[QUOTE="-Renegade"]i knew this would get a good score good stuff but i am still not picking up the ps3 version because of valve and gabe.mingo123

Your actually denying yourself good games because Gabe Newell criticised the PS3's hardware?

Why do you buy systems then? You seem more interested in hardware than software.

because he is a sony fanboy who thinks all ps3 exclusives are incredible (even if they suck bad) and all games on other consoles are horrible, atleast thats what ive noticed from most of his threads ive read so far

I know he's a Sony fanboy, but he's crossed that fatal line between supporting a console because you believe you'll get the best experience and supporting a console in spite of the experience it provides.

With integrated graphics you probably want the 360 version.

With The Orange Box out on both the PC and the Xbox 360, it's worth noting that there are a handful of differences between them, but it's hard to go wrong with either version. For starters, the PC version is $10 cheaper and, provided that you have modern hardware, it also looks better than the Xbox 360 version. The 360 version doesn't run as smoothly, though its frame rate is hardly a problem, either.

Lol @ the bold. ~3+ year old engine and it still looks worse and runs worse? Jeez.

Valve doesnt know how to port. and BTW it game looks fine on the 360

Great score, but the 360 owners are missing out on the true experience of Team Fortress 2. My buddy picked up the 360 version and said the servers are absolute garbage and 16 player support isn't that amazing considering the PC is doing 24(default) and 32 player servers... Also, Halo will largely overshadow the awesomeness that is tf2.

If you have a PC that can run the orange box quite well, its really a no brainer and get the PC version.

Yeah TF2 is fun but doesnt compare to H3. And yes, most servers on the 360 version are very laggy, some arnt though... My PC can run HL2 maxed (i own HL2 for the PC), but i bought it for the PC for the achievements, the Live experience, and mainly because i dont play on my PC anymore, thats old school

Knowing you I bet that if it would've gotten a 2.0 you would've still gone out to play it.
