It doesn't matter if you're still an Xbox Live Gold subscriber.
All of these are great games, but we're partial to Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor - Martyr. It's just a fantastic Diablo-like game you'll love. It's challenging and there are tons of missions. V-Rally 4 offers a great simulation experience. Sensible World of Soccer is also surprisingly addictive. Lastly, Overlord II is the cult classic everyone loved on Xbox 360.
