefer the multiplayer component on the Xbox 360, and the same for RTSs.

Thus...

Call of Duty: World at War - PC
DC Universe Online - PS3
Quantum of Solace - PC
Far Cry 2 - PC
Fallout 3 - PC
Tom Clancy's EndWar - Wait for reviews to see how useful the voice system is, but leaning PC

Eh...I have some bias, it seems. But really, you mostly picked games which would be more enjoyable on the PC.

Psh. I love the Call of Duty series. 2 was badass. 3 kinda sucked, but I've got faith in Treyarch.

Which is why I'm also getting Quantum of Solace.

I'm good with both M&K and gamepads.

It just plays better on the 360.

example- online its waay overcrowded for every map on the PC.

6v6 is the maximum size for practically every gamemode on the 360, and you never get problems with spam, too many airstrikes, helis etc. Also, due to the limited size, you really really see some good teamwork and individual skill coming out.
