people have been predicting the end of PC gaming for 20 years

edit: ugh, haven't had my coffee yet :x

As a PC gamer. I would suspect the Author to be a very big Blizzard fan. A couple games for the PC the author didn't mention for Fall are...

FFXIV and possibly Natural Selection 2 and Tactical Intervention (true Counter Strike sequel)

Which platform "wins" depends solely on one's gaming taste. However there have recently (or to be more precise post this year's E3) a lot of talk how PC might just be the best from big sites. But I think that's just reaction to E3 showing, which was very casual centric. PC gaming is steadily turning into the last stronghold of hardcore gaming and veteran gaming press responds to it well and flock to it in defense from all the motion-controled nonsense modern consoles are putting. It's not objective and doesn't consider the "big picture", but it's understandable. Imagine you go hyped to E3 just to see some asian girl petting a tiger. After something like that a walk through PC booths filled with games like Old Republic, Shogun 2 or Civ 5 must have felt like getting into safe heaven. Especially since core multiplats are nowadays vastly superior on PC anyway

Meh. Id say the Wii has the best exclusive lineup since Im not into WoW anymore.

I refuse to take anything Gamesradar has to say seriously.

Wooosh! Did you see that? It was your credability flying out of the window ;).

Yeah it will be this year, the servers are being prepared for it already

OT: I agree with them, PC will win 2010.

Hmm, this is a tough one.

In terms of bringing in new people, the PC will fail, because games like starcraft and WoW have an established user base, and I think alot of people out there that don't play this games will not jump on board with these new releases.

However, Kinect, Move, and the 3DS will pull in thousands of new gamers. So in this sense, PC will not "win" autumn 2010.

BUT! Because these PC games mentioned are being releaseed this year, both highly anticipated by the fanbase, they will sell staggering amounts, I'll bet on that. So I think PC could win in terms of overall game sales this autumn, that's not even taking into account all the other superior titles the PC will offer (Crysis 2... please deliver!)

The PC always wins. I don't see how this is news :?shakmaster13

i went into pc games because of people saying this and i was extreamly dissapointed

Somebody needs a common sense, logic and math lesson, and a big, hard one.

PC wins every year. This isn't really that surprising.

You should see some of the stuff he comes out with, so i can understand why he gets flamed now.

Who cares who wins what . Other than fanboys in system wars

To me Pc has the most interesting games coming this year and apart civilization V gamesradar article missed a few gems

Elemental War of Magic ( i can say i anticipate this as much as Starcraft 2)

Natural selection

Patrician IV ( addicting management game )

Disciples III: Renaissance

Drakensang: The River of Time

King's Bounty: Crossworlds ( imo the best turned based rpg series out there and each of the previous games offer more than 30-40 hours of fun )

Amnesia: The Dark Descent ( from penumbra devs need i say more)

Naumachia – Space Warfare

and of course the new Fallout version that matters . The version that will allow mods to be created

i think DC online will be alot bigger than people expect.most who play city of heroes/champions will at least try it.alot of the people my kids and i play wow with are waiting for it as well,at least until old republic comes out.

Steam is not coming to PS3. Just SteamWorks for Portal 2, and possibly other games. Only offers a few features of what Steam actually does, and does not offer the Steam Store.

OT: PC usually has excellent years, with very few drab ones.

What a lame article written by an obvious pc fanboy. WoW get a new expansion pack every other year, only SC2 is notable. He also missed L.A. Noire, a major console exclusive. His article is only further proof of two things:

1. Big-budget pc exclusives are almost entirely RTS and MMO

2. PC-only gamers have insecurity issues

I only get envious of other platforms if the games that get are games that I would actually buy. Since MMO's and RTS are essentially non existent genre's to me, I can't say I care much about the PC's line up this Fall

L.A. noire isnt coming out this year, and your missing Civ 5 (not to mention several others) which are part of a very large and very well reviewed series.

The consoles get skipped on most Strategy, Indie, MMOs and lets face it, when was the last time there was a console exclusive RPG that matched up to the Witcher, or the upcoming Witcher 2? or Diablo 3? Fable 3 ... oh wait :S.....

Mystic-G

but he is right in terms of hours. This addon and new sequel will probably more consume than all consoles exclusives together.

I am never surprised when PC wins. I am always surprised to see that others are surprised that PC won.

PC should be disqualified for turning Kotor 3 into an MMO. codezer0
