This edition of Dragon Age: Origins. It includes all the DLC for less than the game alone, and you will be playing it for a very very long time.

Anything by BioWare. If he doesn't have the original Dragon Age, this is at the top of the list. You can pick up Dragon Age and all its downloadable content brand new for $30.

Well with the three series that you mentioned you have plenty of great gameplay ahead of you.

Deus Ex is a really good RPG, the cyberpunk setting is great but the entire game world is believable up to a certain degree.

I love the Assassin's Creed games and would heartily recommend them. I would advise starting with the first game, a lot of people recommend starting with AC2 but I wouldn't, simply because the start of AC2 as well as parts of the newest game AC:Revelations won't make sense. Also the first game is very good. It has it's flaws and it isn't as polished as the newer games but that is to be expected. A lot of people tend to forget that.

I've only played the first Mass Effect game (the second one is with my other games waiting to be played) and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought the Classics edition that had the Bring Down The Sky DLC included with it for around €15 and my first playthrough lasted roughly 50 hours, great value for my money. The combat wasn't too bad but what I really enjoyed was the exploration and the story. And I think I only had three characters in the game that I didn't like that weren't the antagonists, something unusual for me when I play an RPG of that size.

Here is a list of some other games that you might like:

• Batman Arkham Asylum & Arkham City: Arkham Asylum was the best superhero game released in a long time. The story was good, the characters were varied and very well presented and the gameplay was a lot of fun. You have many of Batman's gadgets at your disposal and the combat was great. Didn't matter if you were hitting them head-on or descending on them from the shadows, you felt like Batman. Arkham City improved on this, something that I didn't think could be done. I can't really say more without having to talk about specific moments and that would just ruin the game for you so I'll leave it to you to find out!
  
  
• Bioshock 1&2: These are definitely worth playing. The story is great, the setting is really well designed and the enemies are challenging (at least at the start). I can't say more without spoiling it.
  
  
• Borderlands: Very good FPSRPG. The four characters are varied enough that they feel different when you play them, the cel-shaded graphical style works very well with the setting and the sense of humour is very good. The game is great when playing single player but you can have friends play with you in online co-op that is drop in-drop out. That means you aren't interrupted as your friend joins you or leaves you. If you do get it buy the Game Of The Year edition, it has all four DLC packs included and they are worth having.
  
  
• Crackdown 1&2: Fun sandbox style games that have you playing as a super agent sent to shut down gang activity in a fictional city. You start off weak but can level your stats up by either using abilities associated with that stat (e.g. level strength by punching gang members to death) or collecting orbs/completing races. When you max out your stats it really becomes fun as you can pick up cars, jump extremely high and run very fast. There isn't much of a story but in a game like this a story would just get in the way of the fun.
  
  
• Dead Space 2: I haven't played the first game but I have played some of the second and while I haven't cleared it yet I am having a lot of fun. Fun meaning half the time I'm too nervous to open a door in case something jumps at me. I should mention that I play in the dark, use a gaming headset and am a big girls blouse (read: this scares me easily).
  
  
• Dragon Age Origins: One of my favourite RPGs in a long time. Story is fun, characters are good and the combat isn't half bad at all. Really really enjoyed this game. If you do decide to get it try for the Ultimate Edition, it only costs $20 on amazon and that includes the game and ALL the DLC, including the expansion. Definitely worth it.
  
  
• Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas: Good RPG games. All first person with some decent combat mechanics. The main story isn't great in both of them (I thought NV was a bit better) but you'll be doing a lot of side quests so chances are that kind of thing won't bother you too much. The enemies can be very tough too so there certainly is a challenge in there, particularly in the earlier levels. Some people prefer Fallout 3, some prefer New Vegas, either way they are both worth your time.
  
  
• F.E.A.R 3: Fun shooter that isn't very scary, it relies on jump moments more than anything else. Nonetheless it is worth getting and is even more fun in co-op.
  
  
• Gears Of War 1&2&3: Enjoyable third person shooters. Me and my brother have played all three in split screen co-op and it was great fun. The first two have a story and while it isn't bad it isn't great but the gameplay is fun. The story improves dramatically with the third game as they brought in an author named Karen Traviss to write the story and it is very good. It brings an appropriate end to the series and I was satisfied with it, often the end of a series (be it book, game or TV) will leave me disappointed in some way but this one didn't.
  
