I am similarly a little unenthusiastic about the XBox 360, although I have a lot more games for it than you appear to have. I have got most of the games that are ranked very highly by all the reviews but have been disappointed by most of them.
Part of the problem for me is that I am not a huge FPS game fan. I do like to play 1 or 2 a year but some people play nothing but these games and for them the 360 is a great machine.
I have:
Halo 3 - I have only played the first 3 or so levels and I can't tell the difference between this and the previous games. I enjoyed and finished the first one, but only got about half way through the second. After playing some of 3 I decided I wouuld probably come back to it if I ever finished 2, which I haven't.
Orange Box - This is quite a good FPS game and I do intend to get further in it
Bioshock - I have no idea why this got such huge praise on release. The graphics are lovely but the game seems like a very average FPS game
Gears Of War - I have only played the first level of this and I thought it was terrible, everything about it. I can see that it might appeal to male teenage boys though for its ridiculous machoness
Oblivion - This is very good, and was the reason why I got my 360 in the first place
Fallout 3 - This is Oblivion gone wrong. The scenery is depressing and all looks the same and where as I can cope with the cheesy Tolkenesque dialogue of Oblivion, the cheesy Sci-Fi hard nut dialogue in this irritates me.
Forza 3 - For some reason this seems to lack a certain unidentifiable quality that is in the Gran Turismo games, I can't put my finger on why this is dull and GT is fun.
Saints Row - This was a total turn off right from the character selection menu. A dreadful knock off of GTA3 but trying to be more 'street' or 'urban'.
A bit of a mixture in the above then, but mostly negative for me. I do like a few XBox Live Arcade games such as Pac Man Championship Edition though.
At the moment I am using my 360 for going through the Indie games as I have 800 spare points. I have been through about 400 so far and found about 20 great titles! I am going to put them in a blog at some point.
