At least 20 new games coming off 1 engine.

That is like Moding Gears of War to get UT2K7.

Yes, however, that means that you won't be able to do something too drastic, like completely change the GUI or make the graphics prettier, add better physics, etc. It's great to see an engine can be stretched like that, but there are limits, and you can't wholly reprogram the engine since it is still essentially HF2. gnutux

PC gaming is "ok", but I choose console gaming. I like playing with friends over and chilling. I like splitscreen deathmatch, coop, ect....Much more fun and gets everyone involved....

I don't like to have to spend a few thousand on a computer to play those games though.  But that's just me.  Just throwin' it out there.

It'll cost you far less than "a few thousand" to play half-life on a computer. My computer is positively low-end by today's standards, but I can still play Half-Life 2 will full settings at a 1280x720 resolution.

Even freakin' graphics cards can run Source games! You could probally build a PC that can run it cheaper than the Wii!

Oh, I thought there was more to the argument than just playing Half-Life.  My fault:).  And yeah, I really do want to play HL2.  I just dont know exactly what's inside my computer, but it's fairly new, so it should be able to run something.  My fault on that post.

Hah. Not really... but too close for comfort.

Valve makes some interestingly scalable engines :D

Stop listing mods for Half-Life 2 where there is so much great games out there on the PC. I'm really sick of fellow PC users always pasting mods here, mods there - fine we have mods, but we have games that are 10 times better as those mods and to be honest with you, more as half of the mods on the PC are complete trash, once in a while you stumble upon one that is great.

Here's the reason why I don't do PC gaming: the cost. It's a lot more expensive than any other form of gaming. I don't want to spend a crapload of money on graphics cards, RAM chips, memory, and other stuff only to have it become obsolete a few years later. When I get money, I'll probably bring my computer up to 2004.
