Well, I definitely approve of adding:
BioShock, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Project Gotham Racing 4, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, Lego Star Wars: TCS, Ace Combat 6
I don't agree with adding:
Condemned 2 (not as good as 1), Two Worlds (quite lousy still), Beautiful Katamari (nothing new)
But more importantly, where are:
Shooters:
The Orange Box
Unreal Tournament 3
Lost Planet (or LP Colonies)
GRAW 2
Music:
Rock Band
Action/Adventure/Strategy:
Grand Theft Auto 4
Ninja Gaiden 2
Civilization Revolution
Fighting:
Soul Calibur IV
Virtua Fighter 5
Racing:
Burnout: Paradise
GRID
Sports:
skate
NHL 08
FIFA Soccer 08
Madden 09
From the current list, I would remove:
-GRAW (replaced by GRAW 2)*
-Perfect Dark Zero
-Far Cry Instincts
-Test Drive Unlimited
-Enchanted Arms
-Chromehounds
-The Outfit
-Culdcept Saga
-PGR 3 (replaced by PGR4)*
Those 9 games just don't seem to be of high enough quality anymore, as games have continued to improve. I'd say there are plenty of 360 games better than those that I didn't even mention above, the one exception being Culdcept Saga as it's fairly unique in the 360 library, which might be a reason to keep it around.
I'm trying to remain unbiased, I personally don't like skating, ice hockey, JRPGs, Lego, Tomb Raider, etc.

We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
