I'll be soon in possession of a XBox 360 Elite so I thought I should ask the fine users of this forum for their suggestions on some good game titles.
I've looked at the wikipedia page of all XBox 360 games (at least the ones in the past 2 years) and I've come up with the following.. feel free to add/comment

• Fifa 10
  
• NFS: Shift (I just want a simple, clean, easy and fun racing game. Got alternatives?)
  
• Halo 3: ODST
  
• Halo 3
  
• Gears of War 2
  
• Tekken 6
  
• Dragon Ball: Raging Blast (On Release; I love DB )
  
• Assassins Creed 2 (On Release)
  
• Smackdown vs Raw 2010
  
• Grand Theft Auto 4
  
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
  
• Left 4 Dead 2 (On Release)

I already have FIFA 10 for PC but consoles are way more fun I'm not a particular fan of PES (sorry).
L4D is good but I already have it on PC and Live doesn't really work in India (I think)

Any other suggestions for good titles?

100% agree with FIFA 10 and Assassin's Creed II.  GTA IV is a must too.

You should definitely get Call of Duty Modern Warfare (Or MW2 if you wanna splash out on the latest version)

BioShock 1/2
Tekken 6

I'm not the biggest GTA fan (only played on PC so far).
I'm much more of a casual gamer who'd like a couple of hours of fun not months of roaming around here and there.. I play Fifa and stuff for fun/relaxation at times

I have a couple of CoD titles on my PS2 and I didn't really like them ;(
Thanks for your input djdannyp. Anybody else?

My one regret is that God of War series is PS only.. so I can't play the final game (God of War 3 ) God of War 2 is probably the best game I've every played to date. I do realize how pointless owning a PS3 is (higher costs and way lesser games) so I'm happy with my 360

I've played Halo 1 on PC and I missed Halo 2. Should I get it for the XBox 360 or can I just read what happens on wiki and play Halo 3 directly?

Hated Bioshock 1 on PC (yes.. you can diss me all you want! I mean you dt!)

I'll move up Tekken 6 simply because you reco it <3 (and I've heard a lot about it on PS but never got the game )

If you enjoy fun racing games then Burnout: Paradise is amazing, you can have hours of fun online just driving around smashing each other up It's more of an arcade-y racer and definitely not a hardcore simulator (like Shift or Forza).

If you're into JRPGs then get Lost Oddyssey, best one this gen (so far).

Like djdanny said you should definitely get COD4/MW2.

Not sure if you like RPGs much but Mass Effect 1 was absolutely epic! (ME2 comes out next year too)

street fighter 4?

I think it totally sucks compared to Revenge, it starts to over-complicated things too much. I don't like how you have to drive to events either

The older games had better crash models but I found that they got somewhat repetitive and found myself avoiding certain race-types. I've really enjoyed Paradise quite a bit more, what really has me hooked is the online challenge system. I've wasted many hours just messing around trying to complete challenges; getting 8 people to line up while each car takes turns jumping over the other 7 is an amazing feat of online cooperation when you're playing with random strangers

Not to mention the amount of ongoing support Criterion has put into the game with free DLCs which actually add things to the game (as well as paid ones) for the last 2 years.

How is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, not on that list?

+1

Also Grand Theft Auto 4 is an awesome game, even if you take it 1 mission at a time because you dont want to spend too much time on it. But with GTA4 once youve done a couple missions, you will be hooked

Burnout is also great franchise and I would endorse any Burnout game
