If you are looking for a hack & slash action adventure game, i'd personally reccomend Viking: Battle for Asgard (assuming you haven't played it on the 360 already) - highly enjoyable combat system with an interesting story set in a large and open world...
Nope haven't got it for 360, infact I've never even heard of it.

It's well worth checking out and will probably go down as one of this generations under-appreciated gems - it was published by SEGA and developed (bizarrely enough) by RTS developer Creative Assembley of Total War fame, getting generally favourable reviews.
Here's a pretty fair video review from gametrailers;

It is not required. I played through the game - which I would recommend - with the Six-Axis option turned off . I used the alternative control method of holding down square steering projectiles with the analog stick. As a result, I found these sections to be the most enjoyable of the entire game.

Get it on a PC, where it's meant to be played.
There is also a Command and Conquer game coming out shortly.
Yes, Red Alert 3, which should also be played on the PC where it belongs.
Hmmm perhaps if he asked for PC recommendations then you would have a valid point. To say that your PC version of the game is the holy grail would be a gross overstatement. I don't wanna seem like a jerk, but for some reason lately, every PC gamer I come across bashes the hell out of consoles. If you don't have anything positive to say about anything stay out of topics. The OP doesn't wanna hear about the games being arguably better on the PC. I hope to god PCs would be better, they are constantly being updated and upgraded, where as a console has a shelf life of about 4 years before a new system replaces it and brings with it the newest technology. So if you don't mind get back up on your high horse and resume your life behind the monitor slaying orcs and dragons in WOW.
You may have noticed that I threw out a few fantastic PS3 game recommendations earlier in the thread. At the same time, if the PS3 has an inferior version of a game then it's my duty to point out that fact. I love consoles. I have 18 hooked up right now. At the same time, I realize that RTS and FPS games SUCK BALLS on consoles, because you don't have a mouse and keyboard. I'm not even going into the hardware differences. I'm just talking about the controls.

While I acknowledge that keyboard and mouse is a far more effective method of playing fps's, I actually prefer playing them on a control pad. RTS's hands down,can only be played on a keyboard and mouse setup though.

I might have to go back and replay it myself now, those bits were really iritating with sixaxis.
