naz - it should be stated you'd have to have a decent ($1k+) PC rig to run HL2 in a comparable state to the X360 version....If not more of an investment.

 Why do people keep doing this?  This is just not true, please stop spreading PC FUD. 

You can get a very nice PC for under $1000 including the cost of a monitor and windows if you actually need them.  But most people already have a monitor and a copy of windows, so really you can get in at under $800 very easily.  And if you plan accordingly you leave yourself lots of room for cheaper upgrades in the future.

I would be happy to help anyone pick out parts who thinks it costs more than that to build a solid Gaming PC.

The PC version is currently at 97. But then it has less reviews.

They should perhaps limit the amount of reviews on the same game (if it's multiplatform) because I doubt the 360 version is better then the PC version, but it would appear that way to the casual onlooker.
