what are some good games that aren't first person shooters

Okay, here's my list that's pretty comprehensive.

Role-Playing

• Mass Effect


• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

Action

• Assassin's Creed


• Dead Rising


• Saints Row


• Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent

Music

• Rock Band


• Guitar Hero III

Sports

• Skate


• NHL 08

Racing

• Forza 2


• DiRT


• Project Gotham Racing 4

Strategy

• Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars


• The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II

Flying

• Ace Combat 6

Fighting

• Dead or Alive 4

Shooter

• Gears of War

That's a pretty solid list, but it also depends on what you're into.

Can you name anything you have right now that you enjoy, or have liked in the past?

For instance, Splinter Cell: Double Agent maybe an option for you if you're into espionage/stealth.

Another action/strategy title may be Ghost Recon 2.

Are you looking for strictly newer titles, or does it matter?

Burnout Revenge is an addictive arcade racer with plenty to play for, and games over XBL play to its name: revenge.

If you're just looking for a fun platformer check out Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. It includes all 6 chapters, tons of unlockables and is a quirky adaptation of story.

Also, if you have a chance, you can always just check out demos (when available) over XBL!

well you two covered just about everything.
