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?

Medal of Honor: Warfighter PC gamers don’t have too many modern military first-person shooters to look forward to in the latter half of 2012. If you’re anxious to step back into the boots of the Tier 1 Operators who fought through a fictional Afghanistan in the previous Medal of Honor game, you’re in luck. Warfighter continues their story and offers you the opportunity to battle through Somalia, the Philippines, and other exotic locales rendered with the Frostbite 2 game engine. Frostbite 2 is a powerful piece of tech that powers beautiful games like Battlefield 3, and serious PC gamers with beefy machines will be able to push their systems to the max when Warfighter hits shelves in late October.
