Thanks for all of your efforts. Feel free to add more if you like
BLIXTSTORMS CONTRIBUTION:
BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2:Probably the best shooter to this date, the absence of screaming 12 year olds is just so freaking nice Very Happy Get mad at a sniper? Run him over with a tank.
JUST CAUSE 2:EPIC!!! This game is just so freaking fun to play! Blow shit up, drive fast things, parachute and blow more shit up
LOST PLANET:Shooter, and its fucked up. Stranded on a lost planet to bound to fight to survive.
TOO HUMAN:Hack n Slash game with very weird controls. Its about Baldur and Norse Mythology but in the future?
DEAD OR ALIVE XTREME 2:BOOBS!!! There is nothing other special about this game, you race on jetskiies, play volleyball and sunbath... That's about it.
FORZA MOTORSPORT 2: Racing game, with an amazing online system. I love it! One of the first 60 FPS game on the 360. It has a steep learning curve compared to the 3rd. But the custom online lobbies make up for it.
FORZA MOTORSPORT 3: Racing game with much to offer, even the worst driver in the world (MLD)
. I love this game more then the second one. A must have for all 360 owners, so I can own them all, Muhahaha!!!
PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 4: Racing game with a twist, its a "arcadish slide/drift racer". Its very entertaining. Its cheap now and a great way to build up the library. A lot of weird cars/bikes are in the game, from the electric Tesla Roadster to the jet-powered superbike Y2K.
SHADOW COMPLEX: Great game and reminds me of old platformers, but still with excellent visuals and light effects. Haven't played so much, but the story seems good so far.
FABLE II: Probably the best RPG on any console, and the most weird. Epic story but quite short as you can complete it in about 10 hours. I love this game, but the multiplayer sucks!
COLIN MCRAE DIRT: Is a good rally game, and there are not to many of them. This game is far superior to Dirt2. The selection of cars is good but not in the same league as Rallisport Challenge II released back in '02.
LT XPLOSI'S CONTRIBUTION
HALO 3 ODST - it is a good game awsome story and the best of all ''shitty multiplayer''
but it comes with HALO 3 expanision and the online goes from meh ... to YAY!!!

MR. PROJECT NATAL'S CONTRIBUTION:
CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2: Greatest game to roam the planet, but some of the shitiest noobish players on the planet.
ASSASSINS CREED 2: Fucking great
PURE:So great yet underrated
LEFT 4 DEAD 2: Best Zombie game to hit the UNIVERSE! But people without mics make the game suck SHIT at times.
SERIOUS SAM22'S CONTRIBUTION:
DEAD RISING: that game is better than left 4 dead because the zombies and the variety of the missions
DEMONDRAGONDUDE'S CONTRIBUTION:
RESIDENT EVIL 5Not particularly scary, plays more like an action game with more focus on combat than puzzles, exploration or just scares in general. Still very fun and can get pretty intense. Good level of graphical detail too.
GEARS OF WARA very tight third-person shooter with gorgeous visuals. Some may be put off from the need to crouch/cover so frequently but it's very cinematic, very frantic and has a lot of satisfying shooting action.
CALL OF DUTY MODERN WARFARE 2I've not played a lot of cod titles but I have to say that this game really is amazing. Gorgeous visuals, a nice range of locations, fantastic level design, really good animation and overall really a must-have for fps fans. From what I've played so far, multiplayer seems good too.
PROTOTYPEIn my eyes, it really did live up to the hype. The graphics aren't the best and there's a quite a bit of repitition in buildings but the gameplay's dynamic and hugely enjoyable with spiderman-like high jumping and wall running/crawling abilities and god of war-like violence and gallons of blood, it's a must-have for open ended game fans.
FABLE IIIt's a really fun rpg with loads of charm, good interaction with npcs, a cute graphics style, satisfying levelling up system and generally good gameplay. So far the story's not had me hooked but the atmosphere keeps it interesting. Easy to recommend.
PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 4While it's no simulator, it boasts really amazing visuals, beautifully rendered tracks, nice car models and the option of car or bike. It's good fun and is definately worth the price.
