GAF, help me pick some good/great Xbox 360 games

Edit: I heartily enjoyed Kameo but the game is kind of polarizing. I'm also not sure how well it has aged... Can probably find it for cheap at least.

If you like shooters and have someone to co-op with:
Halo 3/ODST
Gears of War 2

Definitely try the XBLA standouts:
N+
Geometry Wars 2
Trials HD
Shadow Complex
Castle Crashers

No, I haven't bought one (HDD) yet. 60GB should be big enough, right? My 60GB PS3 still has plenty of space left on it after 3 years of use.

I have a 20, 60 and a 120. 60 will be fine if you're not going to install multiple games on it at the same time. I picked up one of the home-made ones for cheap over here (but it's missing backward compatibility).

You can buy that 60gb pack which comes with 3 months live gold card and a headset maybe.
 
Don't you get one free month of Gold when you sign up for Silver on a new Xbox?

I think this weekend is a free Live weekend too, so you should be able to play games online.

Oh really? I could be wrong about having the Silver membership. I'm still new at this Xbox Live thingy. :D :D
 
I'm just going to go with XBLA since that is were the system really shines.

Trials HD
Shadow Complex
Splosion Man
Geo Wars 2
Rez HD
Omega Five
Ikaruga
Puzzle Quest
Castle Crashers
Pac Man CE/Galaga Legions
 
If you like shooters, Halo 3's campaign is great if you've played the previous games, or at the very least Halo 2's. Halo: CE and H2 are playable on your 360 via BC, so you should check them out if you haven't.

Besides that, I'd personally consider these must-play exclusives:

Tales of Vesperia
Lost Odyssey
Blue Dragon
Mass Effect
Fable (I & II)
Kameo
Gears of War
Gears of War 2 (Campaign Co-op and Horde)

For XBLA exclusives, my personal favorites are:

Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Marvel vs. Capcom 2
Wallace & Gromit
Pac-Man Championship Edition
Shadow Complex
Castle Crashers (Though I understand it's coming to PSN eventually)
Braid (If you didn't grab it when it came to PSN recently)
