Don't buy Mass Effect 1, Alan Wake, Metro 2033, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Two Worlds. Do buy Crackdown, Fable 2, Gears 1 & 2, Tales of Vesperia, Lost Odyssey and Mass Effect 2.

The 'don't buy' games aren't worth the full purchase, Alan Wake and Metro 2033 are great games but both are worth a rent unless you find them cheap. Mass Effect is broken and extremely overrated and unless your planning to play online Conviction single player is really short.

The 'do buy' games are all great and can all be found pretty cheap (besides Mass Effect 2) and there all long and great experiences.

Enjoy your 360 and don't jump on to every exclusive people in this thread mention, people tend to give more credit to some games than they deserve. Research is recommended. 



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.

Tales of Vesperia

Get Gearses, Halo Wars, Mass Effects and Lost Odyssey my favourite 360 exclusives by far

You can't pre-order the Halo Reach 360 bundle somewhere? At a Retail Store or Online shop? That's probably your best bet to ensure that you can get one.

Halo 3... Halo 3: ODST?

If you're getting Reach, you may as well get the other Halo games on the system too

 

If not them... Gears 1/2, Mass Effect 1 and 2, Fable 2?


you know? most of these games i've already finished, Gears 1/2 me and my friend finish them in one go and ME1/2 i've got them on my PC , i think i'll go with ODST since thats the only game i didn't play much.

Lost Odyssey, Tales Of Vesperia, Hydro Thunder Hurricane, Ninja Blade, Forza 3, Dead Rising, Fable 2, Viva Pinata to name some that are varying across genres. good games.

Also ALAN WAKE. You have to it's amazing.

Splinter Cell Conviction also is a great game.

My 360 game must own list (in order of importance, and cutting out games you already own or aren't interested in):

LIMBO
Fable II
Lost Odyssey
Bayonetta 
Halo 3 ODST (Campaign is way better than Halo 3, IMO)
Tales of Vesperia
Shadow Complex
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
Halo Wars (Believe it or not it's pretty great)
Castle Crashers 
Alan Wake
'Splosion Man
Braid

^^ all exclusive or not worth buying/not available in this region on other systems, so yeah, hope that helps.

Check out the review I wrote on the site last month. 

I'd like to add that I feel silly for missing Rez HD, which Okr mentioned, and would go around the bottom 1/3 of my list.  I disagree about Kameo though. I bought that for $8 and still felt ripped off. Project Sylpheed I've never tried, and Psychonauts I'm going to assume you bought on Steam/have free on Gamespy considering it's been available there for a while. If not get it there instead of 360, as it's priced better and looks better.
