I highly recommend Bioshock. It's dark, creepy, with gameplay that is just plain fun. Plus, the story line is pretty interesting.

Either get the Orange Box or Call of Duty 4. I'd recommend the Orange Box first, but maybe you're a big multiplayer person, in which case go for CoD.

For FPS [First person shooters] go for: ( in no particular order)

Halo 3 - amazing singleplayer, online play is a bit lacking in the eyes of the halo community

Call of Duty 4 - currently the #1 Xbox live game meaning awesome multiplayer. Also has a pretty sweet singleplayer

Bioshock - not your run of the mill FPS, but its still entertaining. If you're into "thrillers" or "creepy/disturbing" games

Bioshock is for you. You can also utilize special powers that change gameplay altogether...which makes me a bit

hestitant to give it full title of FPS...but more of an FPS/RPG hybrid.

Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 - Now I personally have only played this game at a friends house, but it was pretty awesome for the

small amount of time that I played it. Has a good singleplayer/co-op and also a pretty good

online mutiplayer aswell.

If you want a TPS [thrid person shooter] than go for:

Gears of War - great visuals and awesome co-op/singleplayer. Online play is lacking...and replay value to some is low.

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter - although it is a bit old, I still think this is a pretty good game. GRAW 2 was a big

letdown...but this has fun singleplayer and an entertaining co-op mode.

ugh and I guess I could list more.. but thats a lot of typing.. haha

hope you have fun

if you dont have xbox live then completely exclude call of duty 4 from your list because the single player will only last you one playthrough or about 5 hours. and even if you do have xbox live you shouldnt buy call of duty 4 because you will get murdered online and end up hating the game because it is ridiculously unbalanced since it rewards people who have played the game longer with much better guns and abilities. stick with the orange box or my personal vote with bioshock. you cant go wrong with either of those though. and someone said cod4 was a tactical shooter when it definitely is not.

Orange Box for sure. More value for your buck. Three Half life games, one great unique puzzle First person game in Portal and one multiplayer game in Team fortress (although I'd say it's the weakest of the OB collection). So you get it all with Orange Box especially if you like good stories and physics with your shooters.

I'd say the best games would be Cod4, Halo3, BF: Bad Company, and Gears of war. I'm not to sure what to suggest, perhaps Gears of War since it has an awesome 2nd game coming out (Gow2) and wont start you in confused like Halo3 (without knowing the series.)
