    HI everyone,
    Here is the problem . I try to live online with gears of war against my friend who does have the game for xbox 360. I did not able to set it up to able to play with him. Did anyone encounter that problem. I follow the instruction it gives me on the screen when i got the invite from my friend. Anyways i will try it after Christmas again and see if it works.

    I thought the game was cross platform. That's one of the main reason i bought the game.

    Nope, sorry :( PC Games for Windows use "Windows Live" while 360 games use "Xbox Live." So far none of them are cross platform. But hey, it's still supposed to be a really good single player, and you can still go online, just not with your 360 buddies. It's a bummer, but at least it's not a total loss, right? ;)

    Shadowrun is cross platform with PC and 360, that's about it. I also heard months back that Team Fortress 2 was going to be PC/360 cross platform but I dont know if they ever pulled that one off.
