		<description>To be honest, in my opinion, the best cheap gaming platform is still the PC, with cheap games suitable for any audience, here are just a few unordered games from amazon.

Please comment, I would love to hear other opinions, what do you think Barry

1. Crysis, Amazing Graphics, Long storyline, Inventive - £8 

2. Tomb Raider Underworld, Fun adventure game, family friendly, various skills - £7 

3. Mirrors Edge, Creative, immersive - £9 

And some others
   Sega Rally - £4
   Track Mania United Forever - £5
   Need for speed Carbon - £6
   UT3 - £7.50

These are just some of the 1,400 odd PC games under £10 on amazon, all of mine listed including Delivery.

We are also forgetting the fact that many games are now free, including
  Combat Arms
  Warrock
   Track Mania Nations Forever
And many more

These, coupled with today&#039;s ridiculously cheap PC&#039;s from Dell, Mesh, and those custom made oersonally, for me is the golden age of gaming

And you can plug a PC into your TV, or large monitor, and have true gaming.

After all which would you rather, popping endless bubbles on an ipod or other media device, or being immersed in the jungles in crysis, running walls in Mirror&#039;s Edge, or taking awsome jumps in Track Mania.

I know which I would rather.</description>

		<description>The problem is, a lot of the games (and apps in general) aren&#039;t worth their 79c or 99c though. :(

I&#039;ve tried a few, usually trying the lite versions, before splashing on the full thing. GloBall is the only one that was really worth the money, although I&#039;ve bought Paper Toss World Tour - a bit more diversity than the free version, but not worth the money on consideration, ...

I think I&#039;ve downloaded maybe 30 games since I got my iPod Touch and about 4 of them were good enough to stay on my machine.</description>

		<description>No iPhone is complete without Peggle, FieldRunners and Word Warp. So I disagree with Mr Guardian man.

I thoroughly agree with Barry though, I play more games on my phone now than on my PC, and think nothing of buying a £2.99 game on a whim, knowing it&#039;ll while away my commute. It doesn&#039;t feel like spending real money, which is a tad worrying.</description>

		<description>&quot;The most expensive on his list was Worms at £2.99.&quot;
Err, &quot;5. Beatmaker (£11.99)&quot;

But heck, still cheap really.</description>
