i mainly play xbox but pc is definitely the best

The problem with your list is that you neglect that some of these games are also on PC, so in reality the PS3 actually has more exclusives, whether you like them or not, that can only be played on the PS3. And most of those games are shooters, while the PS3 exclusives are more diversified. But even if those xbox games you listed were also on PC, games like resistance, or killzone, I think, aren't on PSP, so it confirms that those games are more exclusive to the PS3, than halo and gears is for the 360.

But who cares, I own both systems, and they are both good

Also half the games you listed you can play on the PS3 or Pc as well not to mention that is just a matter of opinion because I would beg to differ and say PS3 exclusives are way better than 360's. They do have some good exclusive games though.

Umm... you're wrong. If you have a ps3, give the exclusives a try. Uncharted is an epic game(s), God of War, depite the total lack of story, has ground breaking mechanics. Little Big Planet is interesting (and adorable), but it really is for a "creator." If you don't build levels, not too good. But, ModNation Racers is outrageous, Demons Souls is groundbreaking (Try it. You WILL fall in love/addiction), Valkyria Chronicles is probably the best Strategy RPG since Tactics. MGS 4, if you're into stealth games, blows every other one out of the water in regards to gameplay, graphics and story.
And Infamous is the most authentic, probable, and believable superhero game, ever. It's phenomenal. And 3d Dot Game Heroes was a really unique idea and, despite it not being the "best game ever," I'm really glad I have it.
The 360 exclusives you named are only half-amazing. Forza is the lead of driving-games, but GT5 is going to surpass it. Left4Dead really isn't that good of a game. It's fun, but it really does lack in a ton of aspects. Street Fighter is not an exclusive.
Alan Wake, though, was phenomenal, and the Mass Effect games are dope. Personally, I don't think fable is too good. Too short, and too easy to 100%.
Also, despite the press around Reach, I hate the new formula with the sprint, shield, jetpack, invisibility. I know that BRINK is all about classes, and i'm absurdly stoked for it, but Halo wasn't. Halo is an epic, neutral shooter. If you are getting rocked by somebody, the reality is they are better than you. With all the new "abilities," Halo isn't an equal shooter anymore, and, in my eyes, the end of my time with it.
Gears of War, though, is cool, despite the lack of a decent story (just like halo).

Actually... other than Mass Effect and Alan Wake, the 360 lacks in stories via exclusives. If you play Uncharted, you'll be really surprised by the accurcy, probability and plain ol' good fiction. Demon's Souls is really an inventive/thought provoking tale/gameplay, and Infamous has a serious storyline with interesting outcomes.
360 wins in downloadable games 100%. But the exclusives, currently, I think go to the PS3. There's more variety on the PS3 (Including RPG exclusives, though they're all horrible. Lost Odyssey definitly wins, still).

This post didn't have anything to do with Brink...
...Resistance!

Xbox still has so many more. Look, Halo,
Originally an RTS game for Mac, and the FPS was originally being developed for PC. If Microsoft hadn't acquired Bungie, Xbox would have no Halo. Halo and Halo 2 are also available on PC, with PC exclusive content.

Gears of War
Available on PC

The Orange Box
Originally a PC release, that features games that were originally only on PC, by a developer that is known to develop PC games. Half Life and Team Fortress are synonymous with PC gaming, so why would you list this as an xbox (or any console) exclusive.

Mass Effect
Also available on PC, with a redesigned GUI and HUD to take advantage of PC controls.

Fable
Available on PC with the bonus content all in one package.

Splinter Cell
and Splinter Cell games are also available on PC.

Forza Motorsport
It's main existence is to compete with Grand Turismo - a PS3 exclusive.

Street Fighter
Available on PC, and was also on SNES, Genesis, Arcade, PS1 and 2 and probably more.

Alan Wake
Uh oh, that's 2 you named...Although, it was planned for a PC release, development was canceled.

Crackdown
Uh oh, another one...

