I'm feeling California and looking Minnesota.

"Best games of now" (In no particular order) would have to include:

Bioshock: For one who completes this game, there is no rival single player experience available on the 360.  Story, depth, catchy gameplay and awesome twists makes this one of the best entertainment experiences I've had.

Gears of War:  A solid (yet light) single player with an unbelievably fun multiplayer experience.  I've played this game more than any other by far.

Halo 3:  Now, if I had a group of people to play it with, this may be my top choice.  A game with more solid features than any console game out there with the repetitively fun gameplay to match.  A game that allows you to redesign your favorite maps to your liking,  record your favorite moments of both single and multiplayer, take pictures then upload them online and still give you that "YES! 50-49!!!" feeling deserves a top spot among the best games available.

Grand Theft Auto 4: While ultimately I feel GTA 4 was about 4 fries short of the greatest happy meal ever, I cannot deny the awesome moments that can be found in GTA 4.  Playing Free Roam with your friends can rival any multiplayer experience out there and the single player is long enough to keep you satisfied for hours on end.  A truly 'great' game.

Portal: Portal takes the Orange Box over the edge. Creative, fun and hilarious gameplay design puts Portal among some of the great games available this generation.

Gears of War- of course, this ones a given. I really don't even have to go into details, you know this game is, of course, like the best game EVAR. The sequel might make me have a panic attack since it seems so much greater.

BIOSHOCK- just like SweetTea said, this is probably one of, if not, the greatest games I have ever played. This game literally has no flaws. Well maybe a few, but not many. The art design, the STORYLINE(zOmg. sorry, I just go crazy for a good story), the graphics, the controls (suprisingly a good category for this game),etc. If you haven't played this game (who hasn't?) and don't mind a few frights, this game is DEFINITELY for you. No doubt.

Halo 2- now, hear me out. Most of you say that Halo 2's story was attrocious and that the game in general was a letdown. but, this was the game that actually introduced me to online gaming. The multiplayer was AMAZING (at least, at the time). And I didn't even have the annoying little kid factor into play yet because sadly, I was a wee lad too (like 11 years old, I know, I know). To me, the campaign was great. Alot creepier than its predessor(sp?). If it wasn't for this game, I probably wouldn't have Live. Let alone a 360.

Halo 3- I enjoyed it just as much as Halo 2. The thing that puts it on my list is Forge and Theater. Two of the most useful things for making videos like machinimas and stuff.

and thats about it, there are a bunch more games that were amazing, but they wern't the GREATEST (these include: MGS4, Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, Phoenix Wright series, and much more)

1. GTA IV - Single player was truly epic, I loved the story (even though most missions did get a little repetitive)

2. Rock Band - Easily one of the best games out right now. I never realized how fun it actually is to sing haha.

3. Assassin's Creed - A game about something that happened in history? That's my kind of game.

4. Call of Duty 4 - Awesome single player and alright MP

5. Bioshock - One of, if not, the best single player I have probably ever played.
