I am thinking of downloading this on 360 but it's $60 and there's a PC version, so I am sceptical. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find any info on PC vs. console versions, or even on 360 vs. the PS3 version. And on top of all that all reviews are trashing it. Not that it matters, mind -- even if what they are saying is true, the game is a must-play simply because of the graphics -- but it's yet another reason I wouldn't feel good blowing $60 on the digital 360 version, and then more money on a retail version at some later time (since I always want a retail copy too). If the game were good and I was sure I was getting the best version, I wouldn't mind so much...
Anyway, here's the Edge trashing, if anyone cares:

Nigga it's my favorite 3D brawler ever and I didn't even remember if there is a "counterattack" in it. Obviously the reasons I love it must have nothing to do with it. "LOOK IM TALKING ABOUT COMPLEX MOVES." Poser to the core.
P.S. I removed the TAB and MOB tags from the title because I think these versions have been cancelled since no one's talking about them. Good riddance.
