sweet, welcome to the club. Hope you enjoy your box.

As for the games, I'll start by saying the best FPS is of course Halo.
The best fighter is Dead Or Alive 3 or Soul Calibur 2.

RPGs:Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Morrwind: Game of the Year, & Shenmue II are the only real RPGs worth buying on the system.

The best sports games are:

Football: ESPN NFL Football (NCAA 2004 for college)
Basketball: ESPN NBA Basketball
Hockey: ESPN NHL Hockey
Tennis: Top Spin
Golf: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
Snowboarding: SSX 3
Skateboarding: Tony Hawk 3
Racing: Midnight Club II, Moto GP 2, Pro Race Driver, Project Gotham Racing II, Need for Speed Underground & NASCAR Thunder 2004. Those are all great racing games.

(the ESPN games by Sega you can play online, the same is true for Top Spin, Midnight Club 2 & Project Gotham Racing II.)

Since you mentioned strategy games, the best game in this genre currently on the box is Gladius by LucasArts (It's a Strategy/RPG). It is turn based however.

On a different note a few of the best but different types of games on the system are Jet Set Radio Future, Panzer Drgoon Orta and GUNVALKYRIE, the aren't for everyone but they are great games if you like the genre.

Finally, LIVE is fun, but it's not great. Your gaming experiance all depends on who you find to play with truthfully. Personally, I haven't experianced to much lag or too many kids online with social problems, but they are there. LIVE is what you make of it, I think it's good and it is only going to improve and grow. Currently LIVE is mostly geared towards sports and combat fans with a few racing games.

Also if you plan to sign up for LIVE make sure you check out all the LIVE payment plans at xbox.com
