PC games have had an on-again, off-again relationship with numerous genres throughout its lifespan. Early games were of course limited in scope and relied mainly on text and ASCII art, making role-playing style games prevalent. Soon point-and-click graphic adventures took over, followed by shooters and strategy games, and most recently MMORPG’s.

New PC games are still largely dominated by shooters, MMORPG’s and strategy games, though games across other genres can still be found, including sports games, single player RPG’s and adventure games.

On the verge of seeing release are many highly anticipated new PC games that will continue to push the envelope and raise the bar for graphics and immersion. First up is Mass Effect, an improved version of the somewhat controversial, highly successful and critically acclaimed Xbox 360 RPG from Canada’s Bioware, no stranger to PC games.

The popular The Sims series will see new releases and expansions in the future, as will other established franchises such as Alone in the Dark, Samurai Warriors, Neverwinter Nights, Lost Planet, Devil May Cry, Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Heroes of Might and Magic.

Not to be left out are the many promising stand-alone games coming shortly, such as Dracula: Origin, WorldShift, Hei$t, The Tomorrow War, A Vampyre Story, Dimensity, The Political Machine 2008 and The Abbey.

While there’s been a consistently raging debate for many years over which format is better or more powerful, PC or home console, there’s little doubt that new PC games being played on top of the line PC’s are sights to behold that consoles have trouble matching.

Perhaps not so much at the moment of a new console’s launch such as during the recent launches of the Xbox 360 and PS3, which were arguably more powerful game machines than PC’s for a short lived time, but as static consoles age while PC technology continues to progress, this gap becomes slightly more apparent.
