Why are there some games that never come to PC? I got rid of my console recently but I really miss certain games like:

Madden NFL (recent versions)
Fight Night

So what's the reason we can't have these on PC?

I know there are lots of other games like this, so what games are you guys wishing would come to PC?

Uncharted series
Resistance series
GT5
Madden series

shame the PC doesnt have much in the way of sports and fighting games. I can only imagine how fun a Madden game with Crysis level graphics and co op multiplayer would be.
I have Madden 11 on PS3, but it looks worse than most PS3 games and i don't even think it has a multiplayer but i couldnt stand to play it long enough to find out.

I think Lost Odyssey was the only recent game I would've wanted on PC aside from what's mentioned on RPGs. Resistance would've been good. Madden can stay on consoles.

RPGs like Final Fantasy series.

VII and VIII are both on PC (have both PC and PSX copies of those), though honestly you get more out of emulating in this case. They got cranked through the Windows MIDI which sounded much worse than PS-Midi (eg. no One Winged Angel chorus) even when using the Sound Blaster AWE they supported. "Consolitis" has been going on longer than AT users would have you believe.

I actually played VIII on the PC, VII I played back in 1997 or whenever it came out on a PS1, lol. I played XII on a PS2, but, having, in the last few years, learned how to build a good PC, that takes up all my $$ and I can't also get a PS3 :(

I don't mind consolitis and/or console porting for single player RPGs like this, it's multiplayer shooters that I don't want to see consolized...

Demons Souls
Dark Souls
Heavy Rain
Red Dead Redemption

That's all I can think of for now.

I think it's interesting there are apparently a lot of people who want Gran Turismo and Forza on the PC. As someone who doesn't own a PS3 or 360, are they really that good? I probably would've put those games on my list, but because there's already a pretty good selection of racing games for PC, I don't feel like I need Gran Turismo or Forza. Games like Demon's Souls and Heavy Rain, on the other hand, are very unique and special experiences that can only be found on console. There's a lot of racing games though, and many racing games are fairly similar. What's special about Gran Turismo and Forza?

I would have liked to see a number of Rare and Nintendo games being released for the PC, not necessarily at the exact same console version's release date. It could have been released a few years later I guess, but yeah ultimately having the following titles on the PC as well would have been nice, for me anyway:

Killer Instinct 1 & 2
Donkey Kong Country series
Perfect Dark
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Super Mario Bros. series
Super Mario Kart series
The Legend of Zelda series
Star Fox series
Metroid series

All of them better played with a good game pad of course. And I know about emulators, but here I'm referring about official PC version releases, had those companies (and a few others) been releasing their games for DOS/Windows as well. I would have also liked to see some good side-scrolling beat 'em ups, like Battletoads (or in the same veins), Double Dragon or Streets of Rage for example.
