Online gaming isn't a new thing. PC gamers have used it for years. However, it has just recently been simplified so that the mainstream can use it. Most people would say that Xbox live is the best way to game online. I fully agree. Xbox live makes it easy to play with who you want anytime that you want. The only downside is the monthly fee; Microsoft is the only gaming company charging for a pointless price to play on the web. They already make enough money on consoles and games. The only reason for this is to make more money. I apologize if I offended you Microsoft, because you are allowing me to make this website. In other news, Nintendo has the worst online play. How are friend codes helping anyone? They just hurt the experience. Oh, and with no voice chat on the Wii, it's just like playing with genius AI. That's something that you can do on the Xbox 360 without a monthly fee. I don't own a PS3, so I can't comment on its online. I can however say that PC online is the most basic if you don't have Vista. If you have it (I don't) then some games will play just as if they were on Xbox Live. Things were a lot simpler for people back in the N64 days. People didn't even care about online play if it wasn't on a PC (not even then really.) They just wanted a good, fun, graphically awesome game.
