[PC, PS3, Mac, X360] Counter Strike: GO features cross-platform play but not on 360

[PC, PS3, Mac, X360] Counter Strike: GO features cross-platform play but not on 360
Valve has Counter-Strike: Global Offensive on show at PAX Prime this weekend, so a lot more fans have had a chance to go hands-on with the newest instalment of the genre-defining FPS.

During this time, some new information on the game has come out, including the PS3's continued use of Valve's Steamworks (such as that featured in this year's Portal 2) and the fact that PS3 users will be able to cross-platform play with users on PC and Mac platforms. What? You think it is unfair to pit the lowly dualshock against the mighty mouse and keyboard race? Never fear! Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will also support Move and mouse and keyboard on the PS3. There, that should definitely even out that battleground a lot more.

Xbox 360 users will be able to play on their standard controls with their Xbox 360 friends, Gabe still wants to implement Steamworks (and thus, cross-play) in the Xbox 360 version but Microsoft is too determined at keeping their online system all locked down.

Such a shame, really.
