Yoooooo... so I'm looking for some recommendations for the 360. I'll play pretty much any type of game so fire away. Thanks in advance!

BlazBlue Continuum Shift or wait for Extend to come out (maybe it did, not exactly sure). Anyway, it's a snazzy 2D fighter that isn't super well known. Lots of cool combos and its great to pick up and play with some couch buddies.

Prey, especially if you like easy. You're character basically cannot die. Just enjoy the scenery, have your mind blown with some weirdness and kill monsters while solving puzzles. Eary gen. 7 game is out there for cheap.

Id have to say Crackdown.

Its as old as the 360 is, and its still fun despite my playing it only a few months ago.

Deadly Premonition, because COFFEE!

I'd also take a shot at Metro 2033. I don't know if you could consider it "hidden" or not, but it's an excellent game.

And finally; Earth Defense Force 2017. You shoot bugs and blow stuff up. It's awesome.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts. Despite its criticism for being too different from the original series it's a fun wacky racing game that gives you the chance of being creative for a change.

Dead or Alive XTreme Beach Volleyball 2. It's got great big...scene designs. And the jiggling ahem, physics engine is top notch! And you can play with yourself poker with cute female japanese voices saying random things at you all day long!

Heh heh, I kid, I kid. My honest recomendation for a "hidden gem" goes to Burnout Revenge. Old, old racing game but I found it to be wildly entertaining. Any racing game that has a mode where your entire objective is to see how massive and horrific you can make a traffic accident gets a gold star in my book. :p

Dead Rising 1 & 2 : guaranteed fun, especially DR 2.
Command & Conquer 3: a quality RTS game, with all the C&C cliches that we loved.
Fable II: action-rpg with a great sense of humour and with enough freedom of choices to make you feel that you are indeed playing a role playing game, not only technically rpg, but rpg in its core.
Zuma (Xbox Live Arcade): one of the most addictive casual games you could come across.
Deadly Premonition: this is a special case. It isn't good or bad game, it is "cult".

I'd agree with the above posters on Metro: 2033, Blazblue and the Darkness, although you could get the Darkness 2 which came out recently.

I'd also add Prototype, not really hidden but it's a very fun game if you like it.

get Witcher 2 when it releases on the 360, the new content really iron outs the problems from release.

There's no F or K in that coffee!!!

Seriously this, get this game. Be forewarned it is like the gaming equivalent of a B movie, it is so bad that it is actually good.

You can give Resonance of Fate a try. It's a bit hard to get used to with the battle system and grinding but once you do, its enjoyable.

Either of the Klonoa games are tremendous fun and have aged really well.

Condemned CO is one of my favourite first person titles with a combat mechanic that never gets old.

Alien Trilogy: my preferred final doom/quake era shooter.

The SKATE series is a lot of fun if your into games that require training and skill but are hugely rewarding.

I know it's not really hidden but get megaman 9, It's one of my favourite megaman titles.

Q.U.B.E is a lot of fun but is a shameless mirrors edge/portal rip.

Resident Evil outbreak 1 and 2 are the best resident evil titles apart from 4,
they're the only ones that are genuinely scary.

Really? The only ones I would class as not scary are 4 & 5. They're action games, not survival horror.

Also, I'd say the REmake was head & shoulders above the others, and I doubt I'd be alone in saying that
I completely forgot about the REmake, yes thats scary and damn good, not as fun as res 4 but definitely one of the best in the series. All of the games have their scary moments like the labs in 4 but outbreak is the one that really emphasises the Survival. Most of the time you have about 5 shots for a pistol and 4 inventory slots, not being an action game it's not annoying. and outbreak 1 has that hospital stage when your being followed by the leech people in the ventilation which is about as scary as the res games get. In all the others you could walk through a door and escape but the leech people would follow you throughout the building and took an age to kill. It's far more consistant in it's horror theme than the rest as well and never really gets into silly territory like a lot of the games do, with the exception of zombie elephants but at least that was kind of believable compared to Wesker, Alfred, Salazar, chief psycho irons etc...

I think not having a consistant story did the series a world of good when it was trying to be horror.

Try The Warriors video game. Classic game for a classic movie IMHO.
This game is a really good game, especially if you have someone else playing it with you.

Also, you could try Lost Odyssey. It's a JRPG, and it's really long, but once you get into it, it's great.

Finally! Someone else who liked that game besides me!

OT: Cthulhu Saves the World, on the Xbox Live Indie Games thing. Old style, cheap, funny, enjoyment.

That's the problem with this gen! It takes so much money and skill that there are no hidden gems. The PS2 and 1 has a huge library but sadly it's not so for the PS3 and 360.
