Every game on that list that I want is multi-platform. The only exclusive there that interests me is Halo Wars.

No interest in Star Ocean 4 at all ?

Also many gamers only have a 360, and many of those games are are either on PC or PS3, so you would have to buy both a PC and a PS3 to play them, when you can have them all on 360 with just one system and the lowest price imaginable

 

"He is lost in silence...he can not hear our music" ... familiar ? Mass Effect 2 rings a bell? It`s in winter 2009 and a massive game. Don`t tell me it will be on Pc because you don`t know. Want to play Alan Wake on the Pc? Please do...install Vista and play...no? I thought so.

Star Ocean 4 ? Race Pro ? Halo Wars ? Forza 3 ? Ninja Blade ? Halo Chronicles ? New Rare game? Nothing interesting?

Oh well...move along people,nothing to see here...

 

I'm not a big fan of modern JRPGs, especially SE. So no, I'm not interested in SO4... at all. The first Mass Effect was good despite its flaws but the sequel will make it to the PC sooner or later. Race Pro and Forza 3? I hate most racing games, especially racing sims. Halo Wars looks good but I'm always skeptical as to how an RTS will turn out on a console due to the limited controls. Ninja Blade? From Software has hardly blown me away in the past. Rare, they hardly produce system sellers. I'm dismissive of the 360's library because it simply isn't very impressive. It being perceived as being superior to that of the PS3 is hardly an accomplishment. Compare that list what I want for the PC this year:

Battle Forge
Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams
Borderlands
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
Dawn of War II
Empire: Total War
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
Operation Flashpoint 2: Dragon Rising
Prototype
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.

I was hardly being thorough when I compiled this list, I could probably find more.

Edit: Here are a few that I just added to my wishlist after browsing a single site.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment
World in Conflict: Soviet Assault
Diablo 3
Storm of War: Battle of Britain
Gish 2
They Hunger: Lost Souls
Dragon Age
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Zeno Clash
Alpha Protocol
Stormrise
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena
Subversion

This is why the $200 cost for a 360 is better spent on a video card and some RAM. Using Tigerdirect.ca I'm getting 4 gigs of Dual Channel DDR2 RAM and a Geforce 9800 GT for 150 Canadian dollars. With this upgrade my PC can utterly crush the 360 (and PS3) in terms of performance.
