Re: 360 Woes (help needed)
Gears of War is a 3rd-person shooter and is one of the most successful 360 games yet. Gameplay-wise it's closer to a FPS than action/adventure, but it's a really solid game (and looks great).
Others will disagree, but I think that Stranglehold is pretty fun, although it's not likely to be 25 hours of gameplay. If you play the demo, don't judge it until you unlock the harder the difficulty levels - it's starts out too easy (not forcing you to use cover or do any cool tricks), but by the time you unlock "hard boiled" it's actually quite fun and rewarding. Also, spend a minute adjusting the gamma/graphics settings, because for some reason they have it defaulting to "butt ugly".
Like Dire said, check out the demos on XBL - there are a ton of them on there. They can take hours to download, though, so go on and start one downloading before you sit down to play (it'll download in the background).
