    'Sup, bombers. I finally got around to replacing my 360 this weekend, after almost 2 years since my last one gave up the ghost.
      

    Onbviously, in that time there have been some great releases, and I'm looking to catch up. Alan Wake and Gears 3 are the reasons I finally took the dip, and I've wanted to play Shadow Complex for an age. 
     
    Besides those, what else should I be looking to play? Arcade, full-retail or otherwise. 
     
    Also, is Syphony of the Night available on XBLA in the UK?

    Bayonetta, if you haven't already played it. The 360 version of that is infinitely better than the PS3 version.

    XBLA is where it's at. There has not been many great xbox exclusives for the last two years or so.

    Got ME2 on the PC and have no interest in 1. Shadow Complex is a must, though.

    I've already got the PS3 version, but considerign I haven't played it yet and it was always a bit janky, I'll probably pick up the 360 version.

    Don't know how I never thought of that. Definitely getting Reach.

    Literally bought it yesterday for the PS3. Great game, though.

    Yeah, sadly the exclusives have been a bit lacking the past few years, so while the 360 is still my console of choice, I mostly play stuff that you probably would have gotten on the PS3 if you were interested. But hey, Halo is pretty good. And they're coming out with that new one! Which is the old one! And the actually new one too!

    Got ME2 on the PC and have no interest in 1. Shadow Complex is a must, though.

    This doesn't really pertain to your original question, but I would wholeheartedly urge you to pick up ME1 also. It gets really cheap during steam sales, pick it up for a couple of pounds or whatever. It is a really enjoyable game in its own right and some of the things they removed from the second one to "streamline" the experience were actually pretty great. 
     
    In terms of the 360... as far as exclusives go I would say XBLA is the place to look. A lot of great release on there. Although I am sure you already knew that.  
    If you like RPGs then get Lost Odyssey. There you go. An exclusive worth playing for sure. Handily enough it tends to be dirt cheap these days.
