I played the PC version of HL2 on a PC @ 1024x768 w/ all high settings.

I played it a second time on a PC running on a 56" HDTV @ 720p w/ all high settings.

I am playing it again on the 360 now and I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt that the PC version looks better. A lot of the textures are just not as nice on the 360 version. It still looks great, but not as sharp as the PC version.

I am glad to hear that Episode One and Two do look better than the original HL2 though.

Lastly: The graphics have not effected my enjoyment of this INCREDIBLE game.

...owns all other game developers.

Seriously, HL2 owns all other FPS's. Including Halo 3. It's so damn engaging. It's so damn beautiful. It's so damn fun, scary, exiting, unique, etc. It's funny, I just played through Halo 3 and now I am playing through HL2 for the 3rd time (first 2 were on PC). I really enjoyed Halo 3's campaign. It was a good game, but now that I started playing HL2 again, it realy pales in comparison. I guess that is a testament to HL2. It can make a good game look crappy.

The Orange Box also shows how you can add value to a 3 year old game. Instead of just porting HL2 to the next gen machines and selling ti for $60 (this would have been EA's move), they actually made a package that is worth WAY MORE than $60.

Oh yeah, Portal? This is the most fun puzzle game ever. It's so damn cool, and get's your mind working in ways that just make you say "wow, that was cool." My wife was watching me play the first few levels and I kept hearing "whoa", and "holy ****" in my ear.

Thanks Valve. I have bashed you in the past, but you have FULLY redeemed yourself.

Anyone who has not picked up The Orange Box is doing themselves a GREAT disservice.

who here want they money back

upay

I want my TAX money back that has gone towards your education.

And how can anyone think they deserve one penny back form Sony? As time goes on, technologies get cheaper. Would you call Gateway and ask for $1000 back form that snazzy PC you bought 2 years ago? Give it a rest.

3 GREAT candidates. Obama, Clinton, and Edwards. atrain4

Name something any one of them has accomplished that makes them so great, and try to leave Bill Clinton out of it.

NO WAI!

When did this happen?

P.S. I like to see someone a proud owner of all the consoles like myself, we going to go broke, but it's going to be fun.

good job = not going broke ;)

It IS going to be fun though! :D

It's also nice not to have to resort to fanboyism.
