A Top 10 PC Games of 2012 list was recently published on IGN, and I noticed quite a few comments complaining that most of the games were multiplatform. So here you go, a list of games that will only be available on PC. The list below is very far from comprehensive, but includes many games currently expected to be released in 2012. Some titles, like Diablo III, might show up on other platforms, but for now are PC exclusives.
It's also possible not all these games will be completed before the year is over, but we can hope.
Quick quote: "One of the main goals of the project is to deliver a more accessible single-player story campaign that gradually ramps up the challenge instead of tossing you into the deep end and expecting you to stay afloat."
Quick quote: "Blacklight: Retribution might end up being the most visually impressive free-to-play game out there when it launches."
Quick quote: "When it comes to sweet questions like "why dodge an incoming missile if you can punch it back at the metal jerk that fired it at you in the first place," Cobalt has all the right answers."
Quick quote: "Diablo is basically item porn. If you're not hard-wired to obsess over acquiring a cool-looking armor set and min-maxing your stats, you might not appreciate what Diablo has to offer."
Quick quote: "It's about two teams of five heroes beating each other up until one can destroy the base of the other. Though the goal is simple, the actual gameplay experience is anything but."
Quick quote: "The game's visuals are simple and identifiable, and for the most part I found it fairly easy to differentiate between my artillery and my tanks."
Quick quote: "It also has totally sweet jetpacks, is set in a large open world, is free to play and cures lupus. Okay, that last one was a lie, but the rest is true."
Quick quote: "…someone from the government in 2060 travelled back in time to give the Union future technology to balance things out."
Quick quote: "Guild Wars 2 already poured me a cup of tea, inviting me in with a smarter way of doing this whole MMO thing."
Quick quote: "Mech combat games aren't common these days, so it's great that teams like Adhesive Games are working to keep the genre alive."
Quick quote: "Jagged Alliance: Back in Action takes the cult-classic strategy game Jagged Alliance 2 and brings it (somewhat) into the current decade."
Quick quote: "There's always a problem. Even after assembling the Knights of the Roundtable and saving Britannia from imminent doom, the threats to King Arthur have only just begun."
Quick quote: "We still have yet to see MechWarrior Online running, but the early details make it sound like there will be plenty to do outside of shooting at foes."
Quick quote: "Microsoft is taking its most hardcore piece of gaming software out of the hands of a niche audience and giving everyone a chance to play."
Quick quote: "Neverwinter is shifting from the co-operative multiplayer game that was announced last year and into full-fledged, free-to-play MMO territory."
Curious to see what games will only be available on PC this ...
