In Pictures: The 21 PC games that matter most, right now

Spring (southern hemisphere) is here, and PC gaming is about to heat up. Starting with Borderlands 2 (pictured here), there's a bevy of new games coming to PCs this fall, and many of them look good enough to merit serious attention. From complex tactical strategy games to fast-paced, modern military shooters and everything in between, chances are there's a game coming out soon that will be perfect entertainment for all your holiday "down time." Have a look at this gallery, and tell us what you think in the comments section. Did we forget any critical nuggets of awesomeness?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown The seminal X-COM franchise of sci-fi strategy games has lain dormant since the last game (X-COM: Enforcer) was published back in 2001, but die-hard PC gamers who miss the trademark turn-based tactical gameplay of classic X-COMs should keep their eyes peeled for XCOM: Enemy Unknown in early October. It’s being developed by Firaxis Games, a veteran studio responsible for classic PC games like Alpha Centauri, and promises to deliver what PC strategy gamers crave.