TIMESHIFT:
Seriously underrated. A very enjoyable shooter with good texture detail, nice visual effects, lots of blood & gore, very fun multiplayer and awesome time changing abilities. The atmosphere is great too! Not many players online unfortunately and the story is not the best but still a great game.
CONAN:
It was a bit of a let down. I loved the old Conan title on Xbox/Gamecube but this one is really linear and is trying too hard to be a god of war clone. For the most part it's a fun button masher hack n' slash game but it's not ambitious and it's not the best of it's kind. Has nice animation though.
HALO 3:
Easily the greatest first person shooter ever made. Good graphics, pretty decent campaign, good soundtrack & sound effects but multiplayer is where it shines with dozens of levels that are all diverse and interesting, loads of types of weapons and vehicles and character customisation. It's a must have! Thousands of players are online all the time.
FRONTLINES: FUEL OF WARPretty cool fps. Not the best graphics but large environments and pretty addictive gameplay despite slightly loose shooting.
MIRRORS EDGE:
It very neatly combines free running and combat elements into a solid title and it's good fun for a while but the style can only keep you interested for so long before you go back to your favourite 360 titles. Still worth checking out.
DARK MESSIAH OF MIGHT & MAGIC: ELEMENTS:
It's honestly better than what the reviews would have you think but that being said, it's no Oblivion. It's pretty cool to a certain extent; you have pretty good first person combat and a linear but somewhat exciting campaign but it's nothing special.
MASS EFFECT:
I usually hate rpg's and hate sci-fi but still, Mass Effect does combine the two in a very satisfying way. It's a really open game, both in gameplay and progression. You are given so many choices of where to go, what to do, what to say, etc. The shooting aspect is also good and so Mass Effect is definately a must-have for fans of the genre.
THE CLUB:
The gameplay and it's visuals are fine. Nothing to complain there but the problem is that the game is absolutely pointless. It's a generic shooter but there's nothing really ambitious or interesting about it. The sound effects are ridiculous, the single player get's repetitive and dull and there's no reason you would want to play it over any other game.
PERFECT DARK ZERO:
It's a really good shooter. It's not my favourite but I really like the graphics & physics & definately the level design because there's a lot of variety. There's also a few vehicles & a nice amount of weapons and overall the gameplay's good but a jump button would have been nice. Still amazing for an early title.
ELDER SCROLLS IV: OBLIVION:
There are so many positive things to say about this RPG. There's almost no limit on what you can do. The only downside that prevents it from being perfect is the slightly quirky third person view. Eg, jumping is floaty and very jerky (there's only a few frames making the transition between you standing and being a metre off the ground.
SEGA SUPERSTARS TENNISIt's a rather basic game which doesn't require much skill, if any at all but nevertheless it's good fun and has a nice range of differently themed levels. My favourite is the House Of The Dead level lol.
KAMEO:
The slightly kiddy style of it may put off some people but never fear, this game is really good fun and features gameplay that both children and adults can enjoy. You can unlock and transform into about 10 different monsters, each of which having their own unique fighting/transporting abilities. It's a really enjoyable game which may be short but it's sweet!
LOST PLANETIt's a solid shooter but there's not really a wide range of locations and the gameplay's pretty much just a repetitive shooter but some aspects of it are rather enjoyable, eg: using the grappling hook type thing.
CRACKDOWN Amazingly addictive sandbox game. Only complaints are that there's almost no story or music but the gameplay's so fun that you can look past this. It's an InFamous and Grand Theft Auto killer.
THE RPG GUY'S CONTRIBUTION:
HALO 3:over rated but a decent shooter.although the graphics are outdated (mabey reach will fix that) the online can take hours out of your day
SOUL CALIBUR IV: fun but still as broken as soul calibur 2.
FORZA MOTORSPORT 3:its a racing simulation and an EXTREMELY good one. my dad takes my xbox just to play it
BEAUTIFUL KATAMARI:fun but short. made up for in the replay value
MR. COLE DRAKE'S CONTRIBUTION:

MASS EFFECT 2 - great story and graphics
FORZA MOTORSPORT 3 - nice game but I wish the interior view was better
