Any good games on the Xbox360 that I can't get on the PC?

[BrunoPuntzJones]

I have an Xbox and PS2 that I still play off an on, but mostly get everything for the PC if it's available.

On Craigslist there are sometimes 360s for sale pretty cheap, like $60 (no controller though).

I prefer playing on my PC, even if the game is less buggy on another platform. Just how I have set things up.

I can't really find a list that shows the "exclusives" or what is available on the 360 that I'm missing out on

Anyone know of one or can list some good games that I haven't already played?

The PS3 is still too pricey for me to look at

Halo 3
Gears of War 2 (Gears of War 1 came out on PC, but I'm not sure if it's a great port)
several JRPGs that I don't know the names of
Most sports games
Burnout: Paradise

I still have 20+ PC,PS2,PS3 games in my unplayed stack so I keep putting off buying a 360, but:

- a bunch of online multiplayer games with active communities (Halo 2-3, Gears 1-2) -- requires $40/year for Live Gold
- Crackdown, Fable II, Viva Pinata, Earth Defense Force, Dead Risiing
- Like JRPGs and JStrat? Operation Darkness, Star Ocean, Infinite Undiscovery, Tales of Vesperia

Don't buy some dying RRoD box with no controller off Craigslist, get a new arcade unit with warranty for $160-170 with a Hot Deal like Dell 15% off.

Ah forgot about Crackdown.

Not much into the Japanese stuff. Kinda burned on them from the DS. Don't do any of the rockband type stuff either.

Halo 3 and GOW2 I could do. The first GOW was a pretty bad port, but still chugged through it

I need to finish Halo 2 first.

The guy selling them demonstrates they don't have the RRoD when you pick it up. I'll check Dell now though.

Unfortunately, it's now available for PC

any game that is available on both i'd much rather play on xbox360 than PC.

but that's just me

Halo 3
Gears 2 is decent
Table Tennis is a lot of fun and probably dirt cheap now
Street Fighter 4 although its coming to PC this summer.

They may be out of warranty for everything except RRoD, and repairs cost $100. Disc read errors and (much less often) disc scratching are problerms you'd need a repair for.

Fable II and Dead Rising, but the Dead Rising sequel is coming to PC. They keep playing coy about Fable II coming to PC, but I imagine it'll still happen.

If you are into racing games, Forza 2 and Project gotham 3 and 4 are definitely worth your time.
