It won't brick if you take good care of it.

Games? Fallout 3, The Orange Box, and Gears 2.

Get Mass Effect, Orange Box, and Left 4 Dead. Of course go for Gears and Halo but those game are my personal favorites.

Keep it ventilated and if it starts getting warm let it rest. You have a newer version of the xbox 360 so your chances are reduced. Though anyone can get the RROD at anytime. Also you have a three year RROD warranty.

Yes it'll do great in the winter and i'm unsure about sumer. Mine did well in 110 degree temperature. Just keep it where it can breathe like a coffee table and dust around it every three days(matters how dusty your house gets),and i'd say horizontal because if you bump the disc while it's playing you can scratch your discs.

I have a zephyr board and it has been over a year and I have taken excellent care of it. Of course I have replaced a few internals though such as the fan. Just keep it well ventilated like said above and you should be fine

Maybe for you.... My broke 2 weeks ago. I would seriously return it. But that's just me and I really hate having to deal with repairing it. It would be easier in the long run. Ps. I had my xbox up off the ground so it could get air above and below it, did the same with the power brick, and gave it breaks every 2.5 hours. It still happened to break.

Guess it was just bad luck. All xbox 360s can RROD it just has less of a chance.
