I have them both for 360 and PC too and to be fair ME1 is simply better on 360 in my opinion... whilst there are no game breaking bugs or glitches on ME1 for PC it just feels more 'clunky' than on 360,although I have noticed that ME2 is far more smooth and slick on PC and as such much easier than on 360. ME2 on the PC also obviously has improved graphics such as better textures, higher resolution and so on plus it runs faster and smoother but I find the scan system and going through the menus almost infuriating sometimes because I occasionally forget that it isn't a one click system like the 360's version. One thing the does favoure the 360 version over the PC version is that I can play it on my super TV.

Fortunately, my laptop has an HDMI port, so I'm able to hook it up to my 19" LED TV (can't afford any bigger), that's how I made  the  graphical comparison between the 360 and PC versions.

But I agree with you, ME1 on the 360 is far smoother and  less clunky than on the PC, mainly because it's badly optimized for it.

One thing I had troubling me with ME2 PC were the long loading times, which I found it was a multi-core compatibility issue. Nothing that a fine tuning of the affinity on the taskbar couldn't handle.
