What are you taking about, Half-Life was and always was Valve's creation, Gearbox only ported it to the PS2.

Counter Strike was a mod, Valve took on the modders to improve the game. Gearbox was only involved with one add-on pack.

Gearbox has only ever done ports or add-ons

Its like saying Gearbox did Halo: Combat Evolved, they only ported it to the PC.

I would say:

* Dice

It must of been in the knock out stages since its only Saturday and Sunday when the finals happen, nothing major no money was involved on the match.

Like Sega it will still make them strong.

Nintendo is falling fast for me, they do these radical ideas because they can't meet the financial might of Microsoft and Sony which is sad.

Bet a days does not go by when they think what they could create on platforms like PC, PS3 and 360.

Nintendo 64 was amazing, Gamecube was great but Wii and WiiU are just fail for me.

Nintendo could be huge as a 3rd party.
They could m...

Well based on these benchmark results.

My RIG
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 SLi 800MHz/1600MHz/4000MHz
PPU: Nvidia GeForce GT 240 650MHz/1583MHz/3600MHz
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T @ 3.6GHz @ 1.325Vcore
RAM: 8GB PC2-8500 (1066MHz DDR2)

Based on your rig your looking around the 55FPS mark.

Sorry but your wrong.

Here is an older example:
*ATi Radeon HD 4870 512MB
*ATi Radeon HD 4870 1024MB
The difference is about 5% average, this only gets worse at higher resolution.

Here is a newer example:
* AMD Radeon HD 6950 1024MB
* AMD Radeon HD 6950 2048MB
The difference is again around 5% average, this only gets worse at higher resolution.

The reason is with newer technologies, graphics eff...

PSVita biggest selling points are no doubt its software line up and functionally plus the cameras can be used for interesting experiences even though they're SD.
Having a standard earphone jack and USB is also another big plus.

However the big mistake is memory, I thought Sony would of learned. They should of had either 1GB LPDDR2 or 512MB LPDDR2/ 512MB VRAM
Another point is that its only going to be a Tri-core, 1 cores is locked for PSVita OS.

My PC is just itching now.

The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim
Battlefield 3
Batman Arkham City

and much much more.

Games Industry!!! How am I meant to study plus afford all this?

Guess I'll have to make my student loan stretch further and/or get a job :)

Of course Battlefield 3 wins, its real-time and PC.

UC3 does look great for a console game but that water in the second comparison ouch!!!

Can't argue with them 6 points.

Lets see what Valve do

One thing for sure Valve listen to the community but also are not scared of taking risks and by not copying what others are doing.

Play4Free
Free to Play

They're the best model for gamers and publisher/developers.
If the content is there and the game is good.

Micro-transactions and in game advertisement.

That being said, I'm still happy to shell out £30-£40 for Skyrim and Batman.

Already Pre-Purchased - Rage
Will Pre-Loaded - Rage
Bang on midnight 7th October will be playing Rage, 9 hours before retailers are open.

Also with 50Mbps = 6.25MB/s ISPs you can download 20GB per hour, quicker than going to the stores and waiting for the install.

No point in discs, you can cut out the middle man or men (in the gaming industry).
Gabe Newell said that retailers have a 70% margin on game sales meaning on a £40 sale ...

I think its very harsh for an Indie game.
Looks great, sounds great, has a good atmosphere.

7/10 minimum, a lot better than similar styled games from more established developers.

By the sounds of it

PC gamers want MMO quests/raids to be almost impossible and to take several hours.
PS3 gamers want MMO quests/raids to be over fast to get the loot.

PC gamers, want a extreme challenge.
PS3 gamers, want to rush onto the next one.

Sounds to me that PS3 gamer can't wait to finish the game, where as the PC gamer really want to enjoy every experience.

Shows why MMOs really don't work on...

Portal 2 - 2011
Dota - 2011
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - 2012
Half-life 2: Episode 3 - 2012?

Valve just keep on delivering, I'm expecting a Free to play model for Dota 2 and CS:GO on PC and Mac, just like TF2 is now.
