New PC exclusive game

So I'm looking to get a new PC game after I complete one of Crysis Warhead or Dawn of War II and my preferences would be a game that is PC exclusive (I only play PC exclusives on my PC as I have a 360 for cross-platform games), is compatible with the Xbox 360 controller and has achievements. I generally like action/RPG/platformers but like the occasional RTS and puzzle game like Stacking also.

So are there any suggestions on what game I could get? I have an Acer Aspire V3771G laptop with the following specs:

• i7-3632QM 2.2GHz with Turbo Boost
• NVIDIA GeForce 710M
• 8GB RAM

Thanks!

The Witcher 1 was launched as a PC exclusive and remained that way for some time until CDPR decided to port it to the Xbox 360. I'd still argue, it's a PC game because it was built from the ground up on PC and most of us recognized it as a PC game. No one will remember that it was ported to the Xbox 360 and I don't think anyone here cares because porting a true PC game (built from the ground up) doesn't make it retroactive.

The Witcher 2 was also built from the ground up on PC, then ported to the consoles. I'd argue the same although it did show signs of consolization design in it that is questionable. But since it is a wonderful game and it's The Witcher Universe... AND a friggin RPG. I can't see where you could go wrong. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Both versions are built from the ground up on PC and they are clearly superior on PC in every way.

Give these games a try not all are exclusive but the ones that aren't you can't play on the 360 but can on a PC.

• Legend of Grimrock
• Witcher 1
• Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl
• World in Conflict
• The Binding of Isaac
• Hard Reset
• Hotline Maimi
• Starcraft 2
• Magicka but you need at least one other friend to play with to fully enjoy it supports 4 player offline and online co-op
• Trine 1 Same thing as Magicka only really shines with friends and is offline co-op only
• Killing Floor
• Dota 2
• Titan Quest
• Back to the Future the Game Ep 1-5
• Max Payne 1-2
• Diablo 1-2
• Fallout 1-2
• Deus EX

Definitely the Fallout, Max Payne games, and Hard Reset. I'd add, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.

It's sad to see topic title like the TC has made and a list with bunch of old games; ROFL it was funny to see how far you'll go to list exclusive PC games, I laughed when I reached reading Max Payne 1.

Nothing bad about the list all titles here are good, except for crappy Titan Quest but that's my opinion.

You could check out Guild Wars 2 and The Secret World.

They are both buy to play MMORPG's that are fun games with some unique features.

Also a new game called Starbound just entered beta on steam. It's similar to minecraft but from a 2d perspective and much larger with more activities/enemies and quests etc.

He didn't say he wanted newer pc game exclusives just new pc games to play on his laptop that he can't play on his 360. Seeing as he has a laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 710M which is not very strong I don't see anything wrong with recommending older games and classic pc games that are still worth playing he may very well have the most enjoyable experience with those as there shouldn't be as many sacrifices needed if at all to run them well.

Unlike newer games where its objectively a downgraded gaming experience on his laptop as he has to turn down settings and resolution to get a good framerate in them. Games like Planetside 2 or Natural Selection 2 I don't think would run well at all on his laptop even at lowest settings they could but decided not to list them because of it.

The Witcher was never ported to any console,it´s a PC only title to this day.

Serious Sam First Encounter - HD

Played Crysis (first one) ?
Maybe try Rise of Nations.

You want a console game that isn't available on consoles. That's a tough one.

Oh yeah, it was canceled. In was in development called "The Witcher: Rise of the White Wolf." The fact that I didn't even remember that shows that no one cared about it haha. That's good though.

So, I'm not trying to start an argument or anything, but I just want to know, honestly... why? Your laptop is powerful enough to run most multiplat games with better graphics and higher framerates than the 360. And nearly all of them (seriously, like 98%+) are compatible with the 360 controller. And, being a laptop, it would be even easier to connect to your TV than a desktop PC would be. In fact, it would be exactly as easy to hook your laptop to the TV as it is with your 360.

Age of Empires 2: HD Edition

Antichamber

Skyrim with Mods

FTL: Faster then Light

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

Risk of Rain

Terraria

Total War: Rome 2 or Shogun 2

Starbound

Maybe 60 frames per second makes him sick… :D

@the_bi99man:

I have only just got my new laptop (I've had it since October 20th) and my previous one was not powerful enough to run anything that was released in mid-2009 onwards (It was an Aspire 5920G with intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT) so I have just got into the habit of playing most of my games on my Xbox. Now I have a decent computer for running games I am inclined to buy more games for the PC, but how many of them have achievements compared to their console equivalents?

Ooh yes I played a demo of "The Witcher" on my old laptop but it ran a little slow. With my new one that won't be a problem. The first one is only £6.99 on Steam and that looks very temping indeed. Regarding Games for Windows I have a list of them here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Games_for_Windows_%E2%80%93_Live_titles

Of those titles, which are PC exclusive (or if they are cross-platform which are better on PC)? Which of those are worth getting still? Of that list I have already played Dead Rising 2, Fable III, Fallout 3, Gears of War, Halo 2, GTA IV, Juiced 2 and Dawn of War 2 of course.

I just bought The Witcher: Enhanced Edition for £1.74 on Steam, now that's a deal! Thanks for the suggestions everyone I'll see what I can find in future sales ;)

Legend of Grimrock looks sweet for an indie title. I may pick that up during the sale and congrats on the purchase.

You can give Blacklight: Retribution a try. It's a free to play FPS based on Unreal 3 engine. I think your laptop could handle it.
