will they please make cs:s for the 360? damn i want to play counter-strike on xbox live like i did with the origanal xbox. Although, i hope they upgrade the graphics since it is the 360.

I dont how they will put HL2, HL2E1, HL2E2, Portals, and team fortress2 on 1 disc 4 the 360 will there be multiple discs. but the ps3's blu ray disc will fit it but i hate the PS3, sony should stop copying other companys ideas and get there own. VIVA DA 360

hope there going to put all the half life episodes 1 2 and 3 for the xbox 360
anyways valve is the only company i but the most games cuz there mostly fun

Hope they bring cs:s and dod to 360

screw hl2. i hope they either make a new game or a counter strike game

a nother reason 2 see that x360 is going 2 smash..............crapS3 i think im getting a x360

yay i love valve

one more reason to get the 360, that is if they decide to port half life 2 to the 360.

This is good for gamers, MS is making it easy to developers to make their games . for me I'm a happy 360 owner

bring day of defeat to the xbox 360!!!!!!!

It will be nice seeing Valve do an actual console game; until now all we've had is Valve ports of PC games. GO ORIGINALITY!!!

Great news for 360 owners
But where is teh P$-3?

awesome hope they bring the expansion packs of half-life to the 360 along with everything else

Hopefully the new games are not just crappy ports like Half Life on PS2 (awful load times), or HL2 on XBox (awful graphics. Should've been ported to 360 instead)

booo......hopefully they will decide to release on PC first, then port to 360.

Way to go Valve...

The Half Life 2 & Doom3 Engines still look great. If you say they look dated then you haven't seen them turned all the way up.

The SONY fanboys are really starting to get nervous now. Don't worry though the hype machine should be in full effect come E3. Maybe they will finally announce the release date for FNR3. Back on topic I can't wait to see what Valve has planned for the 360. Everyday I own my 360 I feel more and more like it was money well spent.

$60 games and pay to play online. How much extra do I need to pay in order to play this game too?

"So, to settle the age old question, PC or Console, the obvious answer is that they both have pros and cons. Because one person prefers one over the other doesn't make him/her right or wrong.

So I say to all fanboys, back off with the platform fanboyisms. Most intelligent folk don't care about your over-heated oppinions."

Your not settling anything by saying that. In fact, what your saying isnt intelligent at all. You see, its not related to fanboyism or preferences. Simply put, an analog stick just doesnt give the same quick precision that the mouse does (with an analog, you indirectly control the crosshair to the point which u want to shoot, with a mouse, its a direct control over your crosshair, so you point and click). The hardcore FPS players dont stick to PC because their fanboys, but because the mouse and keyboard are just far more precise, period. If you think otherwise, I challenge you to play Counterstrike on xbl now, and then immediately after on your PC. Even if you suck at FPS', you'll quickly notice your much improved aim, as well as, on average, a better kill/deaths ratio when you play it on the PC.

Ugh. It will probably end up being just more shooters.

I want to see games specific for PC or 360. I don't want any damn ports. I love the PC and 360. Just team up with Ubisoft to make GRAW 2 or do an original game. Make HL3 already and close the series.

Xanog1, PC devs just have a shorter learning curve developing for 360...that's all. PC game development is still a lucrative business since you don't have to worry about royalties for console developers.

Wow, why does it seem like many PC devs are going to Xbox 360 now? Do they not like their fanbases or something?

This is great news!! I can't wait to get my hands on half-life 3 on the 360!!

good

Valve is the best PC developer out there bar none!

i hope its an amazing game they make!!

Counter strike on Xbox 360 and support for keyboard and mouse.

PS3 allows Keyboard and Mous!!!!!!!!!

Imavnas,

I just can't get comfortable on my couch with a mouse and keyboard. I have now, and have had for many years pc's. I used to play games on my pc. But, like i said, the whole keyboard and mouse thing is just clunky on a couch. Can't beat the wireless controller of the x360. Also, having to work with computers all day long, that is the last place I look for entertainment.

