Halo 4 is a good game, and I think you should buy it when it comes out tomorrow, if you’re even remotely interested in first-person shooters. You can read our reviews of the campaign and multiplayer aspects of the game. Halo 4 is also one of the best-looking games of the current generation, to the point that I thought the first level was based on some kind of trick. If it looks this good on the 360, I can’t imagine how it would look on a high-end PC, with resolution jacked up and a higher frame rate.

Of course, that's not going to happen. "Halo 4 was designed specifically for Xbox 360, and while we’re always exploring new ways to expand the franchise and share the Halo experience with as many fans as possible, we do not currently have any plans to port Halo 4 to PC," a Microsoft spokesperson told the Penny Arcade Report. Microsoft obviously thinks that Halo 4 has more value pushing its consoles than it would have merely selling software to PC gamers as a whole, but there is still a missed opportunity here.
