XBOX

[moman]

I have been reading reviews for games on this site for a long time and through that time ive noticed a trend and that is there is more coverage of the xbox than other consoles, i can only remmber one game which was a console only game that was reviewed which was not for the xbox and that was for gamecube i cant even remmber any ps2 games being reviewed. Now if the xbox was the most popular console i could understand to an extent but this is not the case. Now i have nothing agianst the xbox or any other consle for that matter
but i think this is unfair also i personaly always thought of tomshardware as a place for mainly pc games and i much rather have seen a review of mohpa (which i have been intrested in since your wrote about its physic engine in the Post-E3 Gaming Explosion article) than halo2.
Now its fair to say halo2 is more popular so you decided to cover that instead but so are many other games(eg: gta:san andreas)and they were never covered.
I look forward to an explanation and like to say sorry in advance if any of my presumptions turn out to be false.

I think the reason toms covers Xbox and PC games is because the Xbox is very close to being an affordable integrated computer designed to run only games. Its graphics processor is Nvidia, it has a Pentium 3 cpu, and its made by microsoft which has a monopoly(did I say monopoly? I meant really really big marke share) on OS's currently. And alot of the Xbox games are either ported over to the PC or ported from the PC over to Xbox. You don't see hardly any titles ported over from PC to GameCube or PS2. That is probably why. Remember that there is also a Halo for PC which was improved over the xbox Halo, and he does reviews of the game on both systems. So they kina go hand in hand more so than other consoles.
