GameZone - Five Issues With PC Gaming.
Personally, my biggest pet peeve with the PC is the lack of split-screen multiplayer.

Koku Gamer - Sony and Their Perpetual Hole. Thanks Joker961.
Sony has been digging this perpetual hole for itself since it released the PS3. They are probably the company with least amount of concern for the gamer and their relentless self-promoting and attempted cash-cows have cost them a lot this generation, especially considering the PS2 was a juggernaut last generation for doing almost the opposite of what Sony is doing now. One can only wonder what the executives at Sony are thinking when they make these business decisions and I can only say, thank God that platform has managed to get some really great games on it brought to them by third-parties or this could have very well been the end of the PlayStation.

Then there is games like Singularity, which shows zero signs of PC testing with it's texture bug, and I believe there is no patch yet.

Incorrect. Activision recently released a patch.

Another thing, tried to play Kane and Lynch 2 on my laptop, after about a minute of TERRIBLE performance, I get a bluescreen. Not fun to experience at all.

How crappy is your laptop?

Conviction is another example. Mouse lag so terrible, performance with no optimization, and the need to always be online.

Aren't all these things all true of the X360 version? At least on PC, you can ramp up the AA and it likely still runs better than the 360 version.

Back on topic, the article writer complains that PC doesn't have any "killer-apps." Would Starcraft 2, Diablo 3 and maybe even WoW be considered "killer-apps," given their current (or inevitable) popularity?
