X360A: Gray Matter is a game that is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish bar a few niggles, but well worth the time of anyone with even the slightest interest in the genre. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a step in the right direction and a few more of these point-and-click adventure titles would be more than welcome on the Xbox 360.
