After PC gaming for a long time I got a 360 for 100 bucks this BF. Now that I have it, I'm thinking, what the hell am I going to play on it? The 360-exclusive page of Wikipedia is useful, but what I really need (and haven't found) is a good list of console exclusives. Sure, I'll get the Halo pentalogy and the Gears quadruplogy, after that I'm not sure. The problem I have is, all the cool games I'm seeing, I already own on Steam. Mass Effect? Got it. Assassin's? Done. I don't see the point of playing them over again.

Right now I have a few random games swirling in my head, notably Read Dead and Vanquish. I could use a few more.

Bayonetta

Halo ODST and Reach are really great, can't recommend the mainline games though.

If you're going to play the Gears games don't play Judgement, it's bland even by GoW standards.

Pretty much anything on consoles that didn't come to the PC. The 360 seems to be the best place to play Bayonetta. As you said, Red Dead. XBLA might be a good place to look - Marathon Durandal got a pretty good port on there, Shadow Complex is supposed to be pretty great, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is on there. N+ and Geometry Wars. Fable 2 still isn't on the PC if you're interested in that game. I was halfway through typing Final Fantasy XIII before I remembered that there is a PC version of that.

Forza Horizon is an excellent racing game and I'd say it's a must. Project Gotham Racing 4 is fun. Burnout Revenge

Outland.

I don't know if Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands is on PC, but it's pretty good. Prince of Persia 2008 is also a really good game.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

@believer258: Both Prince of Persia reboots are on PC but the Epilogue for PoP 08 is not.

Outland is on PC as well.

Ah. How's the Ubisoft DRM on both?

08 has Securom for the physical version and nothing for the Steam version.

Forgotten Sands uses Uplay.

Gears of War is good. Halo 3 is good.

I'd say Bayonetta but it's better on Wii U....

But honestly if you're looking for good exclusives, the 360 is like the worst place for that.

Bayonetta has been on this list three times.

And yeah, I was aware of that going in, but there's no reason not to have it. Like I said, I'm looking for console exclusives, and I'd rather use the 360 controller than the PS3 one.

Forza Horizon

Bangai HD (Nobody recommends this because no one has played it. Fools.)

Banjo Kazooie and Tooie (Dat 360 controller really makes a difference)

Perfect Dark (the XBLA remake, not Zero. Although Zero isn't as bad as people say)

Kameo (Honestly one of my favorite games by Rare. People who say Rare was dead when Microsoft got them are full of shit.)

Half Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax (Not sure if this came to PC. You should play it anyway)

Snoopy Flying Ace (Online is dead, but it's still fun with bots)

Shadow Complex

Halo Wars (This may or may not be worth playing, since you're apparently really invested in PC gaming you've probably played much more complex RTS games)

I can't think of too many multiplat games that aren't also on PC. Probably some sports games.

Stuff I haven't seen mentioned that are amazing: Ninja Gaiden 2, Nuts & Bolts, Crackdown, The Darkness, and Viva Pinata: TiP.

If Crash Course is still up on XBL, remember to download that for free.

Nothing I could think to add to this list. I know Bayonetta has been said by almost everyone, but I have to agree that it is the best game you can play on an Xbox 360 that you can't play on a PC. If Vanquish isn't on PC that is probably a good choice as well. Outside of Gears and Halo, though, I can't say my list of recommended 360 exclusives is very long. One of my favorite indie series that I feel like I enjoyed more than anyone else on the planet is the Dishwasher series. You play as a dishwasher (as in a person who washes dishes at a restaurant not an electronic dishwasher) who become this crazy ninja warrior. It's a 2D sidescrolling game but has super deep and fun combat.

Red Dead Redemption, Forza, Gears, Halo and a ton of stuff on Arcade like Shadow Complex. Also give Alan Wake a try if you haven't checked it out on PC yet.

Speaking of XBLIG, there were a few organized events by the developers, Indie Games Uprising (3 across 2 summers and winters). I remember seeing some really cool shit, expecially that 3D snake game QRTHYL or something. I'll look into it and everyone else should too.

Give Nier a shot! I played it for the first time a couple of months ago. It's got OK combat, a really interesting story, and a phenomenal soundtrack.

Asura's Wrath and Dragon's Dogma are two great games still exclusive to consoles. The DLC chapters for Asura's Wrath are phenomenal.

I listen to Hills of Radiant Wind every couple days. I recall some hubbub about the quality, but I think it'll be worth it. Was considering playing the previous Drakengard game(s) in that completionist, OCD kind of way, but that's probably not going to happen.

I've heard it's dumb fun, but I think I'm going to make my time count with some narrative-focused games.

Asura's Wrath and Dragon's Dogma are two great games still exclusive to consoles. The DLC chapters for Asura's Wrath are phenomenal.

Asura's Wrath is on the list fo sho. DD sounds fun in a Japanese-awkward kind of way, but I heard Patrick spoil the ending/concept during a GOTY talk, and that kind of satisfied my curiosity.

By the way, picked up Condemned Bloodshot because I'm a sucker for dope first-person-perspective games. I already finished Mirror's Edge. Anything else I should know about?

FYI, I'm setting up my wishlist to keep it organized, and some of these prices are Krazy - games like X-Men: Wolverine and Captain America are like 50-60 bucks (new)! I assume this is because there was a small run and everyone's running low.

Resonance of Fate

SSX

While I'm not looking to waste my time with a bunch of RPGs, opting for story-heavy games, I've heard cool and good things about Resonance of Fate. I could go for some "gunkata" stuff.

1) Nah.

2) Absolutely. That and Viva Pinata. For old-ass games, shit's expensive: both of them are going for like 25 bucks used.

Here's a status update. I've got a new copy of Red Dead coming in, too.
