    Ikaruga is always good.

    Every Extend Extra is kick ass.

    Puzzle Quest (the original, not Galactrix) will waste HOURS of your time.

    Castlevania: SOTN is a classic.

    Going for lesser known titles, I highly recommend N+ and Eets: Chowdown.

    Aces of the Galaxy is a pretty decent Star Fox clone, and I'm shocked no one has said Geometry Wars (1 or 2) yet.

    I'd skip 1 and go for Geometry Wars 2. More game modes and way more fun than the first.

    Would I get laughed at if I suggested Uno?

    You can't get any better than Uno with a vision camera. Good times all around.

    On PC maybe. On XBLA you just don't get the fine control.

    Miner Dig Deep, its an indie game where you mine for minerals sounds simple but try the demo has a lot of depth for an indie game
