Top 20 PC Games on Windows XP 194
ApacheVE writes "Voodoo Extreme has up a story called Generation XP: Top 20 Games of the Last Generation. They call out some of the best games released in the Windows XP era, to mark the passing into the 'next generation' of PC gaming this past week. Some favorites include Call of Duty, Unreal Tournament 2004, Civilization IV, World of Warcraft and other titles that helped shape the era." Any titles you see missing from the list? The XP years were truly great, as far as PC titles went; how long do you think it will be before Vista has enough market penetration to make a difference in gaming?

So, thirteen of the twenty are available for the Mac, I'm surprised and pleased to say. If only I had more money and time for games...

Especially considering the reason you give.
The 360 version has massive control related issues. The resolution is a huge problem.
And the kicker: Show Stopper Bugs.
How can you possibly state that the bugs present in the PC version are a bigger problem than those on the 360? With the 360, you hit one of those bugs, and your game is over. And there are a LOT of these bugs.
On the PC:
a) patches. Patches fix bugs. Bugs go away. Gameplay gets better.
b) console. Console fixes or allows one to work around bugs and carry on with your game.
c) mods. Mods are what make Oblivion really shine.
You are the very first person I have run across that actually prefers the 360 version. That statement alone suggests I should take every game related statement of yours with a large dose of salt.
