Gears of War. If you have Xbox Live, it could seriously ruin your life.

...Returned bioshock and picked up armored core 4 and an xbox (bc) copy of Robotech Battlecry. (the graphics look like southpark-like cut-outs from the anime, but it has serious nostalgia value.)

Not sure which of these are under $35, but some of them definitely should be.

FPS, Live+Splitscreen multiplayer, in order of fun

Gears of War
Army of Two
Halo 3
Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter
DOOM (yes, that Doom) or Duke Nukem 3D ($10 Live Arcade)

Other Live+local multiplayer

Castle Crashers ($15 Live Arcade)
Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Batman

If you like co-op multiplayer, Crackdown was pretty fun. Superhuman open-world shooter.

Mercenaries 2 is fun, too, though it's the most unpolished big-name title I've seen recently. It's recent, so probably still expensive.

If you want to go totally cheap and old-school, there's Call of Duty 2.

Also, for anyone interested, here are some upcoming expensive games that match some of the criteria:

Far Cry 2 (most ambitious game ever; online multiplayer shooter, full-featured map editor, plus ridiculous open-world single-player campaign)
Saints Row 2 (open-world, shooting, driving; online co-op)
Left 4 Dead (zombie shooter; online and split-screen co-op)
Fable 2 (fantasy action-rpg; split-screen co-op, with online to come later, I believe)

Oh, and for fighting games, there's Soul Calibur, the original, on XBLA.

You can pick up Ninja Gaiden II for $30 now at Wally World. It is a really fun game, but probably the most challenging game I’ve ever played.

Also, Call of Duty II is fun and cheap.

You just have to say "video games" and I'll arrive. I'm like Beetlejuice [Smile]

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is awesome. You can find it used for $25. It has both Live and Split-screen, but not simultaneously.
