Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Idea

So I was finally moving all my original XBOX games, on goozex, from my stash to my queue for trading. This is something that I've been deliberately not doing for some time.

When I think about the sheer amount of hours I put into some of those game like HALO, Project Gotham Racing 2, Rainbow Six 3 and Morrowind it makes me sad to think about getting rid of them. I feel a sentimental attachment to them all. They are my games and I love them all.

While moving them I realized I can still easily play these games on PC! It sounds stupid to have such an obvious revelation, but to a near lifer console player it's still a novel idea.

Anyways, I started digging around and looked up the original HALO on PC and realized that match making exists online for it! Match making and the astoundingly good coop for Rainbow Six 3 works as well!

Since neither of these games are at all playable online in any fashion on consoles I'm going to get them both on PC.

I'll be posting reviews and impressions as they come along, but was just excited to give these games another run and see if they are up to snuff on PC.

Rainbow Six is already confirmed for trade on goozex. Let me know if anyone wants to play!

  1. A lot of older games will run on most cheap PCs and you may still find some people playing the multiplayer online. BF2 still has a HUGE mp following and it's over 5 years old now I think. I played Halo on PC but I don't think I have it anymore.

  2. I HAD Halo on PC... can't find the disc.
