Larry I really can't comment on console games as I don't play them but from what friends who did have told me I would have been disappointed in them. They say todays consoles are way better than the old ones so maybe now they can come close to the PC games. However I already have two PC's so I'm not spending $$$$$ on a console too.

Mike,The consol prices is about the same as some HO locomotives and both offers hours of play value.Video games can be had for the same price as a quality freight car unless you do like I do and buy use games at the fraction of the cost.
The graphics is about the same between computer and newer PS4 and Xbox 1..I know my son keeps telling me the computer graphics is better then either system but,I can't see it but,what do you expect out of a Play Station fanboy? as my grandson calls me.

Mike, A lot of RPGs has very deep depth in their story line with twist and turns and like Final Fantasy 10 and 12.Dragon Age Origins has several twists and turns as the story line unfolds.
My passion for roll playing gaming started with a innocent game of Final Fantasy 1 on my son's NES back in '90 ..Curse or a second hobby? :o

I have this game on my iPad because of my two sons and I have become seriously addicted to it. It has two modes, survival, and creative. I feel creative is pretty much cheating because you don't have to earn anything or avoid monsters to stay alive. Survival is much more interesting as you have to earn items and slowly add them to your inventory. Once you find the resources, you can pretty much build whatever you can imagine. My wife says it appeals to something in the male psyche similar to my addiction to trains.

I never did go for it ...stuck, hopelessly, in Grand Theft Auto 4 & 5 as well as Red Dead Redemption on PS3 .

My 11 year old son used to love it, but have to say that he doesn't play it as often as he used to, instead spending most of his time on football (that's Soccer to our USA friends) games such as FIFA, and the occasional hour on 'Grand Theft Auto, in which he prefers to just drive through the town in a variety of cars, not really playing the game.
When I was a kid, I did play games on computers, having had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, and then later an MSX computer. Then in 1991, I discovered Macintosh, and that was it.... Not looked back ever since, although at work I use windows, but only because I have to....
Most of my teen spare time however, I used to spent with model trains, sports, and playing music on my stereo. :-)
