GTA3 on the PC.
Gamespot are running an interview with Rockstar, but the 2nd page of the interview is missing.
Here's what there is though

--

GS: Is the mature nature of the game going to remain intact in the port to the PC?

DH: No. In the PC version you play as a cuddly toy who was hurt and left out to die, and now nobody loves you. You go on a series of wacky adventures through toy land before finding a lonely little girl who makes you realize you had everything you needed all along, which was good friends and a song in your heart. Of course it is going to remain the same. It is the [same] game.

GS: Funny stuff. From the screenshots we've seen, it's clear that you've improved on the resolution of the PlayStation 2 version. Are you doing anything else to take advantage of PC hardware?

Leslie Benzies: Yes, the textures are much higher resolution in the PC version. They also have more colors. We've also allowed the player to configure things like draw distance for all buildings, pedestrians, and cars in the city. The player can also adjust the number of cars and pedestrians on the streets. Another addition that takes advantage of the extra memory available on a PC are the replays, which enable you to play back the last 30 seconds of gameplay and watch the action again from different camera angles. The replay is also saved to disk, so you can save any cool sequences or even e-mail them to your friends. The audio effects have been really enhanced in the game also. We fully support surround sound systems so you really feel like you're in the action. The sounds happen all around you and enable you to pinpoint where they are coming from--cops approaching from the right, helicopter closing in overhead...

HAHAHAHAHA
No need to even think I need you anymore, PS2. Any games I played on you are now on the PC and Xbox.
Go away silly black box.

Oh, and the Gamecube for £100?
Pfffffttt..quality machine that.

You got rid of your PS2 then?

The replays are a nice idea, but again, my PC is too sucky to even contemplate purchasing this.

Yep. Got me an Xbox and sold my PS2.
Why?
Because the only games I bothered to play are either available on the PC or, if not already, coming out on the Xbox.

Hmmm... more and more does having a Gamecube and PC seem the ultimate choice. :0)

Think about it. Never mind all the cutesy games, but in order to play everything, have a PC, and a Gamecube. Anything good on X-Box or PS2 seems to be coming out on PC. Serious gaming for the PC, and fun for console. Like consoles should be. So you can get drunk and not have to follow the plot.

And you ain't got no Skies of Arcadia. And you'll think you play decent games for the rest of your life, you logo of naive you.

But damn, Clutch rules. So you're kinda forgiven. For the moment.

No MGS2 on X-Box or PC. No Skies Of Arcadia on X-Box or PC.

And my PC's too crap to play any of them anyway...although should be getting new one soon, building it myself. Must remember to talk to Reaper. {:)
