For the under $40 games...
I'd have to say...

1. Condemned - A MUST BUY! No excuses or reasons for NOT having this game if you have a 360. The shopping mall level will give you nightmares.

2. The Outfit - Not a GREAT game, but for $20 I thought it was very addictive and fun, even though its totally not a realistic WWII war game. I like how you can "order" a tank and it is sky dropped right to your location, you can hop in blow up some germans and if your tank blows up, you can skydrop another one, or a jeep, or some soldiers to back you up, etc... The pacing and the moving forward adventure is pretty cool. It's like you meet defenses and forces throughout the game and you slowly push forward with your own. You can set up gunners and artillery soldiers that will fight on their own for you. Then you move ahead and try to get through the enemies lines. Push forward, get killed, secure an area, move ahead a little further, capture buildings and depots, hop in a tank and drive it, set defenses again, etc...COOL!

3. Just Cause - Imagine a GTA type of game on a huge map centered in South America and you're trying to overthrow a corrupt government (VIVA LA REVOLUTION!). You can (or course) run and walk around, but you can also drive cars, trucks, motorcyles, four wheelers, fishing boats, speed boats, helecopters, airplanes, and much more... It's awesome! Plus you have a built in parachute, so you fly a plane and eject before crashing, parachute down, jump in a truck ramp it off a mountain and parachute down, etc... The action and pacing in this game is CRAZY. This game has a hyperactive feel, and the crazy salsa/latin music gives it that Santana-gone-wild feel.

4. Dead Rising - For horror/zombie fans or action/adventure fans in general, this game is AWESOME!
The mall is so huge and there is so much variety and so many things to do.
The photographer aspect is so innovative and really helps to create a totally different game experience.
There are SO many ways to kill the zombies its crazy...
I mean come on swords, guns, baseball bats, chainsaws, cars, motorcycles, lead pipes, teddy bears, soda cans, electric and acoustic guitars, a lawn mower, a bench, an unlockable tank...
There have to be like...a thousand ways to kill these zombies...AWESOME!
