Modern Warfare 2

I'd go for cereal; put a bowl in front of your face, and splash your head down every time you wait for respawn. Wear swimming googles if you are on a instant-respawn server, and need to get sight back fast.
Chesire Cat:
Ahhh back to the dedicated server issue again :wink:

Very very few are PC only. And even then, after all the hype generated, how many of them actually make a major splash?
Why should developers continue catering to this shrinking minority? I appreciate the smaller releases for PC games, games like Braid. But the big budget big deal games arent coming as fast as they used to.

Jerry Holkins pretty much agrees with you in his most recent newspost. I also happen to agree, but he puts it so much better. The salient quote will be reproduced below.
--- Quote from: Jerry Holkins ---To read such lamentations, you'd get the impression that PC gamers still think they are the focus of the industry, when that hasn't been true for awhile. Indeed, hardcore gamers in general - and the dedicated PC enthusiast, which is a subset - haven't been the object of their desire for some time. I was under the impression this was well known, but it does require a willingness to perceive factual information, which is not a universal trait among cultists.

The thing is, the gaming industry ends up putting off computer gamers even more with ridiculous shit they're doing to prevent all of this piracy. Maybe they're just trying to kill computer gaming off entirely so that they won't feel guilty about not making a computer version of a game they're designing (unlikely their motivation, but it does seem to be going in this direction). Sure, we'll still have the small companies, and that'll be awesome, but RTS as a genre might be kind of on its way out, or at least RTS that has anything approximating a budget.
Chesire Cat:
I was always excited by the idea of Serious Sam. Middling budget but cheap as hell and wildly entertaining multiplayer type episodic content to be the future.
But I was ever so disappointed.
JD:
Valve doesn't appear to be abandoning the PC anytime soon.
