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?

Assassin's Creed 3 The fifth (and hopefully final) game in the Assassin’s Creed series takes protagonist Desmond back to the past to stalk the wintry woods of Colonial America as Connor Kenway, a young man of English/Native American ancestry who gets pulled into the ancient struggle between Templars and Assassins at the height of the Revolutionary War. PC gamers with beefy rigs can look forward to putting their machines' graphical capabilities to the test as they roam around a sprawling swath of simulated New England.
