Last weekend I purchased Half-Life 2 and a 7800GT. Half-Life 2 on the PC is amazing ;)

"The best PC first-person shooter ever replicates itself superbly on Xbox."

"I recently played through the PC version of the game from start to finish -- not knowing that I would be reviewing the Xbox title so soon -- and I'm constantly amazed at just how well the Xbox project has turned out."

"Do yourself a huge favor and play Half-Life 2. Turn up the volume and the lights down. I guarantee you've never seen anything else like this on a console before. It really is that good."

I'm giddy for Wednesday.

Buy a PC, buy HL2, you'll be happier. :laugh:

And if you cannot, you're SOL.

A lot of trolling going on here... :s

Why would I be happy upgrading my PC with hardware that will be near obsolete within a year?

When I have a career and have security escort you off the premises I will be all about the expensive hobby that is PC Gaming. Until then, I'd rather spend my money more practically on a 360 and games that I trust will keep me highly entertained for my remaining college years and beyond. PC no doubt has the graphics, but I'm all about console's busting plethora of games and Xbox Live.

I respect and admire the strides that PC Gaming has made but its simply too expensive for my middle-class ass. I have insurance and tuition to worry about. There is a reason console gaming is a multi-billion dollar industry and PCs are left far behind.

Although I can afford pc gaming I agree with him^ :yes: .

Anyway this will make a good present for my friends who don't have a good pc.

Gotta love elitism. Good to see this available for console players though, and it doesn't look too bad at all even after beating it on PC.

Yeah, thats the good thing about it, way cheaper and you will get more consistent performance on console.:yes:s:

"If you've already played Half Life 2 on a powerful PC, then you aren?t going to find yourself much reason to play the Xbox version, but for the vast majority of gamers that don?t have a gillion dollar setup, the Xbox version is a fantastic choice that will offer players a damn near identical version of 2004?s best FPS on the PC. I can easily say that I had just as much fun playing through the game on the Xbox as I first did on the PC, and probably even more so due to my personal preference of the controller over the keyboard.

Sweet! My computer would die if it tried to run the game (much like it did when I ran Battlefield 2).
