Those games really need a mouse and keyboard. I know Halo Wars from ES is a big gamble on the 360, but I have doubts about its control system. I played a few free demo shooters on the 360 and I could never get used to the controls. I'm a W-A-S-D guy, so I'll never be able to make the transition to the console for a lot of games. And a lot of those shooters look incredible. True, but I guess my favorite style of game (RTS) will never make it big on a console. Those games really need a mouse and keyboard.

It doesn't look like Vista-exclusive games have been accepted very well so far, so we'll see. Yep, it will depend on the developers, though.

That would leave a lot of gamers in the dust if they moved to Vista-exclusive. I don't see that happening during the next 12 months or so. You think so?

Not when you consider how much time it took them to make it. With all that money... did they only have one guy working on it, or what? They still had to drop features before releasing it. The only problem with XP is that they'll probably try to make games only run on Vista pretty soon. Vista isn’t bad, but it’s that not good either.
