So I just received an Xbox 360 Slim and it's been awhile since I've been on Xbox Live. I currently have a few codes for 2 free days of Xbox Live. Is there anything free and interesting I could try out or anything I've been missing out on?

The Xbox 360 is the second game console produced by Microsoft Corporation and is the successor to the original Xbox.
Just got an Xbox 360 Slim anything free and interesting on XBL?
I mean, as far as free XBL arcade games there's not a whole not in the way. Currently the only two free ones I've recently played are Happy Wars and Doritos Crash Course. If you look around online, you're bound to find a list of free XBL arcade games.
The paid ones are the ones you're really going to want to go after. Obviously if you spend money on a game, you can expect a high quality game. Pick up some microsoft points and download Castle Crashers, Minecraft, Counter-Strike, Braid, etc. just to name a few.
Wreckateer is free for the tenth anniversary of Xbox Live (November 15th and 16th), but that's a Kinect game.
Besides apps there's pretty much nothing free on XBLM. Sometimes they have OK sales but nothing ever fantastic.

I wouldn't recommend anyone play Counter-Strike on a 360.
Aegis Wing, Happy Wars, and Dorito's Crash Course are all free. Not much else, though.
Party chat is still pretty great, so annoying to organize people together on PS3, that doritos game is worth checking out Crash Course, a pretty fun platformer with your avatar.

What about that Intel game?
Edit: here it is
@Mr_Skeleton: He said free and interesting. I feel justified in leaving that out of my list, lol. Watching Jeff play that game will be the most enjoyable way to discover if you have any want to experience that game.

Don't play minecraft or CS on a console, dude.
It's not free, but if you're a fan of the "Metroidvania" style games (Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night) I HIGHLY recommend Shadow Complex. It's the best homage to Super Metroid I've ever played, and it's been one of my favorite games on Xbox 360 since I got the console in 2006.
