So I've been thinking for a long time of getting a 360 and now there's a very real chance I might be getting one. Name some good games that aren't on PC (or are better on the 360, such as the original Condemned) that I should pick up.

The Darkness and Tenchu Z come to mind. They're not particularly exceptional games, but fair enough to be worth the $20 some-odd you'd pay for a used copy.
A hint for Tenchu Z, though. If you're thinking about playing it online, DON'T, I can't emphasize that point enough. Most of the people that play it online anymore act like a bunch of retarded 9 year-olds with ADHD and epilepsy who don't understand that you actually have to hide from your fucking enemies.

Mirror's edge feels a lot more natural on PC. As for exclusives, GoW 2 isn't bad (I know I bagged this game out some time ago but it does what it does well - killing things is fun. That said the whole side story with dom is cringe-worthy)

I always say this, but... Dead Rising.
Crackdown's pretty damn awesome too, although compared to Saints Row 2 & GTA IV, it could do with more variety.

Dead Rising, Rez HD, Banjo Kazooie, Gears 2, hmm I guess there aren't that many exclusives.

My initial 3 picks are Condemned 1 and 2, and Dead Rising. You all know what I think of Gears ;)

gears 2 is better. it moves beyond that fake parody emotion i loved from the first game and hits you with real hard hitting drama. i cried several times.

anybody else, and i'd think they were trolling

Seriously, Gears 2 is a lot better. I found the story quite moving, at times. Ok, once. That said, it's best with some mates and a crate of something in multiplayer, which is what I've been doing for the past 2 hours.
Horde Level 38, bitches. Not bad for some unorganised, inebriated geezers.
Fable II is also worth a look, if that's your kind of thing. Still wanting an explanation from Molyneux why my son, with my Fable II wife, is black. (We're both Caucasian). I think she's been cheating.

hide from your fucking enemies.I'll wholeheartedly second The Darkness, but Tenchu Z? I played the demo, and everything felt and looked horrible.
I feel Ninja Gaiden 2 (or Black), Armored Core: For Answer, Devil May Cry 4, Lost Odyssey, Rez HD, The Club, and Earth Defence Force 2017 are worth at least checking out, too.
