360 Xenos GPU is a modified ATi Readon HD 2600
8800 GTX is twice the 7900 GT
GTX 285 is twice the 8800 GTX
Tell me when has Sony released content on any game free or patch a game years after release because the community ask for it? NEVER!!!
All of these games Valve has updated them and improvement them for free
Counter Strike - is continuously patched for any bugs the community finds
Counter Strike Source - continuously patched for any bugs the community finds
Day of Defeat - continuously patched for any bugs the community finds
Day of Defeat: Source - ...
Pachter is losing it, Valve may develop on the PS3 in the future
Valve has always been about bringing great game experiences (even though the fanboys think otherwise)
Half-Life changed FPS and Half-Life 2 was the first to bring physics into FPS, most games still don't do this (COD: MW2).
Team Fortress and Counter Strike have been the Benchmark for online FPS and
Left 4 Dead is a completely new look on Zombie horror games
Just because Valve d...

From the benchmarks I have seen so far I have to say I'm very disappointed.
GTX 470 only 10% - 15% faster than HD 5850
GTX 480 less than 10% faster than HD 5870
Well I was aiming at GTX 470 or to get GTX 485 (if they do one) but I'm going to wait for HD 6870 or GTX 580 in 18 months or something
Steam in the UK has pulled most Ubisoft games with this DRM including Assassins Creed II
If Ubisoft removed their DRM from Steam versions I would purchase
Splinter Cell, Assassins Creed II and The Settlers 7 ASAP otherwise I'm boycotting it, Yes I will not play them ever even though I love these games series
DRM is killing PC
DICE and EA have done the right thing and removed DRM from Steam version of BC2

Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)
Heavy Rain is a better game but Fahrenheit was the genre starter

Micro-Transactions - On PC side you pay a little and get the game, content or fund the games development, consoles like on Home an...
