If you like old 90s arcade beatemups like Battletoads or Turtles in Time get Scott Pilgrim. You dont even have to like the comics or the movie at all it's just really good by itself. And all the sprites are made by Paul Robertson.

DWARFINATORclock

out of all those games you listed only
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed III
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts 'n Bolts
dont suck

maybe kameo is alright too

i suggest:
mass effect 1-3
alpha protocol
saints row 2-3 (3 improved A LOT on everything)
star wars tfu 1-2
max payne 3
the darkness 1 (not 2)
alan wake
dragon age origins
crackdown 1 (not 2)

maybe eat lead too. its a shitty game but pretty funny and you can probably pick it up for like 2 bucks

AmberArachnidClock

deadly premonition. disclaimer: haven't played it yet.

RobClock

Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and anything by Bethesda.

MonsterMunch

Slightly less obvious ones;

Just Cause 2
Dead Rising 2: Off The Record
Fallout: New Vegas (Providing you're online so you can download the six million patches needed)
Braid

Would you count Xbox Live Arcade titles? If so, I'd personally suggest Castle Crashers, Ikaruga, and perhaps Doom 2 for the new episode (Which from what i heard is actually good).

FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK

Speaking of scrolling shooters get Radiant Silvergun.

patriotclock

Mass Effect series
Gears of War series
Skyrim & Oblivion
Red Dead Redemption

also if youre considering original xbox games get Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic ASAP

FLOUNDERMAN_CLOCK

I think Stubbs the Zombie is 360 compatible, get that.

Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo are NOT worth it. Do not even fucking bother. Rare died in 2002 and don't you forget it. Someone earlier recommended Dragon Age and honestly I wouldn't bother with that either. If it was for PC, sure, but the console versions are pretty much just watered down ports that turned out terribly. A fine game but stick to the PC version if you can help it.

Echoing the sentiments of the Mass Effect series. The series really shines on the 360. Other then that definitely check out Lost Odyssey as I believe it to be one of the 360's greatest hidden gems.

Get Bioshock and also if you haven't played them yet, get Metal Gear HD collection.

not really big on console gaming, but I played marvel vs capcom 3 with a friend, and needless to say, it was one of the most fun experiences i've had with another dude on a console since SSBM.

Was thinking about getting it for PC, but yeah not a bad idea.

As someone who beat the game on PC and then on PS3 after that, I'd have to say I don't entirely agree with Nintendo on this. I can give you a quick breakdowns. I think both of my playthroughs took over 75 hours with about another 20 for the expansion so I certainly had time to get a good feel for both versions.

The PC version has the advantage of better graphics, mmo style skill bars, and better potential battle control with the overhead view.

The PS3/360 Version still has a competent control scheme, though it can't do the overhead view and the skills/items work through a radial menu.

To compensate for the PC control's advantages, the game is harder on PC. Friendly fire is on by default and the difficulty in general is a bit tougher. Since FF is off by default on console and the difficulty is adjusted to meet the controls, the real difference you'll feel the most in control is that you can get away with playing sloppier on the console. It's not necessarily less fun, but personal preference is key. The PC version will be more precise but more punishing, the console version will still get you the full experience of the game, just without the overhead view really. You can turn on the friendly fire by upping the difficulty though, so you can still get the challenge of the PC version even on the console. The advantage the PS3 has is being able to play a game this huge more comfortably from your couch or whatnot. The comfort part is personal preference so your mileage may vary on that aspect.

Technically the game is better on PC with graphics and controls but the reason I switched a lot of my single player gaming to console holds true here. To me, sitting at a PC for multiplayer is fine but for long single player games I'd rather be comfortable than hunched at a desk.
