You could be a heroic hunter by expecting to fight against evil monsters or the fastest F1 driver around .In the world of computer games, nothing is impossible.

   If you’re into computer games, E3 is where you can find the most up-to-date equipment．For both gamers and companies, the Electronic Entertainment Expo （E3）, held in Los Angeles, US, for three days from May 10, was a carnival （狂欢节）.

   The top three computer game manufacturers （生产商） in the world all showed off their new machines. Nintendo’s （任天堂） new game controller looks as easy to use as a TV remote.

   Sony’s PlayStation 3 combines the world’s most powerful game console （游戏机） with a next-generation DVD player.

   Microsoft’s Xbox 360 can connect to personal computers （PC．and cell phones, so users can transfer game content among the three systems.

   PC VS Console

   The E3 also had new games for both PCs and consoles such as the Xbox or PlayStation. Gamers will again be faced with the long—existing problem of which system to use.

   Some analysts have suggested that PC gaming has seen its day, since console players have made great advances. 

   Further, compared with a PC, a console is cheap. The average price of the PlayStation and the Xbox is only one-third of that of a personal computer.

   One of the biggest advantages the PC has over consoles is that there are a lot more games available, plus many are free to download. PCs also give gamers a variety of ways to connect to the Internet, and to one another.

    However, many consoles now support online games as well. It seems that as long as people can be dragon（龙）hunters or crazy drivers, it doesn’t matter whether it is on a PC or a console.
