I know that the PC gaming world bummed out big time when it was announced that Halo -- originally slated to come out for the PC -- was going X-Box only. I saw a demo-movie of Halo -- very cool. The idea of getting an X-Box never crossed my mind until I started playing AO -- Oddworld is digging deep into my psyche. If AE is as captivating, I'm going to have to rethink.
I'm not a Microsoft hater by any means, but it seems like this X-Box exclusive stuff is typical imperious MS BS (no, that's not the new Microsoft/CBS joint venture) -- trying to rule the world, or at least get all the money. So many other games are made for consoles and the PC, even though quite a few PC games ported from consoles suffer for it. I have a hard time believing that after 2 games on the PC Oddworld would bail on that platform if Microsoft hadn't said: If you want to play Munch's Oddysee and Halo, buy an X-Box.
