[QUOTE="psn8214"]Graphics look a good deal nicer actually, but the main advantage is running everything at sixty frames per second. Some (myself included) prefer the keyboard and mouse too, and one can always just use a gamepad should that be their preference. Additionally, Valve seems to support the PC more, with regular free content for TF2, among other things. Valve games are also notable for their moddability, which is another arguable benefit, given the breadth of content available.
Not that there is anything wrong with the 360 versions of course, but they are certainly more of a PC dev.

I would have thought the 360 version was at 60 FPS if I hadn't just found out. Is it 30 then? Oh well. The TF2 thing ticked me off though. PC players got customizable ****s and new maps while 360 and PS3 owners got the finger from Valve. I don't understand why consoles couldn't have been updated, it's ridiculous. Now mods, and graphics, that's really just an all-around PC benefit. I can see why people would play PC over consoles because of mods or control preference, but is it really the console's fault Half-Life 2 was apparently a sloppy port and TF2 had no updates, or is it a lack of effort from Valve?It is certainly a lack of effort, and that is part of my point; Valve is, and always has been, more inclined to update the PC versions of their games (for free too, although pricing of content on consoles is not their fault, if I recall correctly), which is another reason why folk here will say that PC is the premier platform for Valve games.
The 360 versions are not bad at all though; in fact, I would argue that they are under-rated by PC gamers, given that the most important aspect of them, the gameplay, is there, and it's solid. I personally am not a fan; as I mentioned in another post, the controls just feel off to me, a tad sluggish, but that is probably just me, and I'm used to playing the games with a mouse and keyboard anyways... :P
