PC Gaming is dead.
Blizzard and Valve are the only ones supporting it big time. Former PC supporter are looking for a way to get on consoles for a reason (crytec, iD and even valve with Left 4 Dead, orange box etc.)
PC graphics do look better than console graphics, but not as big as it should. Last gen, the lack of HDTVs made PC games look MUCH better, this gen consoles made a nice move forward with better resolutions.

I dunno. For example The Witcher came out, and it's PC only, and it's one of the best RPGs out there for a LONG LONG time. No rpg thi gen has been as awesome as this. Probably because all rpgs get watered down for the kiddy audiences of the consoles. I guess kinda how Wii owners get treated with their games that come down from the HD consoles.

I'm a big fan of WRPG's and I don't like the Witcher.
Fallout 3 is a much much better game. Or to name a PC exclusive WRPG from the last few years: Gothic 3

The Witcher is the best WRPG in the last few years, so I agree with vlad. But there are tons more awesome RPGs that Consoles didn't get:
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer
Drakensang
Mount & Blade
King's Bounty: The Legend
Mr. Robot
Guild Wars: Eye of the North
all these are worth a look (especially Mask of the Betrayer, Mount & Blade and Kings Bounty)

Worth a look - yes, but far from best WRPGs.

I tend to find that PC reviews (especially from PC exclusive mags) are far harsher than on consoles. When you have the huge back-catalogue of games to compare to that you find on the PC, its difficult for a PC game to have rave reviews unless it really is something special. In genres where the PC traditionally excels (FPS, WRPG and RTS) this is especially the case.
Examples:
CoD4: 94 HD consoles vs 92 PC
Mass Effect: 91 Consoles vs 89 PC
Halo 1: 97 console vs 83 PC
Halo 2: 95 console vs 72 PC
KoToR: 94 console vs 93 PC
Gears of War: 94 console vs 87 PC
Of course there are exceptions and this is somewhat dependent on the porting (Halo 1&2 especially were poor and late ports), but I honestly feel a larger % of PC games have their average knocked down by PC exclusive critics.
