If it is not platform related issue, i.e. you are Ok to play with PC (I am not OK to go for game specific platforms because I have very nice HW otherwise) then my recommendation is that chat with your children or friends to go for a better PC that can handle games.
The current system requirements or price for such computer are not very high at all. All you do to play is to plug in the DVD and istall, and you have very nice variety games available.
If in doubt, start a post in a forum stating "This is my budget, and I want to play this and this, what do you recommend for PC?"
I was sort of thinking you had issue of principle against the PC platform - if not, upgrade, and enjoy the freedom of choice between 360 and PC. Unless recession has put your HW upgrades to zero, I find PCs to be a good worth of money for a platform.
