    Deadly Premonition if you like survival horror.
    Deathsmiles
    Sonic's Genesis Collection
    Just Cause series
    Dead Rising series

    All of these are fun.

    Left 4 Dead 2 (Although I liked Left 4 Dead better)
    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition (Way better than COD imho)
    Fallout 3
    Borderlands
    Red Dead Redemption
    GTA IV

    Those would be my top choices!

    In my opinion, older, cheap (< $20 new) games that are still great to play....

    Prey
    Oblivion
    Saints Row
    Crackdown (The first one)
    Burnout Paradise
    Soul Caibur 4
    Unreal Tournament III
    Eternal Sonata

    Here are some suggestions...

    Xbox Retail
    Mass Effect / Mass Effect 2
    Assassin's Creed II / Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
    Red Dead Redemption
    Grand Theft Auto IV
    Namco Museum
    Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams
    Rock Band 3

    Xbox Live Arcade
    Pac-Man: Championship Edition / Championship Edition DX
    Geometry Wars / Geometry Wars 2
    Pinball FX2
    Defense Grid: The Awakening
    Shadow Complex

    Xbox Live Indie
    Prior to the price increase, I would have suggested anything by radiangames. Now that the games are $5 each instead of $1 each, there are better deals to be had.

    I'm going to go exclusive-only here just for a bit of a challenge...

    Child of Eden
    Crackdown 1 and/or 2
    Fable 2 and/or 3
    PGR4

    Hmm, fewer than I expected. Onto the XBLA games-

    Braid (not exclusive, but still essential)
    Pac-Man DX (ditto)
    Space Giraffe

    And the indies... well, there are only really two truly great Xbox indie games- Z0MB1ES and Miner Dig Deep.

    Depends on your tastes but these are all good:

    Eternal Sonata
    Batman: Arkham Asylum
    Blur
    Mortal Kombat
    Left 4 Dead (I also prefer the first one)
    Portal 1/2
    Oblivion (and Skyrim when its released)
    Castle Crashers (XBLA)
    Sega Genesis Collection
    I reject your reality and substitute it for one of my own!

    If you want very hard retro type XBLA games, Mega Man 9/10 are sure tough enough.

    I'll second this one. I didn't mention it because it's usually around $30+ new.
    Awesome game though. One of the best RPGs ever in my opinion.

    If you like shmups, there are some great retail US releases too -- one of the biggest reasons I own the console:

    Raiden IV
    Raiden Fighters Aces (it's three or four of the non-numbered Raiden games)
    Deathsmiles

    Just played Raiden IV quite a bit tonight, actually!

    Here are some cheap and mid-priced recs:

    Fallout 3 (interchangeable with Fallout New Vegas)
    Fallout New Vegas (interchangeable with Fallout 3)
    Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 (1 is okay too, also cheaper)
    Burnout Paradise (best arcade-ish racer ever IMO)
    Lost Odyssey
    Deadly Premonition (PS2 graphics but very fun)
    Oblivion (game of the year edition if you can)
    Borderlands
    Mass Effect (1 for more RPG elements, 2 for more FPS elements)
    Divinity II (look for the Atlas re-release).
    Dragon Age: Origins
    Devil May Cry 4
    Unreal Tournament III (not much online play left)
    Project Gotham Racing 3 & 4 (super cheap racing sims)
    Dead Space 2

    There are plenty more. The 360 has a nice library. Kind of difficult to make a preference based recommendation based on the 4 games you do have.

    Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Overlord

    I loved Lost Odyssey. Blue Dragon was pretty good as well but seemed a little on the kiddie side or something.
