A review quote:
'The brief glimpse we recently got of IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey, the newly announced Xbox 360 game in the series, says to us that the game will give players that same sense of hugeness and immersion that made the original PC series so enjoyable. The world you are flying over is incredibly detailed, and not just a static and flat aerial photograph turned into a texture. The hills roll, the trees are actual 3D elements, and towns are actual collections of buildings done with a level of detail rarely seen in a flight game. The plane models look gorgeous too as they fly through weather filled skies that are about as believable as you can get. You will not be unimpressed watching this game in action. On top of that graphical fidelity, the game can support one hundred distinct, AI-controlled planes on screen at once.
But the biggest question that most people will have is, how much did they dumb the game down for the Xbox 360? The answer is: not at all. Birds of Prey includes a simulation mode that is no different than the most strict simulation mode of the original PC title. Really. The flight model has not been simplified in the least for the Xbox 360, even though it was a challenge to make it work with the Xbox 360 controller. Don

No console for me... ever :evil:
There are a lot of big issues associated with consoles vs PC:
- The powers that be want everything coming in or out of our homes, in terms of communication and entertainment, to travel over a single cable. That way they have control of available content and can monitor things, all things.
- Both Microsoft and Sony have very bad histories regarding abuse of proprietary material. Microsoft has been fined repeatedly, and not tiny amounts, by the EU Court for attempting to prevent competition by refusing to release code for some of it's products. Sony was pricing it's games differently in different countries and coded the games so that a lesser priced game for one country wouldn't work in a country where the game was higher priced. Both Microsoft and Sony want monopoly and they want to exploit it for profit at our expense.

Console bias aside.
Trust me. After the entertainment industries engulf the console market completely over the next 5 years, there won't be a sane, self-respecting gamer left that would even consider the prospect of buying a console... unless of course you are dragged along with the combination of social engineering and materialism game publishers have taken advantage of in recent years--something observed for nearly a century-which mostly, in this instance, take advantage of those people out looking for that sweet escape from reality, or 90% of those delusional zombies you see everyday on your way to work - they will eat anything the market can throw at them, like streetwalkers to a sex crazed Hugh Grant in his midlife crisis.
The console shall not prevail!
My apologies in advance if I offended anyone or promt an adverse reaction. I get a little... aggravated myself on the subject.
