With PC gaming’s minimum requirements getting a boost, that also mean that computer hardware is soon to gain a lot more power for a lot less $$$. 😉

I love Assassin’s Creed on the Wii U, I bet the graphics on the computer are way better though. Maybe, I’ll have my brother build me a pc so I can play this one. I don’t want to miss out!
Hey Briona!
Assassin’s Creed is awesome and looks amazing on a gaming PC! Have your brother take a look at the different budgets when you’re ready to join the PC gaming community! 🙂

It’s just crazy how this industry keeps upping the ante. These games are great but keeping up with the tech can be a nightmare.
I think I’ll stick with space invaders 😛
Right Ray? It’s crazy but exciting at the same time! 🙂 Space Invaders is an awesome classic!
