I think we all understand his use of the word alternative with regard to this game, but i'd like to see his explanation

Erm the one on the 360....... I'm pretty sure its practically the same game, been playing it on a mates 360 in halls, that is the 'alternative version' and it has been out a while

I'm offended you would think I would want to obtain an illegal copy of a game like that (not really offended...just a tad disspointed lol)

[kalniel]

LOL it's not like the X360 is a dirty word - that would have been clearer because it's not always applicable to compare a console game to the PC version

yeah but to me it is , should have explained it though

And im 99% sure the games are pretty similar in terms of gameplay etc. I'm getting the PC one soon so I can play it on my PC with my 360 controller....so much point *rolls eyes*

[Nick]

Hehe, don't be offended or disappointed... I was a great fan of the Xbox 360 version as it happens.

But given that these forums are read by the publishers, I have to keep a check on these things.
