Generally speaking games are graphically superior on the PC (so long as your PC can handle it of course), plus they tend to have better framerates in large areas (oblivion for example). But of course with the broadband variable online play is just as much about your connect as the beast at your desk.
Recent (well last 5 years) games that were WAY better on the PC include, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Half Life 2, Left 4 Dead. As someone said earlier, the only games that really stand out as being obviously better on the console are sports games (specifically EA's), and that is a fairly recent development, and sadly caused more by EA's accounting department then the developers. I would say that the gap is shrinking a tiny bit every year, although I think that will stop eventually and there will be a fairly stable gap between game performance.
I guess in the end it depends on your own preferences too, some games I like better on the 360 (mainly due to live), some I like better on the PC.