So, to settle the age old question, PC or Console, the obvious answer is that they both have pros and cons. Because one person prefers one over the other doesn't make him/her right or wrong.

So I say to all fanboys, back off with the platform fanboyisms. Most intelligent folk don't care about your over-heated oppinions.

It's really good to see that the 360 is getting alot of third party support. Hopefully we'll also see more developers bringing their exclusives over to the 360. If Microsoft can score franchises like Final Fantasy (not just the online one), Tekken, Devil May Cry and Virtua Fighter it will really help them in Japan.

My egg salad is getting slippery.

a sad day indeed

Too many games for 360 by some great developers on the way, I almost can't take it. Somebody get me a brown bag!!!

Hello, Half-Life Episode One!

i would love to see a remake of half Life 2, first.

"wow, look at the pc people cry. Lemme see. sit hunched over in front of 20" $1500 monitor, or play in my heated vibrating chair, on my $1200 hd projector, throwing a 81" picture???? Everyone owns a tv. Not everyone owns a pc significant enough to run hl2 or oblivion..."

Like others before me have stated, the pricing for a good computer is widely lauded as exagerrated when in fact it is not. With the amount of cash you spend on a 360 and the accompanying downloads and game prices, you could easily get yourself a computer that could play both HL2 AND Oblivion. True, it wont be really high end, but itll be decent enough that the differences between 360 graphics and framerate and the PC's graphics and framerates are minimal. And by the way, your living in the last decade if your still playing your PC games on a monitor. Most middle to high end tv's can hook up to your computer just the same saw they hook up to your 360.

Besides, FPS's on consoles, save for Halo maybe, have yet to be groundbreaking. The mouse and keyboard combo is as of yet irreplacable for the hardcore FPS fans.

the 360 is a winner...hands down...prepare for E3, I think we'll be blown away w/ all the annoucements made! Can't wait...

Great news!!!

Love to see what they come up with.

Just call it quits sony.

they make good games. with all their normal delays though, it may be time for ps6 by the time the 1st xbox360 game is ready...

Nice to see more games coming for the 360 as much as I want to hear more for the PS3 I own the 360 and the more there are of games the happier I will be.

As long as Valve gives us Half-Life 3 (and/or these episodes) on Xbox 360 I'll be happy.

wow, look at the pc people cry. Lemme see. sit hunched over in front of 20" $1500 monitor, or play in my heated vibrating chair, on my $1200 hd projector, throwing a 81" picture???? Everyone owns a tv. Not everyone owns a pc significant enough to run hl2 or oblivion...

Just as a FYI...you can plug in any USB keyboard to a 360 use it. Mouse support is lacking.

I agree though, if I wanted a keyboard and mouse I'd be using my PC.

The real trend people are starting to realize though...which developers already know...make a PC game get a free port to 360.

Or have a dedicated PS3 development team.

Actually it's a bit worse...some developers are sticking with the PS2 platform for the next round or two of titles because of logistics. Why develope a PS3 launch title which may sell a couple million at best when you can spit out a PS2 title in a known enviroment and have an installed customer base of 100 Million.

It's a matter of business and their business is sales.

Valve is a great developer...so, I know the games will do well. They have been quite opposed with working in the console area, but shifting gears can have its benifits.

good news

EVIL! EVIL! VALVE! YOUR SHIFTING FROM HARDCORE PC GAMER AUDIENCE TO N00bSAUCE AUDIENCE!

Sorry but it's not going to be HL3 since they mentioned they're using the Source engine. And knowing Valve, they'd never be able to release HL3 within the 360's lifetime.

Nice. I have only played the demo for HL2 and that 2D game, but I'll probably pick up HL3 or whatever game it is. I'm expecting and even more "War of the Worlds" experience on the Xbox 360

excellent news, can't wait!
