I like games like Halo, but i am not too bothered really, as long as they are good fun.
Dont want football ones that are tricky to master, as i always end up getting some little rascal taking the pee out of me online, like i do in Halo now. :(
You will always find that there are annoying kids on Halo,my 11 year old son plays it and I make him behave responsibly so as not to annoy the adults,most parents just leave their kids to get on with it without a thought for other gamers. Gears of War 2,Call of Duty 4 and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 are all supposed to be really good in the shooter genre. The driving ones I rate are Forza 2,Test Drive Unlimited and PGR 4.
