Best 360 Game? Not Including Halo in the title

[megapenguinx]

I was wondering what you guys considered to be the best games on the 360 (doesn't matter the genre). I just got one over Christmas and was wondering what game to buy. Just please no Halo, I was never a really big fan. Thanks!

My personal favourites are:

1. Mass Effect
2. Bioshock
3. Gears of War 1+2
4. Lost Odyssey
5. Fallout 3

Fallout 3, Colin McRae: DiRT, The Project Gotham Racing Series, Call of Duty 4 and Skate are some of my favourites on the system. I'd love to put Bioshock down, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

EDIT: Viva Pinata, filled with fun, da da da da daa...

Halo! I like Gears of War personally. But I'm the kind of gamer that will skip every cut scene in an RPG just to get to the juicy action. Also every time I hear Marcus grunt "Look Ma no face!" I feel warm inside.
Ninja Gaiden 2 Is very good in my opinion, if you take your mind off the gore for 5 minutes.

There are other games for the Xbox...?

Is Fallout better on PC or 360? I've been hearing mixed stories of one being buggier than the other. I think I'm already picking up Bioshock for PS3.

Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Fable 2, Gears 2. . . you are going to find that a lot of people have strangely similar lists.

 

[Hamsterlad]

Bioshock by far man

 

[Arcyde]

Left 4 dead, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, orange box

My personal favourites are:

1. Mass Effect
2. Bioshock
3. Gears of War 1+2
4. Lost Odyssey
5. Fallout 3

Except Lost Odyssey, I completely agree. Don't forget Left 4 Dead.

All you'll ever need. Shake it, shake it, shake it! Like a party animal!

Bioshock, Fable2, Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, Crackdown and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare would be my recommendations.
(And Viva Piñata, obviously)

The orange box(Portal if a single game)

Haha I'm a sucker for that game, I'm sorry! XD

It really depends on what kind of game you want to play. FPS wise I'd suggest Halo, COD4, or L4D. Each is it's own style of FPS play, L4D's being the most unique. Other shooters would include Gears 2, Bioshock, Fallout, the Orange Box, Lost Planet, or even W@W.

 

[megapenguinx]

I have Orange Box on my Mac already (don't ask) so I'm good there. I would honestly rather get L4D on PC. I think I'll look into Gears, however reports from all over are saying the matchmaking is really bad. First Viva Pinata or second?

 

[Mr.Pandah]

The matchmaking on GoW2 is absolutely terrible, but I played the entire campaign co-op with a friend and LOVED it. We play horde now, and will continue to once his xbox comes back since it red ringed.

I'd pick up Mass Effect, Saints Row 2, Ummm....nothing else is really coming to mind right now, I'll post more if I remember.

Edit: Oh, Mirror's Edge and Rock Band 2 and wwell...I mean they're multiplatform but something about achievements that make me buy those games on the Xbox rather than my PS3.

 

[Knight Templar]

Does it have to be "only on 360"?
Thats a better question in my mind.

 

[Blacksun Imports]

Gears, Lost Planet and FEAR

You can get trophies for Mirror's Edge on the PS3. I don't have Rock Band 2 so I can't say something about that.

Or maybe I missunderstood your post and you meant that you just like achievments more.

Fallout 3 or BioShock.
