I will start with a question, and then talk about why I am asking it.
What XBox 360 games should I be playing to get caught up with the new releases? I know several awesome games have came out over the past few years, and I need help figuring out which ones I should play.

With the question out of the way, I should inform any interested parties on why I am asking this. I am not new to video games, or even the XBox 360 for that matter. I have actually been playing the 360 sence shortly after its release. In that time I managed to get my first 360 stolen, along with some of its games. Going down the line I finally worked enough forced overtime to be able to buy a new 360! Things were great. I was able to play (and complete) Bio Shock, Mass Effect, and Assassins Creed, as well as playing a few others here an there. Then the unthinkable happend, my house was broken into and all my games and the 360 were stolen, again. Fast forward to now and I end up having an extra 300 bucks, so I get a new 360 (the sexy black elite).

My points is I have missed out on a lot of gaming over the past few years, and I want to get caught up on the great games. I am on the poor side at the moment, which is why I want to focus on mostly 'older' games, because I can get them used for alot more than new games.