  
• Grand Theft Auto IV: Brought to you by the same guys that made RDR, this game is a lot of fun. Some people didn't like it and I can see where they are coming from, the series made a fairly big switch from San Andreas to this but I thoroughly enjoyed it and both the DLC packs that were released. It's a big game and has a lot to do. It also has Bas Rutten in it, how can you go wrong? You can get the complete edition with both DLC packs for $27.99 on amazon(http://www.amazon.com/Grand-Theft-Episodes-Liberty-Xbox-360/dp/B0045EI7I4/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1331155023&sr=1-1).
  
  
• Just Cause 2: A big tropical island sandbox game that is heaps of fun. You can blow up military bases, chain cars to planes and use a combination of grappling hook and parachute to get to any part of the game world. The story is terrible but the gameplay makes up for it.
  
  
• L.A. Noire: Set in 1940's L.A. it is a story about the rise of an LAPD officer and the corruption that was rampant in the police force in the 1940's. Most of the gameplay involves driving around the city, searching for clues and interviewing suspects. It is fairly cerebral and a lot of people found that repetitive, I enjoyed it though. The story is good and the characters are distinct, you will probably recognise some of the actors used for it too. The developers used motion capture to capture the smallest facial movements and that means you have to use those cues when interrogating suspects. It also means that the characters actually look like the actors portraying them to the point where you will know them on sight. People like John Noble or Aaron Staton.
  
  
• Need For Speed Hot Pursuit: It's like they merged the old burnout games with the old Hot Pursuit game and it is very good. The driving has a loose arcade feel and the game looks great. If you like arcade racers this is ideal.
  
  
• Need For Speed Shift 2: This is a bit more serious than Hot Pursuit. It isn't an arcade racer by any means but it isn't as "serious" as other games like Gran Turismo. You can upgrade cars, tweak them to work better on specific courses and just tinker with them to get the right "feel" when you drive them. I enjoyed the customising just as much as the actual racing and there is a fair amount of content in the game too.
  
  
• Ninja Gaiden 2: This game is hard, not quite as unforgiving as the first game but still very hard. The combat is fluid but if you miss an attack or dodge too late you can be severely punished for it. There are a lot of weapons to unlock and your Ninpo (magic attacks) can be devastating when used correctly. If you want a challenging but fun game this is the way to go.
  
  
• Prince Of Persia The Forgotten Sands: This is like a continuation of the Sands Of Time series that ran on previous generation consoles. It isn't quite as good as the older games for me, mainly because they were hard games to top and even with the advances that games have made over the last couple of years this title just didn't improve on the previous games. That doesn't mean that it is a bad game, it isn't, but it just wasn't as good as it could have been.
  
  
• Saints Row 1&2&3: A series of gang games that just got more over the top with each iteration. The gameplay is a lot of fun, the city is nice to drive around and the characters are fairly good. The story isn't half bad either for the first two games. In the third one the story just gets a bit out of hand but it isn't anything bad. Play them in order and you will love it. One last thing, Johnny Gat is the biggest badass in gaming history.
  
  
• Sonic Generations: If you liked the old Sonic games you'll love this. The 2D levels are a real return to the old sega games and the 3D sections are much better than in some of the newer titles. The music is also absolutely amazing.
  
  
• Splinter Cell Conviction: A good stealth game with some interesting mechanics. It isn't as technical as other games in the series but it has it's own style that works well. Good story too and it is a vast improvement over Double Agent.
  
  
• SSX: This game was released last week and is brilliant. The courses are massive and varied, the characters are very funny and the tricks are really over the top. Also it has wingsuits which are amazing. Without the online aspect it probably won't be as much fun but it's still a good game.
  
  
• The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion & Skyrim: Great RPGs with massive worlds to explore. I would recommend them to anyone that wants to lose a couple of hundred hours in a fantasy world. Not being able to patch yet might be a small issue but it shouldn't be gamebreaking.
  
  I left out some games because they are XBLA games or most of their content is online specific. Hope this helps!

There's a Lispeth giving a detailed guide on how to use the Ultimate Edition of DAO on XB1 here.

That version of the game does not appear to be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, but you should be able to find it from a retailer. It's available from the American Amazon here for instance.
