These are the games I have:

Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Just got it, and if I hadn't also just gotten Ghost Recon, it's probably all I'd be playing.

Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter - Just got it, and if I hadn't also just gotten NFS:MW, it's probably all I'd be playing.

Both of the above have great graphics, look great in HD, and have great single-player components... haven't really tried the multiplayer for either very much.

Ridge Racer 6 - This was all I was playing until I got the above two. The single player gets a little reptitive, but my roommate and I were both working our way through the single player levels and it helped keep us competitive on the multiplayer challenges, which are great for a quick game.

King Kong - Haven't gotten very far in it but I'm not nearly as impressed with it as most people seem to be. Typical very linear movie-based game. Nothing special about the graphics or playability or anything from my point of view.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour '06 - Just like the previous version but updated for new levels of graphics and detail and so on. If you like golf games, you'll like it. Nice that it has a gambling component built in for us degenerate gamblers.

NHL 2K6 - Haven't played it very much but it seems like previous versions but w/ updated graphics/detail and a few new features (bullet time goalie stuff which I haven't actually successfully triggered yet). If you like Hockey, you'll like it.

Fight Night: Round 3 - Pretty much agree with the other players on here.. so-so single player, great heads up.

Project Gotham Racing 3 - Very solid racing game, much like the previous versions (with Kudos points and all that) but a great selection of cars and tracks, etc. Online multiplayer is hella fun.

Kameo: Elements of power - This was one of the first games I got and I was really impressed with it both from a visual perspective as well as from a playability point of view. I think the developers went out of their way to try to harness the 360's power to do things like particle systems and whatnot and as a result almost went a little overboard with some of that stuff, but the game was very enjoyable (although I beat it rather quickly, and though they try to create some replay value by leaving the world open and letting you go back and re-do certain challenges, it didn't have very much replay value for me)

Perfect Dark: Zero - Everyone was on this game's nuts, so I bought it, and I was very disappointed. Perhaps I just had bad expectations, but I was expecting sort of a splinter cell sneak-around and do stealthy things type of game, but after the initial training mission you're dropped off on a peer and supposed to sneak in and take pictures of some people... they even specifically tell you not to use your gun... but then there's a guy at the end of the peer between you and the rest of where you need to be, and you can't get by without shooting him. Weak. I basically played through the first couple of missions and then abandonded it. Nothing real impressive in terms of graphics or playability from my point of view.

From the Xbox Arcade I also bought:

Mutant Storm: Reload - Great little throwaway type of game, and I imagine would be awesome if you were on acid and/or N20, and definitely if you mixed the two.

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved - Same review as Mutant Storm.

Marble Blast Ultra - Fun Marble Madness type of game.

A friend of mine also brought over Full Auto, which I didn't play much, but seemed like it could be fun. It kinda seems like the fun might wear off fast though. Probably best as a multiplayer game after you've had a few beers. He also had DOA 4 which was fine, but basically exactly what I'd expect out of the next in the DOA series, with nothing especially impressive about the graphics or playability. I'm really hoping a good fighting game comes out for Xbox 360 that blows me away like Soul Calibur did on the Dreamcast.
