Dead Rising 1 and Crackdown 1, I'd say.

Also if you're looking at XBLA games, then try Shadow Complex.

Do you like JRPGs at all? Both Lost Odyessy and Tales of Vesperia were exclusive and are quite good. Also check out the XBLA titles, there are a number of good exclusives there.

When you put the disk in the system the little button on the main menu will say what game is in the tray and show a picture of the game if you are connected to the internet. You hit X while highlighting the game in the tray and another menu will pop up, hit install and it will begin installing.

fable 2, all halo games, all gears games (minus judgement), crackdown, banjo kazooie n&b, and battleblpck theatre off the top of my head.

viva pinata trouble in paradise is an absolute must buy though. Rare still had it for a while. $28 at gamestop.

Go into XBLA, click on Highest Rated, then just start downloading the demos for everything you see. One of many advantages 360 had over Wii and PS3 was a guaranteed demo for every single XBLA title.

I'm working off the assumption that your PC is capable of playing any multiplatform "indie" games, so this list is stuff that is (to the best of my knowledge) only available on 360.

Shadow Complex (even if you don't like Metroidvania)
Crackdown (even if you don't like open-world GTAish games).

Things you should possibly check out
Lost Odyssey (if you like traditional jRPGs)
Blue Dragon (again, if you like traditional jRPGs)
Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie (if you like 3d platformers)
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts (it's uh... different. watch some youtube first).

Panzer Dragoon Orta

Halo CE & Halo 2

Still some of the best games you could play on the 360.

Going to be honest I played the demo and decided it wasn't my kind of game. I'm sure it has some fans but it wasn't for me. Infinite undiscovery was the same for me.

Halo's. Gears 1-3. Alan Wake + American Nightmare. Lost Odyssey. Shadow Complex. Mark of the Ninja. Metro 2033. The Witcher 2. Crackdown 1 (2 is shittier).
Blue Dragon. I don't like Fable, but for some reason people do.....the anniversary comes out soon as well (the only good one IMO). Fable 2 was good actually, but it wasn't for me.

Oh, and Forza if you like racing games. You can skip 2&3 and just go for 4 and Horizon especially.

EDIT: Oh yeah if you have XBL Gold you can download Gears 1 for 'free' and Shoot Many Robots on the 16th.

Condemned if you have $5. Lost Odyssey > Blue Dragon.

I'd say Fable 2 too. A lot was already mentioned. Don't miss Halo Reach. Bungie's last Halo.

Get the Gears double pack and Gears 3.

OP im in a similar situation. Family member in the home got a 360 for Minecraft so ive finally been able to pick up a bunch of the rpgs ive missed. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Enchanted Arms, and Infinite Undiscovery(sp?). i still got a few left to get and my 360 collection is complete.

Havent played any of them yet really. The current iteration of the person that lives on our couch wasnt impressed by the first five minutes of Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon.
