Help With Gaming Article

[Guest]

Hey guys, this is dickdalewood's girlfriend. I am writing an article for my journalism class about online gaming, and was wondering if any of you would be willing to answer any of the questions I'll post on here. If you do want to answer any of them, I just need your name and where you're from...and you can send dickdalewood a private message if you prefer.

The questions are:

1. What are your expectations for a new release game with online capabilities?
2. How often does it reflect your decisions on what game you will or won't purchase? Any examples of games would be great.
3. What would you like to see in the future for online gaming?
4. What system do you prefer for playing online? And why?

Thanks for your help!!!!!!

1. No lag online for one. That is the most important thing to me. Plus getting together and playing easily with others.

2. Online only games I do not purchase. Especially if it is $60. IMO online is just extra to the game itself. Example would be Shadowrun.

3. Not sure. Never really thought about it.

4. I like playing on the 360 because of Live. Live IMO runs much beter than PSN.
