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.

Newegg.com is way cheaper than tiger at least for me in the US. but anyway the list is very great cant wait for alan wake and mass effect 2. my standpoint I used to be a PC/nintendo gamer I would upgrade my PC every 2 years and replace every 4 years. I can say that if you have a pc powerful enough to play those game then is a no brainer, buy them for PC but if your like me (i gave up PC gaming because it was just to expensive) and only use your pc for Starcraft and internet a 360 is much cheaper. I mean everything you need to have the best 360 experance you still spend less than you would to build or buy a gaming PC and it will be usable without an upgrade for a long time compared to a pc.

 

For $500 you can get a PC that will run games better than a X360 ever could. Add to the fact that PC gaming is cheaper because PC games are cheaper and have mods, and you don't have to pay to play online (unlike X360). Also PC has far more and better games than Xbox 360.

 

mabe, but how much better? can it play Crisis at max rez with everything on? i doubt it. So yea I could spend 500 dollars and have a good PC bearly more powerful than my 360 and yes free online, mods and cheaper games but can I buy used PC games? can I sell used PC games? no, at least not were I am. I buy new on very few games and used I can get NBA2K7 for 6 bucks or mass effect for 16 bucks Can you?  I guess all I am saying is if you have a good running PC and can play those games then great more power to you but I would have to put down an other 500 dollars to have a PC that in 2 years I would have to put down another 200 dollars to keep it up to date. thats 100 dollars a year so live is worth it.
