CAGiversary!
Not sure if this is the right place for this but I'm new to 360 just got a few weeks ago any suggestions on 20$ or under games that should get me started I'm interested in the Fable series are they any good? Any ideas?
 
I would say get the Gears of War Triple Pack which comes with Gears 1 and Gears 2 w/ all DLC which is $25 right now on Amazon but has been cheaper. Also get Gears of War 3 which is $16 right now. Fable is pretty fun, I never played Fable 2 and didn't finish Fable 1 but Fable 3 is pretty good, worth getting. Also consider getting all the Halo games (maybe rent ODST). Thats for exclusives for 3rd party get GTA4 and the 2 DLC, Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect 1-3.
 
All the Fable games are fun but I recommend Fable 1 over 2/3. It is an Original Xbox game but is just so good.

Crackdown was a pretty good game as well but it is an older 360 game.

Which means it'll be cheap as heck, so I'll second that recommendation.

Also, download Mark of the Ninja on XBL. It'll be on sale on 12/20, but even at full price it's well worth it.
 
Have to agree with my fellow CAG's about the Gears series; it's totally worth it. I would also suggest just browsing the Xbox Live marketplace to find some things you may like (but a sale starts in a couple days so i would suggest waiting on some things in case they do go on sale)
 
Dead Space 1 and 2 are fantastic if you love survival horror, and they've been out for a while so I'm sure they're cheap. Also Borderlands is a great loot-and-shoot RPG, and Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are good for 40+ hours of hardcore RPG-ing each.
 
How about the first 2 Bioshocks? When I first got my Xbox, both games were relatively cheap and I absolutely fell in love with the series.
 
Suggestions :

-Dead Space , should be fairly cheap at the moment, a great horror game if you are into those.
-Bioshock 1 and 2, both have great stories and you might possibly want to play through them more than once.
-I would even try Trials (its an Xbox Live Arcade Game) but I believe Trials Evolution will be on sale this upcoming week during the XBL sale they will have.
-Oblivion GOTY edition, a great RPG that you can spend numerous hours with.
-Kingdom of Keflings (I know might seem weird as a suggestion but something about that game wouldnt let me put it down)

If you wanna add me on XBL : iKilledChewbaca
 
If you have interest in the arcade titles on the Xbox 360, and follow the advice above about Trials, try getting the Arcade Compilation 3 Pack Microsoft offers. It has Trials HD, Limbo and 'Splosion Man on disc, and can be found frequently for $10 online (which is usually the standard price for each game if bought individually from the Xbox Marketplace) from places like NewEgg and Amazon.

They're 3 distinct games, but a fairly grand in style and scope for mere arcade titles. Plus, there are demos for each game online, so you can try them for free to see if they appeal to you.

And if you have interest in games like Fable, where you get to explore, try looking at the Mass Effect Series. There's demos available for 2 and 3, which are both very different from the first game, so look at videos on YouTube to see if you'd enjoy how they play. EA recently released a Mass Effect Trilogy bundle, but it lacks the downloadable content for each of the games (and there's a lot of it for each which adds lots of extra playable content for the stories). The bundle is $60 now, but if you follow this site there's bound to be a deal on it soon enough.

And if you get into the Gears of War series, keep in mind that it has 2 player cooperative play in both 1 and 2, via either online or split-screen, so you can play the full game with someone else if you're interested. If you're looking to play with others, the Halo games (3, ODST, Reach, Anniversary and 4) have the ability to be played in cooperative throughout the campaign, too, so check out those.

Maybe this will help give us some more accurate recommendations...

Do you have a PS3? (That way we know if you are more looking at exclusives or not)
What type of games are you into? (FPS, Horror, Action/Adventure, Platformer, Racing, Sports, RPG, etc)
