I am, primarily, a PC gamer, locked onto my platform of choice by parents who were reluctant to buy me a console but couldn't resist my pleas for a laptop. You know, for school. The result is that I've always found it hard to make time for console gaming –and that's exactly why I'm planning to pick up a Project Q, the cloud-based PlayStation handheld that Sony unveiled at its recent showcase.
For all my PC heritage, I love a big console game. For their faults, there is nothing quite like a massive, AAA RPG, and there are times where I simply crave a big world, a huge story, a real blockbuster gaming experience. Yet the number of these games that I actually play remains weirdly low. Time and cost are factors – I don't necessarily want to drop $60 on a new game, nor do I always have 40+ hours to sink into them – but the biggest obstacle is myself.
