The last year for the PC has seen some of the best games to date - period. FPS games were pushed to all new heights with Call of Duty 4 and Crysis, multiplatform PC games saw true, undisputed successes, World of Warcraft hit 9 million players, and RTS games breathed sweet satisfaction with new shows such as World in Conflict and an outstanding Supreme Commander update. So what does that leave for the 2008?

The answer is: a whole lot.
