    Dynasty warriors series has at least one port for the PC, there's onimusha 3 for the PC which is a good port from the consoles. I can't count the number of games based on China's 3 kingdoms, KOEI has published so many for the PC that you're spoilt for choice.

    There was a Samurai-themed Diablo-type game some years ago, but I forgot its name.

    How about Prince of Persia? The new ad on tv looks good. I'm not sure if you're looking for a more eastern Asian theme though or if this is sufficient.

    Jade Empire is pretty amazing. Bioware has to be the undisputed KING of gaming companies. I'm struggling to thing of a game they put out that wasn't awesome as well as a huge best seller!
