I'd recommend just hitting up www.metacritic.com and looking at all the games listed in average score order (direct link), picking some games that seem interesting, and then reading the top 10 reviews and bottom 10 reviews for those games and seeing if they're still interesting afterwards. Maybe buy something awesome like Zelda or RE4 or MP3, but rent a couple of the games that you're still iffy on.
Personal recommendation: get 4 controllers and Elebits.
