PORTAL 2 gives you more real experience

But anyone who appreciates a bit of narrative, creativity or even comfort will tell you that great gaming isnt always about raw power and magic graphics.

We want an experience that hits the spot in every way and, while a PC will turn out the technical champion every time, if you ask us, some games just dont quite fit the desktop set up.The following are games that top traditionally PC genres. These days, however, more and more gamers are opting for the comfortable, quick set-up, bitesized offering consoles offer.

We prefer to play these games slouched on the sofa, on a machine that has simple matchmaking mechanics and a pop-in-and-play at the heart.Tell us what you think of our picks, and which games send make you lean towards your console.

Unit last years E3 when Gabe Newell took to the Sony stage and announced a shock PlayStation partnership, Valve was a Microsoft developer. Considering the importance and prominence of Steam you could even go as far as saying Valve is a PC developer at heart.

But Portal, as an experience just feels better on console. The nature of the platform puzzler means that PC play just isnt for us.

Weve spent a good 15 minutes at times just starting into one of Aperture Sciences test rooms trying to figure out where to put our next portal (Youtube is cheating). If we were to play Portal at our desk wed develop serious spinal issues.

For Portal 2 we wanted a sofa, a beanbag, a waterbed, something that we can have a good comfortable think in.

Plus, if you look towards the PS3 for your Portal 2 experience you get all the benefits of Steam anyway, plus you can still connect with PC players. Remind them to stop every half hour to stretch out their spines, wont you?

The wastelands of Fallout 3 make up a world that you simply have to just explore, absorb and get lost in. We cant do that hunched in front of our desktops.

Plus the game is incredibly vast. Think of all the time you spend just walking from one destination to the next, exploring derelict supermarkets that may or may not contain something of more worth than a stimpak.

Taking on a few side-quests along can quickly eat up a couple of hours. All in all youre looking at a total gaming time anywhere between 20 and 50 hours depending on how much of a completist you are.

Put your feet up, son. Youre in this for the long-haul.
