Nice.  This is a first-person game, which means it is far more suited to the PC, and looking around with the analog stick is going to be akward and frustrating.  The PC version comes with the toolkit so you can add content to the game. You can add new NPC&#8217;s, quests,  or entire towns and share them with your friends. The PC version will support the fantastic keyboard technology, which lets you type letters and symbols directly into the game instead of playing hunt-and-peck with the controller.  Thats a lot of features to give up for $10 <i>more<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get it.
