I'm mainly a PC gamer but I'm also a console fan (any platform, though I'm partial to the Wii). In a spirit of cross-plaform unity, post any console game you would like to see on the PC, or any PC game you wish console gamers can enjoy. It's not that impossible anymore. Bioware and Capcom are making nearly all their games multiplatform nowadays, Burnout is getting a PC version ('bout time) and the Xbox 360 is full of RTSs. Here are mine:
Console:
Ninja Gaiden: The modern ones. Seeing my friend acing DMC3 on his PC at the highest difficulty just reminded me of these.
Soul Calibur: Well, even Street Fighter 4 is getting a PC release.
Metal Gear Solid 3 & 4: Since the first two made it to PC, why did the much improved 3 skipped us? Now there's a fourth game already. If they are making a PC MGS3, it better be with a new engine just to make up for the lateness.
The 2D Castlevanias: What, there's no place for 2D side scrollers on the PC? Need I remind you of Abuse, Jazz Jackrabbit (made by Epic!) and half the indie games you can download (N in particular)? Odin Sphere also shows that 2D games can be very, very beautiful.
The Force Unleashed: Seriously, is Lucasarts crazy? How can there not be a PC version of this?
Blitz - The League: Now that there's no PC Madden, how about this game? In fact, it's like trading a Big Mac for The Best Thing Ever!!!
PC:
The Witcher: All you need to know is that this is an ultraviolent RPG fortified with good ol' T&A. Blood and boobs all over. Horrible dialogue, though.
Anachronox: It's a console RPG, but made on the PC. The mouse pointer is an in-game object, and later an entire planet you adventured on shrunk itself to become a party member with the planet's inhabitants commenting on your exploits.
Planescape: Best RPG evaaah!!!!!! Dialogue-heavy with your stats and class affecting them. Party members include a floaing skull, a celibate succubus and flaming psychopath.
Crysis: Even with parred down graphics it can still be fun. Punch jeeps, kill with tree trunks and chickens, be invisible or just plain invincible. Snipe foes or hurl furniture at them.
Dragon Age: Bioware RPG, nuff said. Or to be more specific, one set in a world where racism is rife and magic is a controlled substance.
Dawn of War/Company of Heroes: The most immersive RTS experience where for once tactics are a necessity instead of just a suggestion. Also the most cinematic as any RTS can get (check out the melee combat in DoW).
