Every few years i dump a bucket full of 5 dollar bills into the great retail machine and build myself a computer and Its almost time again to get a new one.
With owning an Xbox i have found that i rarely play PC Games except for MMOs. Having just recovered from a slight WOW Addiction, i jumped knee-deep back into EVE-Online.
The only other games i found to be worth-while playing on PC when compared to Console is RTSes (EndWar excepted, man Voice-Activated control mechanism for Xbox is awesome!)
Another Recent Game, that i subsequently got all my friends addicted to was SPORE. Great concept and execution, i still haven't finished the game, i am too busy exploring and quelling war-declarations to really quest properly.
FPSes i find better with a controller, now i have played COD1 and FEAR on my PC and i played COD4 and (finished) FEAR on my console. With the exception of the awesomeness of getting in the zone in COD1 and Unreal (suck energy blasts noob) for PC, I find that you are surgical when everyone is reduced to a Controller.
One game i wish i discovered back when computers were older was System Shock 2, I hear so much about it but i'll be damned if i can get it to run on Vista Ultimate.
Some older fun games had to have been Duke Nukem 3D, Uplink and Tie-Fighter (rocking the logitech wingman joystick).
Nowadays i don't see the PC being a viable gaming platform with the exception of MMOs because MMOing on a console is just messed up.
