I am a PC gamer, and have only ever consoled on LCDs (for obvious reasons). All I can say is that everyone on these forums who has gamed on a plasma loves it and says it's better than on LCD.
Obviously not saying LCD won't be better or that it is not great, but from a price point, I'm quite confident plasma will win in terms of quality.
That said, there have been relatively few people commenting on plasma gaming (because most hardcore gamers are worried about image burn-in, as I alluded to above).
From a logical point of view it would make sense that plasma would be better - especially because of the size, faster response time and wide viewing angle - as well as due to better blacks and colours at the same price point.
Image burn-in will be in the back of your mind if you play games for many hours with HUDs and few cut scenes/cinematics (which would otherwise "refresh" the plasma cells displaying the static HUD). After the plasma break-in phase, your chances these days of image burn-in are very low, especially if you use a lower light/brightness setting.
As you may have read, I've had the past three cricket test matches on for 10+ hours a day for 15 days, and the screen had a green/yellow opaque "info bar" running across the entire button horizontal of the screen. I had no image retention.
I guess its not really the end of the world anyway, will keep my LCD in the lounge for gaming and smash the plasma in the bedroom where all the viewing happens
Probably best to avoid intense gaming on it.
