Need some recommendations

This was a rather expensive weekend. We finally made the HD plunge, and got an HDTV, and a 360 to go with it.

Any of you guys have recommendations for games for it?

We bought:
Mass Effect
Overlord
GTA IV
Rockband

I really like "Oblivion" and I'm looking forward to the much delayed "The Force Unleashed."

Hey, let me know how you like "Mass Effect" would you? I've been thinking about buying it.

Oblivion is definitely on my list, but I wanted a Sci-Fi RPG for a change (also reserved the special edition Fallout 3. I want that lunchbox).

I don't know what platform I want Force Unleashed on. The 360 is more powerful, but the Wii version is going to let you duel with the Wiimote.

I've only played a little Mass Effect, haven't even had a single battle yet. I just got thrown onto a planet where one is likely to happen and soon. All sorts of intrigue, and you get the equivalent to the light side/dark side that's in KOTOR.

An Xbox Live account and a bunch of extra points for downloading more music for Rock Band. They just released the Cars' first album, and they have all but one song off of Boston's first as well. It's giving this game new life every week.

How does the downloading of the songs work? Are they bound to the profile or can anyone on the box use the song, like the arcade games.

We still need to drop a wire downstairs, there's only (weak) wireless in the room with the 360.

DH has liked the Halo series and just got the latest one.
