My kids and I enjoy all of the Lego games for the 360 - take your pick: Batman, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc. If you get Star Wars - get the complete saga and definitely play the first part of any of the games that have 2 parts (Batman before Batman 2, etc). For the Kinect, we enjoy Kinect Party (free on XBLA...but this may be for Gold members) as well as Just Dance 4. Speaking of Xbox Gold - check techbargains.com and/or eBay before buying. Do not attach your credit card to the box, buy membership cards and redeem them from your browser (www.xbox.com). I've never paid more than $35/year of membership - there are always deals popping up for year membership cards on buy.com, eBay.com, newegg.com, etc.
