Deathsmiles and Espgaluda II Black Label, those two shmups burned up a lot of my time.
As the Xbox 360 was my first experience with any xbox console. And the only reason I ended up with an xbox one was Cuphead. There was a lot of other games that I played on the 360 but these are the ones that made and impression on me and the only ones that I remember without digging out my stash.

I have an Awesome memory of playing Halo: ODST with @SpartanEvolved @Grindspine and @mastermario.  We completed the entire game during a LAN session.  This was tough... maybe even grueling to finish the game in 1 night.

I also have fond memories of playing Gears of War 2 and 3 with several others... and I believe @SpartanEvolved as well.   Halo Reach... same thing.  Those were really awesome and fun times in Gaming.

We might need a post on that game, @retro junkie - I completely forgot about it.  It looks like it had pretty good ratings.   Launched December 2006... man... time sure flies.

My favorite memories are mostly Halo related. LAN parties for Halo and Halo 2 especially. Playing through Halo 3 with a ton of people. Midnight releases for Halo and Gears of War games.

I'll never forget playing Dead or Alive 4 and here's this like super Japanese game and the end song is Aerosmith?? Loved that. DoA Volleyball had surprisingly fun volleyball.

Crackdown and Bulletstorm being a bonus for preordering something else and turning out to be amazing games on their own.

Oblivion and Skyrim are still games I think about to this day as well.

@Mai Valentine  --> Yeah... Gears of War 3 and Reach really had an impact.  I liked Gear of War and played it in Chicago with my buddy... same with Gears of War 2.  However, for whatever reason, Gears of War 3 really resonated and played more with @SpartanEvolved and @XFaKToRX.  I cannot remember if @mastermario ended up joining with us. LOL... with XfaKToRX... we used to have the Gears 3 ridiculous running sound bytes on our cell phones.

I played Reach with @Grindspine @mastermario and @SpartanEvolved at times... and then also with my buddy in Chicago.  For some reason, those games resonated the most.  The Halo series was cool... but reach, IMO, is where it was at.

Bullet Storm LOL... this was a surprising game.  That was pretty well done.  that is a great mention
