Pc to console ports are usually pretty bad. If you are going to make a Pc gaming article, definitely do the "Games that defined" idea rather than just listing exclusives only.

I think the list with the same name and the same idea as is the name of this topic would be more interesting and..far more useful for us, console gamers.

and when I don´t know if the game was ported or not, I type to google something like "Doom wikipedia" and if it was ported there is list of all platforms etc.. so try this guys, and you can be surprised sometimes :)

i thought the AI in counter strike on the xbox was great. it just doesnt suit itself well to being played wiht anything but a mouse and keyboard.

Yeah, Diablo 1 on the Playstation was crap. And Starcraft was ported to the Nintendo 64. Don't even bother with it.

The Saturn version of Command and Conquer was AWESOME, but as w/ any game in this genre you NEED a mouse.

All I'm saying is that a list of exclusives won't have much in it as alot of games have already been ported to consoles, like for instance something you already mentioned yourself, Doom.

A "Best Pc Games That Never Made It to Consoles" wouldn't do because alot of games that are known and loved as Pc titles (such as Doom) have already been ported to consoles.

As I said before, the console ports aren't very good, which is why it should still be on a Pc games list, only with a different title.
