I kind of wanted to finish Gears of War 2 and 3. I suppose the 360 will be on sale for like 100 dollars someday.

Metroid Prime - with KB/Mouse support. Great art direction.

Oh jeez, how come I didn't think of this? Metroid Prime 1, 2, and 3 would be amazing on PC. Insta-purchase right there.

What if: Retro Studios announces the Metroid Prime trilogy for PC, remastered with HD graphics, released on Steam. Oh god. I would jizz in my pants.

Meh. After playing MP3 on the Wii I came to the conclusion that M/K controls would make absolutely no difference. Accuracy is useless since all you shots move so slow.

Give me a Metroid Prime game designed for a platform where accuracy is possible, and I'll be interested.

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.

Uncharted series would be awesome on PC

I played them on PS3 with the FragFX and i can attest to the fact that uncharted would be awesome on PC.

I really don't mind playing adventure games on mouse and keyboard at all.

Is FragFX make console gameplay like pc? You can use mouse with this game?

I used to have the old wired version, and it worked decent. I got a newer wireless version and it was complete garbage. I wouldn't really recommend any of their products anymore. There are some products out there at allow you to use keyboard and mouse for any PS3 game. I think they cost like 200 bucks though. Can't remember the name. One of my friends swears by it.

red dead redemption

forza or gran tourismo
silent hill
halo 3

The only modern console games I was ever interested in playing was shadow of the colossus (nearly bought a PS2 just for that) and the god of war series.

All Gran Turismo and Forza series.

Definitely this. There needs to be better racing/driving games on PC. There hasn't been much lately. I tried Grid and Dirt 2 but I quickly lost interest. The original Need For Speed's were much more fun.
