    Read the Pc perspective and stopped halfway through. Amazing bias, IMO.

    Sweet, I'll get it when my newish nVidia card dies (which shouldn't be for quite a while).

    Meh.
    I'm going to wait and see what the new NVidia cards are like, might only be next year but then I just bought my GTX 260 and it's absolutely fine for current games.
    Oh and it still can't really beat Stalker: Clear Sky.
