None. There are already so many great games for PC to last someone a lifetime if you put the least amount of effort into looking for them and don't just use Micro$oft/Activi$ion/$ony etc. generic AAA CoD 99 and the sorts marketing BS advertisements as your ONLY source of gaming news on new releases...

Since when have the majority of Sony games ever been considered "generic AAA CoD 99" games? PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale excluded of course, since that's just a cash grab.

Take The Last of Us, for example which keeps getting mentioned like once evey 2-3 comments in this thread alone. I am one of those " haters" who could make a laundry list of reasons why that game is not as good as people make it out to be. The only things it sort of has going for it are like graphics which are nice (for a console game that is...) and maybe story (if you have not read a decent book in your life and have never played an actually story driven game that is...). The guns are incredibly generic, the gunplay extremely run of the mill generic third person shooter kind. It has some really nonsensical crap like the 1 bullet revolver in a " realistic" game... Oh and don't even get me started on the start of the game where you kill like a dozen soldiers with assault rifles and you can't pick up any single one their assault rifles, weapon which you only get to use in the last level... nice...not... Yeah, I am sure that is not annoying... It deserves a plus though for not having the 2 weapon limit console crap, I will give it that. The Campaign is highly linear with barebones " scavenging" and crafting implemented having like everything you need to get glowing extremely bright so you don't miss it. All the weapon upgrades are as boring as they can get: reload speed, damage etc. (not a single interesting upgrade: explosive rounds? acid rounds? extra barrels? NOPE) Enemy diversity is poor. Generic human enemies and zombies. The " boss" zombie is copied from Killing Floor (It even has almost the same name!). There are a total of 4 zombie types in the game: generic, one type which you can barely differentiate from the generic type that you only run into 2 or 3 times throughout the game, one copied from Killing Floor and of course the cliche blind zombie who uses sound to find you... Lazy AI partner implementation. They are literaly invisible to the enemies until you get seen when going stealth because making actual smart AI is hard compared to just a trigger: invisible when you are not seen, they become visible to the enemies when you get seen... Lazy programming... I found the " mature" story laughable. Having Ellie with her toilet mouth shouting shit, crap and fuck and the sorts every 2 seconnds got really annoying really fast.
And that was only what I could think of off the top of my head right now... Yeah... Let's just say I was and am not a huge fan of all the praise the game is getting.

Many people have posted various series and single games, most of which are exclusives at some level or another. And while I get that we can always just emulate older games, those saying to just do so have to keep in mind it's technically illegal, and still in the grey area even if you own a copy (and for Final Fantasy I, for instance, that could range in the several hundred dollars to $750 on Amazon).
It would be far better for companies to release their old IPs on Steam, or Origin, Uplay, GOG, WHEREVER they may choose, so that one can own them legitimately without worrying about doing something illegal. In this regard I would push for pretty much any game released for groundbreaking consoles, from the NES to the N64 and PS.
I'm sure there are reasons of some type or another for them not going up yet, or never going up, but at the end of the day everyone loses - the fans and consumers lose because they don't have greater (and more sustainable than a console) access to classic (and not-so-classic) games, and the developers and publishers lose by losing out on both monetary gain, as well as marginal fanbase respect by not keeping up with their old, historic IPs. Square Enix, however much of a cash grab some of you may gripe about them being, is doing a phenomenal job of this with their Final Fantasy series* (albeit erratic and random, at least at first), and have been doing so since the PlayStation era.
Even publishers (/developers) like Microsoft and Nintendo are doing this spottily in ways such as the Virtual Store and XBox Live Arcade. But is there any real downside to releasing these games - or any games - on the computer? It would have a few minor quirks to run through, admittedly (bugs, compatibility issues, ect.), but it wouldn't take too much work to get the game ported. Especially with growing support for controller support on PC games - even PC exclusives. Of course, keyboard controls might be nice (and at times necessary, due to some things such as the Dreamcast having an ungodly amount of buttons, or the NES/SNES/N64 having buttons in variant positions to their place on the XBox or PS controllers), but those are hardly time-consuming features to implement
And with the advent of digital downloading, it makes production costs nil. Not only that, the two major companies I've already mentioned, Microsoft and Nintendo, already have platforms upon which to release them, should they not want to release them via Steam - Uplay and Games For Windows Li-- ah, wait, they closed down GFWL^. Well then, how about the gaming app Windows is into these days?
Aside from that, they already have the platform, so they wouldn't have any third party to pay. And with so many of these classic games' developers either being in-house (Nintendo) or dissolved/bankrupted/bought out (Eidos, THQ, Enix, Epyx, Origin, Blue Fang, Atari, the list goes on), legal issues as far as copyrights and monetary concerns shouldn't be as large of an issue.
As far as straight up making money goes, let's face it, even if I went onto Amazon, eBay, or CraigsList and bought an old GameCube, or N64, or...or ACORN COMPUTER - you know, some older system - it's not as if any money goes back to those manufacturers and publishing companies anyhow. Ditto for the games on those consoles. [This hypothetical is under the impression that, say, I want to play TLOZ, or some other classic game] Now, if they released those games, or even just the games they hold all the rights to and wouldn't have to deal with a developer or other studio about it, for Uplay or...Windows Games (Is that what it's called?)...then they'll still be opening up all the PC-only community to those games. Some of us would rather not have to go out and buy a three hundred dollar, worn down NES just to play one or two games we may be interested in - let alone the game itself. Others would rather just play it on PC because...PC master race, I presume.
Regardless of the reason, if we had access to those games on something such as Uplay, then we'd save large amounts of money, even IF they sold us the game for its' original selling price, and didn't discount it; they, too, would also make returns on IPs that may have not seen a release for fifteen, twenty years or more, or games that are now secondhand (thirdhand, fourthhand) only. Cost is minimal, potential large - especially when you consider the fact that PC doesn't go obsolete, although the individual OSs might (R.I.P. DOS) - ensuring there will always be a market for your games.
Aside from those type of games, naturally any console exclusive would be extremely enjoyable on PC. From Jak And Daxter (as the OP mentioned), to its' sister games Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Ty The Tasmanian Tiger, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, ect. - God Of War, Final Fantasy (but everyone's already mentioned that, huh?), Halo, Animal Crossing (would be FANTASTIC to have a PC port with large-scale online interaction...), Star Fox, TLOZ, Mario....the list goes on into infinity.
*compared to most others
^why was that again? Oh, no reason, you say? Bastards.
TL;DR: Go up there and read it, you fucking sissy.
