I am currently playing Burnout Paradise, and since that is the only Burnout game I have played (and I don't like to play games that don't have PC ports, even though Burnout 3 looks amazing!), that is my favorite.
I am about to 100% Burnout Paradise. Once I do I will make a post about it. It's a great game, with honestly a few flaws, but it has become one of my favorite games.
I played it on ps3 with a camera. Loved the snapshots it took when you got wrecked or wrecked someone. So many middle fingers. Good fun.
Any reason why you don't use emulators?
No good reason, and sometimes I do, but I do not own a controller, and I own a 100 Hz monitor, so I prefer games that work well on keyboard and mouse and can run at higher frame rates.
All fair reasons. I would recommend picking up a controller, though, even for a lot of PC games.
8bitdo's Ultimate 2C wired controller is $20, and is quite a nice controller.
Also, does your monitor happen to support variable refresh rate or is it possible to overclock it to 120Hz? Even if it doesn't, it's almost certainly possible to run it at 60Hz natively for emulators. More modern emulators can even run games at above 60Hz using memory hacks (similar to Game Genie or Action Replay codes), although stability varies from game to game.
