If we're supposed to go into detail about why you should have these games then okay
The Orange Box is five games in one, it's an incredible deal, plus every game on it is just fantastic, Half-Life 2 has got to be my favorite FPS alongside Bioshock. Portal is charming and TF2 is great as well, even though the PC version is definitely superior in terms of content and probably community, the 360 version is still fun to play with friends if you don't have a PC that can handle TF2 (like me)
Rez HD is another fantastic game, it's on the edge of being a work of art. It's an on-rails shooter that takes place inside a computer network. The gameplay and music of the game almost seem to fuse together, and it's just a really relaxing and addictive experience.
N+ is a neat little puzzle-platformer game, you play as a ninja who lives off of gold bars. All you have to do to beat a level is open a door and enter it, but the levels get really complicated and tricky. There are multiplayer levels as well.
Soul Calibur IV is 3D fighting goodness, if you're a fan of the series a lot of the new characters are really cool to play as, and if you're a Star Wars fan this entry in the series has Yoda (for the 360) Darth Vader (for the PS3) and Starkiller from The Force Unleashed as guest characters, although honestly they're way overpowered and I don't really enjoy them as characters myself. If you have a lot of friends that like playing with you the game is definitely worth getting.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is basically the game that defined the way Castlevania games are now, you've got your open ended exploration, your different items like weapons and armor, your awesome soundtrack.. A couple of qualms are the incredibly vague tasks you must complete to get the true ending (which is apparently typical of a lot of action adventure games) and the reverse castle, basically the second half of the game (if you did all the vague stuff first, otherwise your game ends at the true halfway point and you get a shitty ending) is Dracula's castle literally just flipped upside down, with different enemies. It's an incredibly lazy way to make a game longer and might make you want to stop playing but work through it and you'll find that you're still probably having fun.
