For the Xbox 360, I recommend:
- Mass Effect - a scifi action rpg. Quite similar to KOTOR, if you've ever played that, except the combat is pretty much straight-up real-time. I've never played Gears of War, but I think it's pretty similar to that as well, with a 3rd person, over-shoulder view and cover system. The story and characters are quite good, and the setting is very detailed and well-thought out.
- Bioshock - a first-person shooter. It has one of the most amazing, immersive storylines of any game I've played. The setting is very unique as well - an underwater art-deco city over-run with demented mutants. From what I've heard, the gameplay isn't quite as good as a lot of other shooters, but I found it pretty good. But you should play this for the story and atmosphere anyway.
Some games that are coming out pretty soon that look good: Fallout 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Brutal Legend.

Nah your not retarded. I had an awful time trying to quote someone once. Eventually I just gave up trying. The quote towers are torture sometimes.Haelin post=9.69915.674770 said:
EDIT: I just posted without giving advice. Maybe an older game like Fallout 2 or Baldur's Gate if you like rpgs.
In a few days, I'll be reccomending S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky. It has low minimum system specifications, and what looks to be an even better atmosphere than it's predcessor.
Well, from what you like I suppose I'll go ahead and recommend Spore, despite the fact that I haven't played it yet. It looks like there'll be shiny toys in that (at least in the space phase).
As for the rest...it seems you have a lot of shooter games, so I'm going to recommend some good RTSes. Anything Command & Conquer is good, but the Empire Earth series is basically a rip-off of Age of Empires and Rise of Nations (sorry MA7734W, but it's true) but still good in it's own way. Supreme Commander is a fascinating game if only for the scale it achieves, the Total War games combine turn-based gameplay and real-time battles in an ingenious manner, and Black & White is a strange game where you are a god.
And other games. Overlord has a lot of shiny stuff and is a weird combination of Pikmen and evil, and Evil Genius is a fun game which is everything the title implies. For the Xbox, I have a friend who plays Armored Core 4 semi-obsessively and insists it's genius even though I look at it and see just another giant robot game. Assassin's Creed is fun open-world freerunning and medieval combat, Crackdown let's you be a supercop with more weaponry than North Korea, and GTA4 is a well-done open-world game with surprising character depth. Seriously, I always get weirded out when my friends start talking about GTA4 characters as though they were real people. I spend the entire conversation wondering if I should know this person.
And I once again recommend World in Conflict, just because I like the game so much. It's an alternate history Cold War real-time tactical game. No bases, just your soldiers and tanks vs. theirs, with a free-ranging camera. It's like RTS meets Counter-Strike.
Anyway, those ought to get you started. I've tried to avoid the more obvious mainstream titles, though I see a few crept in anyway. Eh, whatever.

Bioshock is a great choice.
I also liked Lost Planet an attempt by capcom to make the xbox 360 big in japan. Not the longest or hardest game around but it's a fun game if you can find it at a discount prize.
Braid,Geometry Wars 1 and 2 and Castle Crasher are excellent XBLA games.
Fable 2 might be a game to look into. (not out yet though...)
Lips and Banjo Koozie Nuts and Bolts are upcoming "casual games" that look pretty decent.
PC side depends if how good your PC is there is mainly 3 fields though RTS,FPS,and MMO.
