I'm still trying to put together a hardware selection for a HTPC. The foremost reasons I wanted to put some powerful hardware in it was to be able to play 3D games on it.
But coming to think of it, the only reason why I would want to play games on a HTPC in the living room instead of on my tower PC is to play local multiplayer games with friends. Are there a lot of PC games that offer local multiplayer with splitscreen? I can't think of any (not a hardcore gamer :wink: ) If not, I'm going to consider downgrading the hardware needs (and cost) for my future HTPC to only use it for MP (TV, DVD, audio).
