What press conference? Here's my PC game montage

June 9th, 2011

PC games don't have an E3 press conference and probably never will. The reason? "E3 is a retail buyers show," says the PC Game Alliance. "Since PC purchases are mostly downloads now, it doesn't make sense." 

That doesn't mean there aren't any good PC games at E3, however. Far from it, in fact. Last year, the PC won more "best in show" game awards than any other platform. 

This year is particularly strong as well. So if there were a PC gaming press conference at E3 this year, these are some games that would make my sizzle reel:

  • BioShock Infinite
  • Batman: Arkham City
  • Dirt 3
  • Battlefield 3
  • Tomb Raider
  • Far Cry 3
  • Modern Warfare 3
  • Star Wars: Old Republic
  • Hitman: Absolution
  • From Dust
  • Skyrim
  • Rage
  • Trackmania: Canyons (thanks, PC Gamer)

What would you add?

Whoa Far Cry 3. I definitely want to play that. I can't wait for BioShock Infinite of course :D

What I really wish for is for Guild Wars 2 to finally be released.

New forums... Soon™

@pheonixknix GOOD VON!

I'm very excited for the developers that stepped up to make a great game. I'm dissapointed for those who simply released garbage to *please* a fanbase. And I'm hopeful for what developers will do with some new technology available to them.

That was a great trailer. I was kind of expecting a burn out on the series, but they seem to be continuing to make quality games.

It's a pretty good looking game,but when they showed some of the features (such as the executions that got you health back) it seemed like it would turn out to be a rather easy game.

well if you are a space marine in the story line you are basically almost the strongest solder in the game and when you do the executions there will probably be other guys shooting at you and taking your health away from you and you will not do that many executions because you can get a heavy bolter and rip them apart with it.the games is more meant to be fun than hard

PC will always be better and more versatile than game consoles.
