I was playing Enslaved: Odyssey to the West when suddenly my Xbox 360 shutdown all by itself. I tried turning it back on, but it won't work. It doesn't even show the Red Rings like the RRoD typical does, it just won't turn on. The system itself isn't all that attractive, but the power supply is really hot. The power supply also shows a red light, which I'm not sure if that's normal or not. What should I do?

Sounds like you need a replacement.

Unplug every wire then plug them all in again. You could have had some sort of power surge.

Unplug the power supply from your 360 and the outlet and let it cool. Once it's cooled down, replug it into everything. If it shows a red light, chances are that the PSU bit the dust. See if you could get another one and test it out. If the 360 doesn't turn on with the new one, the old PSU probably fried something inside.
