I'm going to buy it tomorrow, the same time as I get my new PC. *drool*

I bought it for PC.

I've bought it twice: once for the PS3 off of Steam and once for the 360.

Yeah, I felt the exact same way as IllegalPalidan. The controls just felt broken in the console versions to me. Especially for TF2 (Also what is with the 16 man server limit?). The gravity gun as well isn't nearly as useful without the precision of a mouse. Portal felt constricting.

In general the game felt clunky and incomplete on 360 and PS3. It and Call of Duty 4 IMO are the ultimate cases for why you should play FPS games on PC instead...

I bought it for the PC via Steam.

Gratz on getting a new PC.  Welcome to the winning team. ^_^

Also you're playing Phoenix Drive? That's the most hilarious game ever.  Seriously, if you're over 18 and have played Phoenix Wright you really need to play this game.  It's meant to be porn but all it really is is an unbelievably funny mess of bad translations and horrible plot devices.

Why thank you. It's good to be back. Umm.. tomorrow. The thought of being back tomorrow feels very nice.

I got Phoenix Drive from a friend at a LAN party, and only played it for a few minutes some days later. It sucked even though I was extremely drunk, and I never touched it again, but left my sig in place as something of a April Fool's joke. Probably going to add a bunch of *new* games tomorrow. =P

Btw, I made a thread about my computer buying plans a while back. More advice is always welcome, as I'm honestly pretty nervous about anything that involves walking into a store with 1000€ of cash in my pocket...

I bought it for the PC off of Steam. Mouse + keyboard = FPS.

I have it for PS3, it's awesome indeed. And i don't know why but it seems better to aim with a controller in this game than in other FPS games...

My brother has it, but he barely plays games other than PES, I might try portal, though I hate anything with even the smallest bit of horror, Uncharted was beyond the limit (at that is the only exception to the rule), and that is what turns me off Gears
