I assume you know the usual suspects? Also gamerankings.com where
you can see the favorites for each platform and each genre? Just in
case not, I'll list some of the obviouse ones, of which I have
most...
Halo - no brainer. I'm not the world's biggest fan of FPS's myself,
but this one is worth it just for the mood it sets (through music,
visuals, sound fx).
Halo 2 - actually haven't played this one. Wait till you play the
original
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic ("KOTOR") - if you are into
SW, or RPG's, this is equally a no brainer. A terrific game!
SW: KOTOR 2 - more of the same, but it is a big letdown at the end.
Don't get it till you play the original.
Project Gotham Racing 2 - a pretty, fun, and passably realistic
(part arcade/part sim) racing game. Get it, don't wait till you
have a wheel!
Forza - more sim than PGR2. Not as fun for some. But I'm a simmer,
so I far prefer it to PGR2 (which I still very much like). But
YMMV.
Burnout 3 is supposed to be a great action racing game. And
available for $20 now. But not my kind of thing, so I don't have
it.
Soul Caliber 2 - This is supposed to be about the best pure fighter
on the XBOX. I just picked it up for $10. But I dunno, guess it
just isn't my thing.
Hope these meager offerings help ...
