Here's the first reviews of two currently popular games:-
F.E.A.R. - http://pc.ign.com/articles/657/657310p1.html
Quake 4 - http://pc.ign.com/articles/658/658263p1.html
From the Quake 4 review it seems that my worst fears are being realised. PC games are indeed being "dumbed" down so as to appeal to console owners (in Quake 4's case the X360.)
I would like you all to say a short prayer tonight to your own gods asking that Infinity Ward haven't screwed up COD 2 for the same reasons!
