You liked Eternal Darkness that much eh?
For me my favorites are Super Smash Bros Melee, Wind Waker, Thousand Year Door, SC2, both Metroid Prime games... well actually I love a LOT of games on that system so this could go on a while. I have Eternal Darkness but I guess I wouldn't rate it so high near the top. Good game though, so's Mario Sunshine. Really my GCN collection is full of quality titles. Sure there's only a sliver that are 3rd party, but Nintendo managed to make so many of their own that I still end up having a bigger stack of it than... actually no near the end my PS2 games outnumbered my GCN games but it's still a nice collection. My XBox stack was of course the smallest. The problem is MS gets a lot of exclusives that are only sort of exclusives that later get ported to PC will a lot of extra features. They do end up getting a lot of PC ports on the 360 these days but I end up getting the PC version if they were made primarily with that system in mind because that tends to be the better one (Oblivion, Orange Box).
That said, Halo 2 is downright silly on the PC. An original Xbox game with no graphical improvements over the original version save for boosted resolution (that it gets anyway, EMULATED on the 360) has no business being Vista and DX10 exclusive, and it really has no business sporting those system requirements. Really it seems like it's about as wasteful a port job as FF7's PC version was.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
