I don't think PC has any must haves anymore thanks to MS bringing the PC devs over to the console realm. Blizzard is even looking like they want in on the console action now.


You're kidding right? You might have skipped the whole kickstarter revolution. :)
The PC is getting the first publicly funded AAA game ever in the form of Star Citizen, you can't forget the kickstarted funded Planetary Annihialation, Torment, Project Eternity, Wasteland 2, Elite: Dangerous either, just amongst a few,

Although true Blizzard is bringing over Diablo 3 to consoles, StarCraft and WarCraft will probably remain PC centric as they don't lend themselves too well to console controllers. (If you ever played StarCraft on the Ninentdo 64, you will understand completely.)
And if Diablo 3 on consoles doesn't match the PC's 15+ million copies sold, then, well, companies go where the money is.

On top of that League of Legends is currently the worlds most played game (PC only) and the worlds most costliest game ever developed is StarWars: The Old Republic (PC Only).

You can't forget all the Valve games either which are *always* top notch, then include Civilization, The Settlers, Heroes of Might and magic, Titan Quest, X3 series, Company of Heroes, Arma 3, DayZ, Dota 2, Homeworld 3 (Aka. Homeworld: Shipbreakers), Rome 2 and the Total War series, Sins of a Solar Empire just from what I can name off the top of my head.
The PC isn't exactly "barren" for games, heck you have several decades large library of exclusives to even choose from. :)

Granted "must have" games is pretty much down to personal taste, for example I see no "must have" games on any of the consoles, other than Halo and Fable, but that's my personal gaming taste, others will surely differ.


Sorry to disappoint you but I haven't heard of any of those AAA games. Most AAA titles have the budget to match and not stay behind the curtain. I am just saying the companies that have crafted the PC realm to what it is today whom still command the lionshare of the history and respect have also gone multiplat tot he console realm. I have Steam, but I haven't really seen very much that is a must have, sorry. I'll look some of those games up later. Mind you, I used to be a PC gamer (75% of the time) when i was much younger until the first Xbox came out. All of my friends had Xboxes so it forced me to shift over. I eventually dropped the XBox, but because a lot of games that were on PC were there and Halo was no longer coming to the Mac it was easy to switch over. In my household I had both a Mac and a custom built PC too.

You are just a weak console pesant.. watch out for Trogdoor

OT:

Mount&Blade Warband - looks like shit but the combat is rewarding as hell. fun game. Floris mod is great when you get tired of the standard game.
Psychonauts - just.. get it
The Binding of Isaac - awesome rougelike ish game
F.T.L. - awesome rougelike ish game
Dungeons Of Dredmor - Awesome rougelike
Monkey island 1, 2 (and 3, not on steam though) - Some of the best adventure games created
Shadowrun Returns - Has it's flaws but is a solid RPG game.
The witcher (series) - Awesome gritty 'mature' RPG
