Tell us what genre's you like so we can better assist you..
but just firing in the dark.....

I liked Dead Rising, Gears of War, Lost Planet, OBLIVION, Rainbow 6, Crackdown.

The games with online Co-op play just shine that much brighter so if you like co-op without having to split screen. then definately try Crackdown and Gears of War...

But other than that, just ask around or find a list of all Xbox360 games with their ratings and any game with 8 out of 10 stars or higher is usually worth playing. I'm not into sports games or Racing Games so I can't comment on those for the 360.

Rainbow 6 is an excellent starter. Gears of war would get old fast, buy that for sure later. Command and conquer would be good for later too.

vegas was my first game and i found it great for educating me about xbox live and getting to know online gaming on the 360.

Rainbow 6 for sure. I've been hooked on that game for over a month now.

Forza 2 gets boring after awhile, honestly. Gears of War and Vegas should be two titles I would pick because 1) they are quality 2) they are quality.

You shouldn't be dissapointed with those two choices. Forza 2 is fun, don't get me wrong, but racing gets pretty boring when you race on the same tracks over and over again, and have to hear that ****ty techno music every time you get done.

It depends on the gamer. Forza does not get boring for the majority of the people that would buy it. You know you can turn the music off, right? I did so literally within the first two minutes I owned the game.

Nah, i didn't know that. Im going to turn it off. How?

It's just my opinion of the game, doesn't have to hold any water with everyone elses... just my thoughts.

I rented Forza 2 out about 5 days ago, and as much as I've enjoyed it-- I'm still noticing that I find myself just hiring a driver, and trying to get through a race. But more and more, i'm considering just hiring a driver to race for me.

Luckily I don't own it, since i'm just getting too bored with it. It's repetitive.
