Mmmmm zombies, and maids and *BLEEP!* chainsaws!
Okay first one is by a Japanese guy who made the Chainsaw maid which is great and has great little bits of humour in, the second one is pure mental awesomeness done by another guy who made an unofficial sequeal, the animation is a bit more crude but I prefer it

Woot! Well done sah!
I bought an Xbox solely for Fable II (yes, yes I know ) so I don't actually have that many games for it yet.
I can recommend some of what I have though:
* Gears of War: Good solid gameplay, not too tough not too easy - still looks visually impressive even now. * FableII: Is still one of my favourite games - I've played it and replayed it soooooo many times.... * FableIII: Better than II in many ways, but not as good in many more; its like a polished version of 2 with the humour turned down a bit. Like II it has a "WTF? really?!?" kind of ending, but its worth playing for the amazing voice acting and one or two exceptional quests ('save the princess' ftw) * Bioshock2: Not got very far in this, but plays well - a bit dark (visually I mean, I need to turn the gamma up) * Crackdown: Not really my thing, but I got it for £5 * LIMBO: Awesome, frustrating, gorey, creepy and unique. * Dead Rising: I know you like the 2nd one, so this is worth a look if you can get it cheap - kind of like a mix between resident evil and pokemon snap o.O * Halo 3: Aparently very good. I've not even opened it so I can't tell you
I've heard Red Dead Redemption is meant to be good on XBOX, as is the entire AC series. One or two people here might recommend Halo:Reach as well
I'd recommend joining the XBOX Live Gold Service, as the Online stuff on it is just excellent. You don't get a browser, but to be fair; you get everything a Gamer would be looking up anyway; from insider videos and game demos to downloadable films and music. Being Microsoft they get their grubby little hands on demos very, very quickly making it really easy to 'try-before-you-buy'

i like reach more than 3 but just because i like what they did with the characters
bioshock2 was great a friend and i switched off for deaths and beat the game in a weekend but theres alot of other stuff we didn't do in it until we beat it - plus the multiplayer is pretty decent
red dead redemption was good from what i experienced but when i played it with a friend we would just do terrible things to people with the train and lasso xD its multiplayer is also pretty neat.
deadspace 2 and deus ex human revolution are coming out soon so those might be good to wait for dead space for the horror and then deus ex is a cool cyber punk rpg (i'm getting it the moment it comes out so i'll deff give a heads up about it if anyone wants to wait for opinions xD)
don't get force unleashed 2 imo D: so stale short first was leaps and bounds better for what i want from a game
fallout vegas was really fun if you didn't get it for pc on steam xP

I've currently got hooked back onto Blood Bowl (although the Legendary Edition this time). The single player seems to have vastly improved, although besides setting up my own league I can't see me taking part in the multiplayer with the hardcore players whatsoever.

I've already got Red Dead, Force Unleashed 2 and Fallout NV on the PC. Is it worth getting all the Halo's or just number 3 and Reach? The next thing I have to get is the 250Gb HDD as I've only got a 4Gb flash drive built in I've also got a free month on Live Gold.

Halo wise tando its hard to say the first one is great, the recent 2 (3 and reach are a mixed bag) 3 willl be winding down now that reach is out but persoanlly Reach was a big let down, multiplayer wise its still a great formula but they made only 1 multiplayer map for multiplayer the rest are taken (or as they like to say implemented) from the campaign making them as drab and boring as the campaign. Maybe try black ops? I'm not a fan becuase its to easy for campers and gives the best player huge benifits like airstikes etc

Ah, good ol' Lotro *fond memories*
On the rare occassion I'm not on Rift, I'm currently giving Assassin's Creed a go. I should have played it ages ago, but there we are.
Just ordered Assassins Creed II on the XBOX for when I clock the original, and have ordered Alan Wake as well for a change in pace before LA Noire comes out.

Based on a friend's feedback Alan Wake is awesome. Obviously not my kind of game though but it's amazing for this kind of games (still based on my friend's)

I've got BFBC2 but haven't played it in ages
Once I clocked the SP I played the MP for a bit but only got to like rank 12 or something.... Some others here still play it though, I believe.

Currently playing Alan Wake on the XBOX360 with the missus.
Its actually quite hard to play when she keep jumping and grabbing my shoulder with talon-like fingernails >.<
I've put this video on Spoiler as there are some bits from the game revealed which folk who've not played it might not want to see
Spoiler:
The music is "Haunted" by Poe
