    Thats a tough one Tusky. I'd narrow it down to Guitar Hero 2 (for the sheer brilliance of the controller), Saints Row and Fight Night Round 3.

    Have you played Rainbow Six Vegas yet??? If not, this should be top of your list as it is one of the best games out for the 360 at the moment.

    No Oblivion yet? Best value for money on 360. 60 hours in and still tonnes to do. Should be able to get it cheaply too.
    Uuuh Patsy: Dead Rising does the job. Some extremely weird design choices in there (the timed game structure is bizarre and often annoying) but there are few other games which allow you to use a lawnmower against zombies with such great effect. In classic Id say its worth it.

    A few friends seem to think Crackdown is the dogs. Also have the added benefit of the Halo 3 beta - really enjoying it too.

    Okay so no FPS games, but I think you'd enjoy Oblivion as Johnny Ultimate said. Such a huge amount of stuff to do and it never gets boring....ever!!!

    I'd probably wait a week or two and get Forza 2.

    The new Command & Conquer is supposed to be good.

    Can someone please explain the fascination with Forza 2? The way people are talking about it, you would swear Halo 3 was being released....

    Decent driving sim where you get to pimp out your motor. It ticks all the boxes for a good driving game, no?

    HALO 3 - Final part of one of the greatest video game trilogies ever made...

    Forza 2 - Racing game with features that have been done to death in every single racing game released in the last 5 years...

    except there hasn't been a decent racing sim, in which you could 'pimp' the car, on the 360.

    One of the most over rated game trilogies of all time. Level design leaves a lot to be desired in both the original and 2. In fact have the special edition of Halo 2 and didn't bother even finishing it as it got so boring.

    And what exactly is Halo 3 going to bring to the genre that Forza 2 wont bring to racing sims....not more shiny metal hallways and bunny hopping mutliplayer i hope
