If Diablo III was indeed coming out in 2009 I would be prepared to agree with the title, but it is in fact not coming out in 2009. Zero chance. I will wager on this.

(SCII reportedly began in 2003; DIII in 2005. SCII was announced in 2007; DIII 2008. SCII comes out (partially!) in 2009; DIII, 2010 at the earliest.)

shio, your constant exaggeration of the greatness of the PC gaming scene (in all ways) is quite remarkable. Listening to you on the subject is like listening to MikeB talk about the Cell. Entertaining sometimes, and you can certainly learn quite a bit, but there is no doubt that it is total propaganda to be taken with a mountain of salt when you say anything beyond well-sourced facts.

 

If you get a wager in on Diablo 3 give me a holler, I want in on it as well.

 

P.S. Teh POWA OF TEH CELL!!!111

I removed 'Eduardo the Samurai Toaster' because apparently is WiiWare only.

However I just added Saints Row 2, coming to PC this weekend I believe.

"so here is some better known exclusives (by genre):"

shio, how exactly do you figure Braid, Mirror's Edge, etc. are PC exclusives?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Save for a few gems, this list is really not that impressive. Sorry PC elitists, no one cares. Besides, I can't believe your list includes games like Mirror's Edge and Saint's Row 2 that console gamers got months ago. I'll try not to choke when I laugh too hard.

There's a hell of alot more examples. Why do you think PC has always the best lineup every year?

Because you are a partisan PC fanboy who wants the world to constantly upgrade their rigs and hope the games they buy work on them.  You want that to happen, so that if someone can't get the game to work on their PC, you can berate them as a clueless loser who is too stupid to figure it out.

Based on this reality, it is why YOU conclude the PC ALWAYS has the best lineup.

Half-Life, Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft (UT would be on here if you completely erase from your memory that UT3 EVER existed). If a new game that has any of those is released in a given year, it really doesn't matter what the consoles have. You can stack MGS4, LBP, SSBB, MKWii, Gears, any FF, ANY game, and it will still be a Technical K.O. 30 seconds into round 1 in favor of the PC. Since I see Stacrcraft in 2009 and a Diablo game in 2010, the winners are already set for those years. I'm hoping for a Half-Life 3 in 2011, I'm REALLY hoping, but I doubt it.
