If you've got a good graphics card, the graphics quality is about the same or better than on a console. You can use a games controller for some games, but most are mouse/keyboard. Can't think of any other differences.

Online play is more common on a PC than a PS3 or Xbox.

Another nice point about computer games:

Lots of developer or community made Mods to expand gameplay with.

Patches (if needed)

XBox one has a custom version of the GeForce3 Ti GPU with some special extensions made exclusively for the XBox.

PS3 has the equivelent of the 7800 powering its graphics engine.

XBox 360 has a custom ATI chip which is about the power of a 2900 or so.
