Which PC devs have gotten console game design right so far?

With the 360 attracting its fair share of former and current PC devs, xboxer takes a look at how successful their first endeavors in next-gen console land have been.

Epic Games- Gears of War

Epic Games managed to translate their gameplay over brilliantly to the 360. The fast-paced and frenetic gameplay of the Unreal series is in evidence here, with the game dumping you straight into the combat. The cover system and the weapons map out fantastically to the 360 controller, making the cover system feel natural and intuitive. OK, so the game was basically providing us with the same thirty seconds of fun over and over again. But that's not a million miles away from what they did on the PC beforehand. Not revolutionary perhaps, but a real blast and executed to console perfection.
