Hi guys,

Just wondering, is it possible for pc gamers to play (for example) xbox players online?

Thanks

As far as I know there are only one or two games that do this. The majority of games have seperate servers.

Aw damn that sux, was hoping to play a friend of mine as he only has a 360, can you name some games that can do it please?

shadowrun, universe at war & lost planet colonies edition are the only crossplatform games at the moment

shadowrun and halo 2 are the only ones i can think of, but both are crap and not worth it.

Raziel1 · 20 Feb 2009 at 23:12

halo 2 isn't cross platform

Might have to consider getting a 360 sometime then. =|

Anyone know why they dont provide this for more games, I thought it would have been a good idea to unite all the gamers rather then keep them all in their boxes?

I think a lot of games don't include it because its hard to balance out the different control methods. Keyboard & mouse will beat a controller on pretty much any game type
