[Steven W]

The success of Shadowrun, which will bring Xbox 360 and PC gamers together, may determine whether Epic follow suit with Unreal Tournament III.

We've had this debate dozens of times, but as the battle draws ever closer, who is your money on? PC gamers or Xbox 360 gamers?

we’ll probably have some sort of adhesion and friction when you’re moving the cursor around

So basically they'll have to make the cursor 'stick' to enemies for console players? What fun

I played Shadowrun against Xbox 360 at CES over in Vegas.

Even though I didn't have much of a clue how the game played, I still pwned the MS guy who was next to me on the Xbox 360.

And that's the big problem with cross-platform gaming... a mouse and keyboard is just better suited to FPS games, even a relatively inept PC gamer with his keyboard and mouse will have far more success against a console gamer using a joypad.

That said, I'd like to see some sort of cross-platform game that I can play on my PC and then have the same character on the Xbox 360, some sort of MMO where no matter where I was I could get into the game with either platform...

would need to be a bag of arse pc user to get beaten by someone using a joypad...

*nods* target selection based games like Guild Wars and Eve would work fine on both platforms.
