Well done, and thank you for saying what has to be said.
How hard could it be to copy the XBox 360 Live interface to Vista? Hell, replace Windows Media Center with Live for Windows. Run Live, cool full screen interface, gamepad or mouse/keyboard driven.
I like the way they designed Halo 2, when you click install the game copies the Halo 2 applcation and starts up while loading the rest of the game to your system. From the time you insert the CD and type in your key it takes 1-2 minutes to get to the opening screen. Great idea. Nothing worse than waiting for a game to install.
Unfortunately the opening screen is where the "fun" ends. Forcing the player to setup a Live for Windows account, and clunky interface.
I didn't want to setup an account, I just wanted to play a bit, and I was determined to get around setting up an account. I finally figured it out, but it took forever, and the fact that the game uses the new XNE environment means that everything looks like it was designed for an XBox 360 gamepad, (A) SELECT, (B) BACK, and press (>) START to continue is littered throughout the game.
A FPS on a PC doesn't really scream "Gamepad" to me. Doesn't help that there are 4 mouse sensitivity settings, and 3 seems too sluggish and 4 moves differently horizontally vs. vertically. Maybe if I had a widescreen monitor hooked up, but come on Microsoft, 3 years you had to work on the mouse controls for this game.
Also wanted to say NICE USE OF BOLD throughout the article.
