    Games you want on PC! Games you don't care if console exclusive!

    Port it to PC!

    Limbo. Limbo will not be coming to PC... WHY?!!? It was made for 360, I can't imagine porting it to PC would take much and the game screams, PC! It's the most baffling decision I've seen in gaming, like forever! If there was a game that should be console ported to PC, it's Limbo.

    Red Dead Redemption: I personally couldn't care less. But for all the other PC gamers who do care, I'll vote for it.

    God of War III, yeah I want it on PC, but it's Sony. And I can't think of an angrier and lame gaming company than Sony. So that is never happening.

    Heavy Rain. Someone will have to nuke Japan before Sony will port it to PC.

    Splatterhouse. Just because it looks hilarious good fun.

    Keep your console game!

    Ratchet and Clank. Just seeing the commercials annoy me.

    Uncharted. Don't care. Really couldn't, PS3 fanboys can keep it. And reading the reviews and such, just sounds like a Fary Cry ripoff, everything from mad conspiracy, jungle, weird creatures etc. As if I need another 3rd person cover shooter. The only 3rd Person shooter I can tolerate is ME2, since at least the plot was decent.

    Killzone 2 and 3. It's a COD clone for PS3. The gunplay and graphics, the blood etc, they all look like COD. Maybe a futuristic, darker colors, but that doesn't change that it's a COD clone. A linear, corridor shooter, yeah we need more of those on PC. And more zombie nazi, so creative. Killzone just amazes me with their originality. Gamespot's review raving about Killzone 2 and 3's technical achievements are the only good thing about the game so far that I've seen. It's a great laugh. A game that looks barely better than an average UE3 game, being an achievement? Yeah that cracks me up. Game with no POM, no bump mapping, everything flat, just pretty art is an achievement?

    In that case, I'll keep a look out on Steam, I have no idea why I didn't notice that.

    You may want to play Gears of War 1 on PC. You may change your opinion. It's one of the most sluggish, clunky shooters I've ever played, it's so frustrating I doubt you'll get past the 2nd checkout before quitting. The guns are awful, the aiming is terrible. Aiming for a dudes head is nearly impossible since the crosshair is size of their entire body. And on hard mode, their heads are bullet cushions. Also the running and controls are really clunky. You use the space bar for everything. It's awful.

    I'd like to see decent ports or console games rebuilt for pc... instead of those terrible ports we have been witnessing in the past couple of years (i.e. GTA series).

    Dont agree with Killzone 2 being CoD'ish, it actually has recoil and gun weight.
    Killzone 3 i can agree with.

    But the games i would like for PC would be Super Smash Bros. and PS2 Final Fantasy games.
    But at least they can be achieved with emulation. :D
    (Wii + homebrew ftw?)

    Gears of War 2/3 and Red Dead Redemption off the top of my head.

    We might get RDR at some point because R* usually comes through for PC just takes them a decent amount of time.

    I know it's a bit old, but Final Fantasy X. You can play it using an emulator but that's not the point

    I hear that LA Noir is going to be console-only, which gave me a giant sadface.

    On a side note, I also which developers would stop with the terrible jobs developing games for consoles and porting them to PCs. "PRESS START TO BEGIN", I'm looking at you!

    Halo: Reach. Throughly enjoyed the game on xbox 360 but couldn't help wondering how the game would look with DX 11 support and high resolution textures.

    Red Dead Redemption for sure. Killzone 3, Uncharted 2, Gears of War 2 and 3 just to name a few. I can play though since I own both consoles but would like to see these games in 1920x1200 resolution :)
