Title says it all...

I liked the original and the sequal looks pretty good. I've been looking for a game I could play co-op with my brother in law, problem is I'm a PC gamer, and he plays on the Xbox 360. Now I see there is cross platform support for the PS3 but howcome now for the Xbox?

Valve couldn't get Microsoft to open the network the way Square Enix got to for FFXI. XBL is a closed architecture, and MS wouldn't make any special exceptions to let people connect to Steam.

That's a hilarious amount of stereotyping.

Lol, maybe you should try a few PC games before you knock a huge and diverse community. Many PC players would say the same thing about the XBL community.

I think it's a good thing, people should play it on the PC anyway. I've played it for Xbox 360 and it just feels like its easier to control with a keyboard and mouse. If only Microsoft would allow people to connect a USB mouse and keyboard for use in games on the Xbox 360.

The "evil people" on steam are far better than the braindead people on the 360.

WoW sucks? You mean the most played subscription based game of all time sucks? WoW ate 6 years of my life. Its amazing fun yet simple. I quit it but its still my top game of all time.

Also the PS3 version comes with the PC verison free. I mean how do you compare both games at 59.99 yet the ps3 version comes with 2 copies? I like my xbox and haven't bought a ps3 game in 2 years lol but this one is a no brainer.

let me just point something out: Xboxgamer is TRYING to get you to argue with him... he doesn't care if what he says is true or offensive, in fact, he WANTS it to be offensive. He's a troll, just ignore him.
