Regardless of it's age. I'm going with Company of Heroes.

Platform »
The PC (Personal Computer) is a highly configurable and upgradable gaming platform that, among home systems, sports the widest variety of control methods, largest library of games, and cutting edge graphics and sound capabilities.
Which game would you name to describe PC gaming as a whole?
@Ahmad_Metallic: you should try it on very high settings one day.I will, man :) The disk is sitting beside me, waiting for the day i come home with an i5 and a GTX 580. it won't be long now!
@HitmanAgent47 said:Same here. Oh the day shall come where I will venture into glorious adventures with graphics unseen by the common man. Well at least until the next console iteration when it becomes the standard yet again.@Ahmad_Metallic: you should try it on very high settings one day.I will, man :) The disk is sitting beside me, waiting for the day i come home with an i5 and a GTX 580. it won't be long now!
I'd say Oblivion. I know it came out on the consoles but the PC version is so much more thanks to the moding community. They've released everything from the obvious armour and weapon packs to completely rebuilding cities, quest lines, adding hundreds of new monsters. Stock Oblivion is great but the PC community make it incredible.

Stock Oblivion is great but the PC community make it incredible.I was pretty much going to say this or Morrowind. Either game demonstrates the dedication and quality that a good PC community can bring, as well as how far the community can push games further than the average person would ever expect. A lot of these things simply cannot be done on any locked down console at this point in time, so either Morrowind or Oblivion are great examples of the unique qualities of the PC platform.
I've played Fallout 3 on both xbox 360 and the PC, many will vehemently disagree with me but I got thoroughly engrossed in Fallout 3 on my PC.
I mean the only reason I went back to it on the Xbox 360 was because of hpw much I enjoyed it due the PC experience. So much more personal.
Oh and to magnify IncredibleBulk92's point, the mod community for Fallout 3 kick's ass too.
Required Features:
1.Scales with hardware
2.Modding community
3.Has remained widely played for at least a few years
4.Plays well on a mouse and keyboard
5.Available on Steam
6.Has both super-dedicated and super-relaxed userbase
Sounds like Counterstrike to me.
Command & Conquer is something I always think of.. though perhaps I'm living in the past a bit there.
Sim City and World of Warcraft are very PC-ish titles as well.
@monte said:Yeah that is a pretty good call.Team Fortress 2?this is probably it now that I think about it
earthworm jimBecause the PC community is so homophobic? Surely that’s more Xbox live?
Either a weird little thing that could only exist on the PC (VVVVVV), or something complicated that would never work well on a console ever without making it different (Total War, Civilization, RTS games)
Or, counter strike.
