I have Burnout Paradise and I would say it is one of the best games for 360. I had the Orange Box and that game was boring, heard alot of great stuff about it but I feel its overated.

Tough decision, i was pretty dissappointed with Paradise and how they removed crash party mode (there's something similar, but it's just not the same if you've played previous Burnout games) and local multiplayer altogether, but they did add online. Everything else about the game is pretty cool and it's worth it at that price. There should be a demo on the marketplace too.

Orange Box will give you a hell of a lot more value, especially when it already has 5 games in 1. My guess is Portal and TF2 would get most of your play time. I loved Portal (probably worth the $30 by itself) and while TF2 was laggy when i first started playing it, i've heard there was a patch that fixed it. There's also the HL2 games which are kinda meh to me. The best thing to come out of the series imo are the mods.

Not sure if this helped, lol. Try the demo for BP though. If your not impressed, then i'd say go with OB.
