We love the PC as much as more than anyone ever, but even we’ll admit that consoles play host to some top-notch games. Two of our recent favorites? Resident Evil 5 and Red Faction: Guerrilla. However, for those of you who haven’t started roaming the street corners, searching for some console lovin’, there’s still hope. Both games are making their PC debuts this September.

First up, Resident Evil 5’s shambling our way on September 14, with support Nvidia’s 3D Vision hardware. You’ll also have access to new costumes, and an upgraded version of the game’s Mercenaries mode.

Red Faction, meanwhile, is computerizing the revolution on September 15. Unlike its undead-obliterating cousin, Red Faction’s not really bringing anything new to the PC. Who cares, though? It’s a game that allows and encourages the systematic destruction of a small country’s worth of buildings. You’ll buy it, and you will never regret anything ever again.  

So, what are your purchasing plans? Resident Evil, Red Faction, both, or neither?

I would like Demos. I absolutely love resident evil, but 4 sucked on PC, looked bad and no mouse and keyboard was stupid....i just bought it on the wii instead...

I don't like Microsoft, I associate with it.

I played the original Red Faction on PC, and really enjoyed it. I might have to give this one a shot too. As for RE5, I wouldn't be surprise to see it had one of those half-assed control schemes that some console ports do. Seems like one of those type of games.

  Honestly, it's nice how japanese game-makers have been
treating PC as of late. I'm happy that capcom and Square Enix are both
planning to port future games. Now we just need to get Namco-Bandai with the Tales series of games, and maybe atlus and I'll be able to sell my ps3...

I bought Resident Evil 4 for the PC, only to find it didn't work with my keyboard & mouse. One must use a gamepad; that being the case, why port it to the PC at all?

I watched my kids play #5 on the XBox. Looked like lots of fun, but I want to use my keyboard & mouse, dammit!!!!

Seeing as how the last game capcom ported to the PC (Lost Planet?) before SFIV, was mouse capable, I'm assuming that the new Resident Evil is going to be, too.
