Online Multi-platform games

[jedi940]

My friend has a 360 and I am a computer gamer. I am trying to find games that we can play together online. He refuses to play on the computer and I suck at console gaming. I was wondering if Call of Duty 4 multiplayer is a cross-platform game. If anyone knows of any games that are it would be great.

I would think there are very few (if any) other than browser fronted games. Synchronising the software builds to ensure no unfair advantages / exploits etc between consoles and PC would be incredibly difficult. Unpatched PC versions of online games are often not compatible with the patched versions of PC games without factoring in consoles... so I'm guessing not many cross platform games available.

the only one i know of is shadowrun, but apparently that doesn't have much longevity

i'll have to check out shadowrun. I suppose it would be difficult to do given all the patching pc games go through. It still would be nice though.
