hope you're REALLY into shooters, because 90% of 360 games are shooters of one kind or another.
man, i'm so burned out on mass effect it's not even funny. it was addicting at first but like all addictions it becomes a nightmare. i think i played it from beginning to end six times in two weeks trying to collect achievements, and i haven't touched it since
halo3 is only good if you're an XBL addict. either play it online with friends or don't bother. i sold mine two months after buying it. i hear good things about bioshock, but it's strictly one-player. get oblivion if you like gigantic, free-roaming LotR-ish worlds. it has a decent skill/combat system, and two expansions are out already.
i think rainbow six: vegas is by far the best FPS on the box today. r6:v2 is coming out in two months or so, iirc. fight night round 3 is the best fighter i think i've ever played in my life. (i'm leaning more towards brutal realism than cartoonishly pretty games these days) THQ is currently developing a UFC game currently slated for release late 08/early 09, and they've claimed FN:R3 as a source of inspiration. hopeful meter reads: high.
games not yet released: the 360's soul calibur 4 is going to have yoda as a playerable character, for what it's worth. street fighter 4 is also on its way, so keep an eye out. i'm not sure if anything has changed recently, but the latest unreal tournament still isn't out for the 360 yet, something about Microsoft not wanting to make code available to the public which the developer's want so players can make mods: to be continued.
i played assassin's creed, but didn't care for it and i don't know why. splinter cell: double agent is more of the same so if you like it then check it out, and the next one has been in production for a while. i had fun with that naruto game from ubisoft.
the real treasure is Xbox Live Arcade. tons of cheap games and free demos at your finger tips. the most new and popular XBLA game seems to be N+, youtube it if you want to see what it's like. my friend says it's the best side scrolling game he's ever played, better than mario or megaman, which seems rather blasphemous but i haven't played it yet so i can't say.
