Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Konami already voiced its intent to bring Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 over the PC, but what about the still console exclusive original? It looks like that’s coming too, if a Steam registry listing is any indication. Digging deeper, a user over at NeoGAF found a list of the game’s achievements. It’s incomplete as placeholder achievements are visible, but does include picture icons for some entries. Here’s a snip:

There you have it, looks like we’ll see the original Castlevania: Lords of Shadow on Steam at some point. The console versions suffered from a sluggish frame rate which marred the experience for some, which obviously will be a non-issue on PC. Here’s hoping an official announcement isn’t too far off.
