I just purchased a Xbox 360 and i'm wondering what the best games are???

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 and i am going to get two games in a few hours, need help deciding which games to get.

Thanks!

For single player, you can't do any better then The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. 

For online multiplayer, my favorites are Rainbow Six: Vegas, Chromehounds, and Gears of War.

Other great games are Crackdown, Burnout Revenge, GRAW 1 & 2, Call of Duty 2 & 3, F.E.A.R. and Just Cause.  There are tons more great games for the 360, but I just listed my personal favorites.  Enjoy your new system and games!

Mine are Saints Row, Gears of War, Dead Rising, Rainbow Six, Elder Scrolls 4 : Oblivion. It really depends on whether or not you have Live because some games you can make 3 times better by playing online.

Shooters: Gears of War, COD 3, Graw 2, Lost Planet, Rainbow Six

RPG: Oblivion

Racing: PGR3

Other: Kameo, Burnout, LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth 2, Dead Rising, Guitar Hero 2

Dead rising

Rainbow 6: Vegas

 GRAW 1 and 2

Gears of War

Command and Conquer

Rainbow six >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gears

Also, oblivion is 10000000000000000000000 times better on PC.

EDIT:

forza 2 and DiRT are coming out pretty soon if you like racing games:)

Dead or Alive 4 & Quake 4STABW0UND

go to XBL marketplace, download a few demoes and buy the two you like the best.

1) Oblivion (must-own RPG)
2) Rainbow Six Vegas (best shooter on 360... for now)
3) Dead Rising (zombies, dude)

Might also want to check out:
1) Guitar Hero 2 (because God gave rock-and-roll... to YOU)
2) Dead Or Alive 4 (brutally difficult, but fun)
3) Tony Hawk's Project 8 (next-gen Tony Hawk... y'know?)
4) Viva Pinata (seriously)
5) Gears Of War (I think it sucks, but a lot of people think it doesn't)

EDIT: Hitman Blood Money is also very good. And Oblivion is NOT better on PC. I have both... the PC version feels like an after-thought, in addition to running poorly even on top-end systems when you've got the settings cranked. I'm no console elitist -- Morrowind and Doom 3 were better on PC than on Xbox, Fear and Quake IV were far better on PC than 360 -- I'm just keepin' it real.
