Based on that list, I'd say Halo. Though among games with announcedrelease dates, I'm much more interested in Alpha Protocol and Dragon Age, and maybe Left 4 Dead 2 and Arkham Asylum. Not so much interested in MW2, as military games/movies/books/etc. tend to bore me (especially when they're not based on actual historical events), nor am I interested much in Assassin's Creed 2, as I hated the first (not the gameplay, but the story). BioShock 2 I'm cautiously optimistic for, though I don't see why they needed to make a sequel (apart from as an excuse to print money). I'll wait for reviews/more info on that (specifically, to hear if it's just a sequel made to make money, or if it's actually got a story as good as the first). The trailers for Splinter Cell look awesome, but I've been disappointed by Ubisoft Montreal before (see: AC,recent PoP). That said, their overall track record is outstanding (PoP: SoT trilogy, BG&E).
It's been a weak year overall compared to the last 2 (not just on 360, but in general), and while there are still some games that look good coming in the last half of the year, there aren't nearly as many as 2008 and 2007 had. 2010 has the potential to be epic, though, if the release dates for games coming then hold.
