Best Graphics Cards For The Money: June '09

This month, ATI's new Radeon HD 4770 is missing in action, since online stores are not only unable to keep it in stock, but also de-listing it completely. With violent movements in pricing, though, it'd have been taken off the recommended list anyway. Read more

I'm sick of reading these reviews to find out its not a PC title. If its not PC I dont care. I dont visit tomshardware for console news... I think it would be a good idea if the reviews showed the platform on the first page.

That was my fault, not Kevin's. It's the Xbox 360 version. I will re-edit the review to make this clear. Sorry for the screw up.

Well, the game is a console port so the PC version most likely looks very similar to the console but with mouse&keyboard + the option of choosing a better resolution.

I haven't played the game but who in their right mind would buy a game at 60$ when Crysis, COD4 and others only cost 50$? ***What were they thinking!!! -Videogame nerd.
