It's more likely they didn't make enough from their first games in the series because their audience was limited to the PC.
You have a very good point. But how do you even know if I Am Alive is even one of those games. It hasn't been released yet. It may never be released.
no
Level 110???? Is that even possible? How long do you have to play to get to such a level? I'm only level 39, and I've easily dumped well over 100 hours into Skyrim.
Exactly what I was thinking when I read the article.
I'm surprised by all the disagree votes. Do all these voters think Half-Life games suck?
You're just saying that to start a flame war. You can't possibly mean it.
Almost? lol Gears and Resistance are more similar than CoD and Skyrim.
I would have just said fpp doesn't mean fps.
I can't figure out if they're alive or dead?
No developer could create a masterpiece like Skyrim with out there being several bugs. I'm sure they're better at making games than you could ever hope to be at anything.
My only complaint is the fact that when I change the key bindings for Activate from E to F I can't change the key for Favorite from F to something else, and a few other similar problems. Also the UI seems to be designed more with consoles in mind. Other than these small issues I think we've got our GOTY.
"I’m dead opposed to Steam for the simple fact that I’ve never managed to get it to work. Ever" How is this possible? It's so user friendly. If I can get it to work, anyone can.
Sure it's not extremely uncommon for some games to have some minor problems on day one, but beyond that you shouldn't have any problems.
You should try installing Half Life 2 again, I'm sure it'd work for you now. And it's well worth any frustration you may have experi...
So glad it's released on a holiday! (Rememberance Day in Canada) Going to be busy with it all weekend. Wish I'd booked Monday off too.
Great list except for Tomb Raider (It may deserve a place in the list, I just lost interest after playing the first one and never cared to give the series another chance.

The reason there aren't games that can't be ported to consoles is because that would be an unwise move for any company to make since the PC is a much smaller community than the consoles. if Crysis had come out on the consoles right away they would have probably sold 3 or 4 times as much as they did for the PC alone.
Also the reason there aren't more games with vastly better graphics is because the consoles have reached their graphical peak.
@JaredH
You should be able to get a powerful PC that meets BF3's recommended system requirements for $800. (So you'd be able to play any games at high settings for the foreseeable future). Also if you buy, say 1 game a month, you'll save roughly $120 a year on games since console games generally cost $10 more than their PC counterparts.
@Winter47th
Not one word of that article could be considered bashing consoles.
"thinking with Portals before Portal was even thought of"
How DARE you?? Valve was working on Portal back in 2005.
