I just got a 360 (for the 3rd time), and want some help picking out some games.

First thing to know is I don't like FPSs or realistic sports games (Madden, Fifa, etc.).

I know it is supposed to be a great series but I cannot get into Mass Effect.

Games I've already played and enjoyed are Assassin's Creed I, and II (I plan to get Brotherhood at some point), Batman Arkham Asylum, Fable 2 (is Fable 3 worth getting?), and Viva Pinata.

I think I would like a racing game, preferably more of an arcade racer (Project Gotham, Burnout, Need for Speed, Dirt), but there are a lot of choices so I don't know which one to start with. I'm less interested in the Forza franchise but could be convinced.

RPGs have never been my favorite genre, but I feel like giving them a try, so maybe both a WRPG and JRPG.

Also, if there are games that you know are available for cheap now, that would be a nice bonus.

I think that is a good start on detailing what I'm looking for. Thanks for your help!

Heh if you don't like FPS's 360 probably isn't the greatest console choice for ya :P

But anyway, it sounds like Burnout: Revenge is your game.. Very fun aracde racer. I think you can find it now for like $20. I didn't care for Paradise.

Also, if you are curious to check out RPGs, definitly check out Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Tales of Vesperia. I agree I couldn't really get into Mass Effect either, but thankfully those I mentioned are very different than Mass Effect.

If you appreciate the budget games, I'd reccomend following the XBLA, some of the most fun games I've played on the console and most are very cheap. Shadow Complex, Braid, Worms, Plants VS Zombies, Lara Croft, Castle Crashers, Geometry Wars 2, Toy Soilders, Scott Pilgrim are all great games.
