    Fate/Unlimited Codes, they already have a port for the PSP, how hard can it be to bring it to the PC? Playing it on a emulator isn't quite the same as a proper port.

    They didn't make it to the PC because the PC already had games that did the same things but better ;)

    As for games I'd want, I'm thinking some of the Ratchet and Clank series. I love those games.

    Not going to argue that point, but they're still fun games, and some of the most fun I've ever had was in Halo PC multiplayer. Halo 2 was kinda poorly done for PC, though.

    You gotta admit, Halo does have a pretty unique blend of old-school run & gun arena-style shooting, and vehicle combat. I'd say the closest real PC game to that style of gameplay is Unreal Tournament 2004...still one of my favorite games of all time, but sadly it's more or less dead online.

    Dirt 2 and Dirt 3 are pretty limited in the realm of what kind of racing you want to do (Rallying) and the Dirt series is not that great as they really made the rally cars feel more arcade-ish than what the previous series did prior to Dirt.

    Forza Motorsport or even Gran Turismo has true car handling and physics as well as a huge breadth of racing series and styles.

    I did not know that

    I tell you what I hate about most racing game however, they have less than 16 cars on track in each race. I don't get it, the more car (even AI) the funnier it is to race.

    EA Sports NHL series.

    Yes, it used to be on PC. then in 2007, current gen consoles got a brand new game, engine, controls, concept, whhile PC got a re-hash of NHL2006 with updated rosters. Then .... they stopped making it for PC.

    For Shame EA Sports ... For Shame ...

    Shadow of The Colossus (The reason I bought a PS2), could you even imagine it in DX11?!?!?! I think my head is exploding. God of War series, Kratos in DX11 full HD? Yes please! Other than that everything that never makes it past consoles usually didn't for a good reason. Halo: Combat Devolved? Gears of Snore? What a waste of a wish if it ever came true. Garbage should stay were it belongs.

    Well, RDR will work because it is an spin-off of the engine behind GTA IV. I would also vote for it or the FF series :D

    Panzer Dragoon Zwei and SAGA with updated graphics.

    The movie industry has soooo many remakes, why can't the gaming industry do the same. I'd love to see some old classics with modern graphics.

    Infamous 2, I don't actually own the game (too many games to play anyway) but I really enjoyed the first one and I would love to see what the pc community could do with the mod tools. That game could last forever

    Oh, forgot... Alan Wake.

    I know that many ppl here would agree that it wasn't as good as expected, but I was still disappointed when I found out that it wasn't gonna come out on the PC... despite all the hype before when the first quads from Intel came out and demoed the engine. I remember I was stunned.

    Man so many to list, RDR of course is on the top.
    Uncharted would be awesome!
    I always wanted Socom on the PC for mp, but that will never happen.
    God of War 3 as previously mentioned @ 2560x1600 would look downright insane.
    Shadow of the Colossus with proper eyefinity support, holy crap that would be amazing.

    Forza and GT to the PC wouldn't be too bad to add to the other arcade/sim"ish" racing games, but there are "true" sims out there that on these games. They may not offer every car Forza and GT do, but iRacing and LFS hold the true sim racing crown imo.
