(or is it "an xbox" can't seem to figure it out when it's brand-names wether it's "an" or "a")
[offtopic] The rule for whether you use "a" or "an" is solely based on whether or not the spoken word begins with a vowel sound or a consonant sound. The only reason "an" exists is because saying, for example, "a apple" is awkward due to the fact that you're trying to say two separate vowels in a row. So, you add the consonant "n" to "a" to form "an" and say "an apple" instead. Therefore, the answer is that, since Xbox is pronounced "ecks-bocks", beginning with a vowel sound, you should say "an Xbox." It's correct, and it's less awkward. [/offtopic]
As for the topic, I'd say:
Street Fighter IV (of course it's not out yet but it looks good)
Dead Rising
Ninja Gaiden 2 (if you like fast, bloody action games)
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (if you like sorta-realistic fps shootin')
Resident Evil 5 (another one that hasn't come out but looks to be a good one)
Thanks for clarifying it, never too old to learn!
I am a complete wuss when it comes down to "horror games" occasionally i still have nightmares about resident evil 2, which was over 5 years ago that i played it...(they don't scare me anymore nowadays, but they are still stuck in my head)
Dead rising seems to be a solid choice, as free-roamy goodness combined with dismembering zombies sounds very good.
Street fighter IV looks too good to pass up on.
Ninja gaiden 2 was as far as i've heard less ninja's, more demons, which put me off for that title.
Vegas is shooty, but not really my style, i prefer the more arcady shooters, or 100% realism shooters such as FLashpoint, which is mostly PC only.

You sound like you hate it before you even bought it. What kind of games are you buying it for? You listed very different games so it looks like you will enjoy a lot of games on 360.
BTW, Halo 3 IS pretty awesome, it's among the best, if not the best, FPS on consoles. Plus, multiplayer is not likely to die anytime soon.
I hate consoles, yes, but ever since I've seen Castle-crashers i felt i must has it.
Halo 3 IS indeed pretty awesome, but I feel that my money will be spent better elsewhere, as I know I wont put in the hours needed to become good at shootan with a controller, I'd rather play my FPS'es with a (decent) laser mouse and keyboard.
The Xbox will mainly be for "good looking" games, Co-op games(at least until i can afford a 2nd computer for guest players) and Console-exclusive titles, minus the FPS'es.
Also, i am a bit IFFY about former-Rare titles, as i've played the games released under nintendo, which makes me biased.
So, any other exbawks titles for co-opy or otherwise awesome goodness?
So far my list consists of;
Castle crashers
Braid
Street fighter IV
Rez HD
Crackdown
Dead rising
Afro samurai(Don't judge me; I like Samuel L)
Warhammer 40K; Space marine(for Intimate brutality, shitrox)
GTA4 has more potential on PC, so i will most likely stick with that.
I think I've got a good list going there, Thanks all!
Always interested in hearing arguments for why a game is awesome(preferably not yet mentioned in this thread.)
