I'm interested in trying out the CSI game, guess I'll use my new Gamefly subscription for that, all of the sports games from 06 are pretty easy to complete and get the 1000 GS....

At my house I have a stack of 'fun games' and a stack of 'waffle games' those 7 definitely made the waffle stack. My fun games include Fallout 3, Saints Row 2, Fable 2, Left4Dead and Rockband 2.

Jericho is actually really fun, I don't see people's problems with it. My friend just finished 1000/1000 it and said it's easy because you can just play the game on Hard and activate some cheats like extra damage and unlimited ammo and it only takes a couple of hours to blow through. I also know you can get the melee 'cheebs with the sword chick, and the headshots and ghost bullet kills with the sniper chick. Everyone else is moot.
Superman is actually a pain in the ass. You have to find 100 kitties around the huge city. You can use cheats (unlimited energy helps the tedium) and still get the Achievements.
Open Season is sort of fun in its own way, as you solve most problems by throwing forest buddies around. The snowball level is hellish to full-clear though.
CSI isn't terrible, but I'd recommend a walkthrough so you don't spend more time than you have to. Protip: you can skip the little talky cutscenes. I didn't figure this out until 2/3 through the game.
Prince Caspian is fun for what it is--think LEGO Chronicles of Narnia with a slightly larger focus on combat (with centaurs, minotaurs, and giants, oh my). The first 750G or so is fine. The last couple hundred have you going back and grabbing every little thing which is obnoxious.
Fuzion Frenzy 2 has 1 set of mini-games/planet that can be fun (the gravity/technology one) and like 5-6 others that are just annoying. Get someone from XbA to help you with the online ones.
NBA Live 06 is easy for the most part. Just a lot of simming (not as much as Madden 06). I believe the online servers are shut down, though, so you can't 1000G it.
I hope you are enjoying Beowulf--it ended up not only being one of the most enjoyable waffle titles I ever played, but one of my favourite 360 games overall. I recommend going full Carnal when you play it on Hard and full Heroic when playing on Normal. Only requires a 2/3 playthrough the second time for 1000/1000 (the last 'cheeb should pop just before you fight Hel the second time). You may want to read a walkthrough to find the Legendary Weapons as 2 of them are nonsensical to get to.
If you haven't already played it, grab Viking ASAP. Not only is it a fun game, but you can start on Hard and get a guide to find the skulls and get all 1000G on your first 8-12 hour playthrough.

Thanks for the very helpful post Rev I finished up Fusion Frenzy and will be starting Narnia now. (already returned Fusion Frenzy for the full value and picked up Kane & Lynch.)

That is pretty awesome; gf gave me some money to get my own Birthday gift, so I'll definitely be checking Gamestop out this weekend. I have Fuzion Frenzy if you need a hand, too. And I agree with you about Jericho Rev; been playing it since Christmas night and enjoying myself.
