Ceville is pretty great.  A Lucasarts-style point and clicker with fantastic voice acting, is actually funny, and has a terrific (ly evil) protagionist.  I dig it.

Been a while since I last played, but it was still pretty good then. Civ V might spoil some people though.

Apparently, Superior Master Race gaming is all about the top down stuff.

Actually, a God angle makes perfect sense there, never mind me.

Of course the list isn't that big when you're only asking for games that aren't on consoles.  It'd be the same for any other system if you want only complete exclusives.  The difference is that so many games are so much better on the PC that those gaming experiences are practically exclusive.

Most Eurotrash RPGs might as well be de facto PC exclusives.  I couldn't imagine playing Risen or Divinity 2 on the 360.

I'd also hop on the suggestions bandwagon, since I'll be getting a new pc as well.

On the purchase list:
PC version of Mass Effect 2 (played original on PC, and am elitist like that)
Crysis
maybe SC II (edit: hell, who am I kidding putting "maybe" here?)
maybe PC version of GTA IV
maybe Metro 2033
maybe Stalker series (what are all the games in this series, anyway?) (sell me on these latter two, EB)

Future interests:
Deus Ex 3
Crysis 2
Mass Effect 3
Battlefield 3

More interested in good SP experiences than MP.  Haven't been hooked by a MP game on any platform since BF 2.

Suggestions, based on that list? (can include multiplatform games I'd rather get on PC)
