Here's an idea: What about if everything that came out on 360 comes out on PC as well!?
I wait a lot for Alan Wake and I wanted to play it on PC and in the end I have to bought it for my 360.
Gears of War was a step backwards. After playing the Hi-Res, better filtering, better textures, betters effects and lighting and double resolution version on the PC I had to move again to the 360 for the second part, wich ends up looking and felling a lot worst than the first one. |

How many times have you heard MS say shit like this? Gimme a break and what? now it's ok for MS to port games from a console to PC?.. O..k Now this is getting confusing, shouldn't it be PC to console?! LOL!
How about this idea MS? How about you make an OS that's more secure so people don't hack the shit out of DirectX and all the games out there. Before you start flooding PC with shitty console ports how about you fix what's already broken?!?! Isn't that more important?!?! Then we wouldn't have to worry about useless PB or VAC
Really, PC is just such a waste of time and money these days Get a console and save yourself some money, time and peace of mind. |

I think that there's a lot of improvements to be done for the PC gaming on the Windows platform.
But, I am not referring to those crappy MS games - I do not think we miss much.
I am referring to the fact that the OS feels rubbish and performs very poorly. |

Typical two-faced shits that M$ are...
It was them that binned the M$ Train simulator series AND sacked the M$ Combat Flight sim team.
Patronising shits have NEVER fully supported PC gaming from day dot. They have continualy strived to OWN dev teams for their OWN GAIN, never for the sake of true PC gaming and the gamer.
Profits BEFORE ANY gamer and his expenditure on his rig.
Like a leopard; M$ can't change it's spots. |

| There's a announcement from Microsoft like this one every 6 months or so. I wonder why they bother when they never follow through on it? |

| @psychoo: Nice content, check. Nice sellings, check. No piracy... well, at least, less than some other games... but heck, nice price? $60 for Starcraft was an abuse, IMO. I thought, great, now that Blizz is Activision, they think there are well, the best or whatever... |

| 60$ is not much if it is going to last you like first starcraft, over 7 years, and IF they add LAN support, otherwise it wont last for a year and 60 is overkill....I know there is lots of "if's" :/ |
