Stranglehold is going to be sick, that comes out in a week or so. I would download a bunch of demos from the 360 Live Marketplace, get a feel for what games you like. And if you like driving games, check out DiRT! That game was way fun. And Halo 3 comes out in a little more than a month.

stick to gears of war, halo 3 (soon) and grand theft auto 4 which i think will be the best game ever made if the other GTA's have any say in the matter

Oh yeah, for some other shooters, Gears of War you can't miss that one, and Call of Duty 2 is very good as well. NOT Call of Duty 3 though, that one sucks.

agreed.

for shooters gears of war was a lot of fun but the campaign was really short. definitly get it if youll be playing online though. battlefield 2 was awesome but it was pretty tough i thought, online was a lot of fun too. actually any shooters i think are twice as good if you play online. GRAW 1 and 2 are sweet if your into more tactical shooting games.

as for other games i just picked up dirt(rally racing) which im loving and the bigs which is kind of like extreme baseball, its fun but gets kind of repetitive playing through a whole season.

I'm definitely going to disagree here, the campaign of gears of war was way more fun than the online play. I can't stand the slow movement in online play. Beating campaign mode in all 3 difficulty levels was awesome, it's even more fun playing cooperatively with a friend. And the GRAW games sucked.

Dirt is fun, but it can be really aggravating and annoying. Gets a little old once you beat it.

dead rising or dead or alive 4 are the best "fun games" for 360. DOA is so much fun to play with friends and DR is such an entertaining game in general.

dont get me wrong the campaign for gears was awesome, especially co-op, but it was just short.

I agree, it could have used another level or two at the least. Hopefully there will be a more in depth story for the sequel, whenever that comes out.

Call of Duty 4, which comes out this fall looks like it will be very fucking sick. Infinity Ward, the makers of Call of Duty 2 are making #4. They had no hand in making Call of Duty 3, it was made by a different 3rd party developer. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, looks unreal, check it out.

lego star wars. you build stuff with legos and then break stuff with legos. and you have a lightsaber. it doesn't get much better than that.

Gears of war is more of a take cover and aim your shots game than Halo's run and gun style...for both campaign and multiplayer.

Saints Row is mad fun but gets wicked boring after a while. Forza 2 like someone said above is sick but can be really really really frustrating

Saints Row is basically Grand Theft Auto with a twist. If you're into pimpin ho's, shooting cops and stealing cars, give it a try. It has a few features that GTA didn't, Insurance Fraud, Loan Sharking, Cracking Safes and other shit like that. The story mode goes by pretty fast, then there is the chore of beating the activities, which is extremely time consuming.

just download a shitload of demos like stranglehold, amped 3, ect. and it will keep you busy. I myself hate baseball but i downloaded "The Bigs" and its so fun, i would never buy the game but its like mlb street.

yeah, Fight Night Round 3 is a very fun game! There is supposedly another one coming out soon, but I hear they are mixing it with a remake of an older boxing game, so we'll see how that turns out.
