[...] Their first idea was to load up Arrival. After we finished watching the short introductory cutscene, my “Campaign Complete: Legendary” achievement instantly popped up. If I would have known the fix was that easy, I would have done it long ago! Next up were the terminals. We ended up doing all of them, making sure I got the red triangle each time. Their best guess was that I had backed out too early with one of them before. Regardless, another achievement unlocked! Then we worked on some of the smaller achievements I still hadn’t gotten. As I can only shoot stationary targets with the laser, they had me pick up invincibility and then took me up in a hornet. They got me super close to a banshee so there was no way I could miss it and then one year and three days after Halo 3 was released, I unlocked the “Too Close to the Sun” achievement. About fucking time, eh? They were also determined to get me “Headshot Honcho” so they wandered around lowering shields while I sniped trees, rocks, and everything except for the targets. Two hours and four achievements later, I had received a very nice 175 point boost to my gamerscore. Despite the fact that I am the biggest n00b in Halo history, they never made me feel bad and were nothing but patient while I prayed and sprayed my way through the objectives. While I typically don’t worry about the achievement side of things, I’m pretty motivated right now to finish up the meta-game ones I still need. I think I may have found an activity for tomorrow’s Xbox Live downtime. [...]

The Force Unleashed

I bought it first day and took Halo time out of it before finishing the game. So I’ll play the last two levels I need to complete the hard level and get most of the achievements.

TFU is a good game. Not great, in my opinion. But for a one day game it matches up to just about anything else. Not so much replay value in the 360 version, except for achievements.

I’d prolly play Ninja Gaiden 2 but I stopped playing it for a month or so and now I can’t do anything in the game. Just got the werewolves and I get pwnt pretty hardcore. As it is I’ll prolly continue to play Rockband 2 since you don’t need much from Live for that.

Bioshock and Mass Effect are two of the best games I’ve ever played, period. Also, nice list. I’ll have to check a few out.

my vote easily goes for Oblivion, which I am knee-deep in right now, with like my 4th character. The replay value of this game is actually phenomenal when you pick a different character class.

If Dead Space was out, it would be on my list, even though I haven’t played it, yet. It looks (well how can I describe it) AWESOME!

Marathon Durandal is also a good one for solo.
