Im assuming its retail games only list. Xbox live needs another list.

1. Halo 3 - you had to get it in 2007 to get most out of it though. the community is not as good now

2. Bayonetta - runs better on 360 so it gets my nod as must buy on that console

3. Condemned: Criminal origins - best survival horror game this gen, and should be cheap

4. Forza 3 - the only racing game you will need on the 360

5. Halo Wars - best RTS on consoles

6. Mass Effect trilogy 

7. Halo Reach - not as good as 3 overall but a better campaign

8. Gears of War 1 - solid cover based shooter.

9. Crackdown - cheap and fun

10. Earth Defence Force 2017 - some love it, some dont. Should be cheap

If you read the OP I asked for a top 10 of each, if possible, so, yes, a seperate list for XBLA would be marvellous if you can make one, especially as you've added some commentary (very useful -- thanks!).

As for the list, it's exactly what I was looking for (well, excepting the inclusion of a few multi-plats, but that's completely understandable if you didn't read the OP fully). I already own Bayonetta, Mass Effect, Gears 1, and Condemned, but the rest look very good. Crackdown is a definite from what I read, as is Halo Wars, and several people have told me EDF2017 is a must. Is there any reason why? I know nothing about it. What sort of game is it?
