Xbox 360 - Prey

I really like Prey for the Xbox 360. In Prey, you play the role of Tommy, a Cherokee warrior with special mystic abilities including the ability to spirit walk. The game has a great story compared to typical first person shooters and the brief dialog interspersed throughout the levels really adds to the overall experience. The game designers did a great job of visually melding organic and mechanical elements to create other-worldly levels and a deep sense of immersion. Two interesting game play elements include shifting gravity and portals. Both game play elements are often used as puzzles and often grant access to previously inaccessible areas in the game.

Xbox 360 - Media Center

Scott Hanselman wrote a great article about the Xbox 360 media center and multimedia features found natively in the Xbox 360 console including the New Xbox Experience.

Xbox 360 - New Xbox Experience (NXE)

On November 19, 2008, Microsoft launched the New Xbox Experience (NXE) for the Xbox 360 console in North America. Most people with Xbox Live have probably already heard about the new avatars; however, a really slick feature is the ability to embed your avatar in a webpage by linking to a special image directly on Microsoft's servers.

Here's an example of my Xbox Live avatar:

To display your avatar on a Web page, insert an image with one of the following URLs:

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Verious/avatar-body.png
http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Verious/avatarpic-l.png
http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Verious/avatarpic-s.png

Replace "Verious" with your Xbox Live screen name.