Left 4 Dead,
Available on PC.


your "few" consisted of 3 titles....(not counting sequels) and Alan Wake is a single game, not a franchise. It may have plans for sequels or whatnot, but it is definitely not a franchise yet.

hey horse, i jumped on QW on the PS the other day for the first time and the controls, mostly the aiming and stuff felt sluggish compared to a game like cod. are they a lot better on the PC or the same? i messed around with the sensitivity as well and that didn't help either. Do you think brink will play like QW as well or or more fluent? i agree with you about the PC but it is a lot more prone to hacking and such.

PC controls for QW (and pretty much any game) are much more customizable, from button layout, to sensitivity, to smooth mouse options, etc. Also, Splash Damage did not develop the console version of QW. Brink will most likely run smooth across the board.

1) Because SD just hired a bunch of guys to make sure they get consoles right
2) One thing that seems consistent from people who attended E3, is that the controls were tight - and Brink was played on PS3 at E3.

sweet, because after i played QW i was a little nervous about brink thanks for that

Oh, also, Brink is being developed separately for all 3 platforms, so no ports.

sorry may be a noob question but what is a port?

A port is when a game is released for multiple platforms, and instead of each version being developed separately, they take one version and "port" it, or copy it so it can be played on other platforms. So if an Xbox game was ported to PC, it would basically be like an xbox game on PC. The game wouldn't take advantage of of the PC's hardware or control scheme or the high resolutions monitors are capable of.

That's an observation I had yet to make, and a good point to boot.

thanks again i prefer this option anyway in my opinion PS games have more detailed graphics wise then xbox on average

Back then, it was like make the version to sell the console. Today, with increasing development costs, is make the game so it is very good on one system, and extremely svcky in the others.

But only the OP can pick, because it is the combination of the console/PC and the player that can make the best experience. Just because you say 360, does not mean that his experience with brink on the 360 would be the best.

I'd say, roll a dice and decide, because we all have no experience with Brink on any of the systems.

And if you already have one system, for the love of pee, please do not buy the other one just to play a multiplatform game.

pc=oldest gaming station that still keeps up. and is still best

now guess what i picked:)

pin-point-accuracy FTW!

This was used to express Xbox superiority over PS3 not over PC. The PC is well and truly the best platform, and i have nothing against it. My post was to say Xbox is better than PS3, not than PC. I would have thought this would have been obvious because of several of my other points about PS3s.

I'm playing it on the Xbox 360.

Which is best for S.M.A.R.T, though?

I have to say the PS3 is. ONLY because of its controller. I don't own a PS3, but I've played it at my friends' house and the PS3 controller seems to just make it seem easy to move your player. In contrast, it feels a bit more forced on the Xbox controller. I think it's just because of the different joysticks on the controllers.

I don't like the placement of the sticks on PS3, and the triggers feel weird when you pull them.

I'll go for m/kb over a controller any day.

I say - LAPTOP - cause I can take it anywhere and even play outside and mine is capable of running crysis on all high

Acutally, I'm just working/saving money to get watercooled gtx480...

I never got down with watercooling. Guess I'm just oldschool.

thanks guys. it seems like there will be a fairly even amount of people playing on each platform. im lookin forward to sein you all out there. gl hf

I think the controller preference has to do with hand size. It dates back to the SNES vs Genesis days. People with smaller hands liked SNES controllers, and people with bigger hands like the Genesis.

When the original xbox first came out, people with ginormous hands would undoubtedly choose the xbox over the PS2, Dreamcast, or gamecube. Why? Have you seen the duke controller?

But throughout official controller history, the PS2 controller beats the rest hands down. It has the right weight, and it feels nice. The problem with the 360 controller is that, it fits too nicely in your hands. For me, I don't like my hands to sweat when I play games. The 360 controller does not allow breathing space between my hands and the controller, and thus, I sweat. The PS3 controller does not totally fit in anybody's hands, but is meant to be held so that there is a gap between your palm and the controller, thus your hands don't sweat.

But so far, I am into handheld games. Just started getting into it.

Best Format would be PC as less whiny 12 year olds play that, but im on xbox unfortunately

Dude, no matter what platform...you'll always encounter the whiny 12 year olds.

i wouldn't know, but i'd say the amount of whiny kids playing doesn't change much depending on the platform
