As does the PC just as well. In fact more so at times on the PC. Don't get me wrong I am still warming up to the idea of gaming on console and would consider myself a multi platform gamer nowadays. That said, with the ease of Steam and a pretty decent voice client it actually can be as good if not better.

If I fancy a games night with my buds then we can all sit there talking about what we want on vent. Sometimes 5 sometimes 10 sometimes 20 of us. We all don't have to be playing games either to enjoy the social aspect of it. Then when you add Steam into the equation, we can all switch from Call of Duty 4 (Better on the PC multiplayer than console - FACT !!!) to Company of Heroes to Grid etc etc etc. The only thing that is missing is the achievements that XBL offers. But as were not achievement whores it's a moot point anyway. Better yet we don't even have to change a CD/DVD in the process. So to suggest that XBL destroys anything that the PC has to offer isn't necessarily correct.

Personally I have tried shooters on the PS1, PS2 & now the PS3 as well Xbox and I must say it's a more enjoyable experience for me at least on PC by any shadow of a doubt
