I havent experianced Mushrooms yet, but on my first trip, Geometry wars for the Xbox 360 (arcade) is something I already have planned. Its like an old school Astroids game, but with great visuals and vibrant colors. Anyone played it while tripping?

I'm gonna go ahead and welcome you to the Shroomery. 
Looks like a crazy game, but I doubt you'll have the patience or focus to really get into it while tripping. Perhaps letting someone sober play is a good idea, because they'll likely do better and you'll get to see more "fireworks."
However, I wouldn't try to plan to far into your trip. Have a general idea of what you'd like to do, but don't restrict yourself so much that you'll feel like you're not doing everything you had planned.
At any rate, you'll figure it out when your trip comes, and I hope you have a good time!

Yeah, don't plan on playing yourself.
Or, I should say, don't plan on playing/winning/enjoying the game. It would more likely consist of amazement that what you do with your thumb can affect the movement of something on a 2d plane before you. Even more amazing with the wireless 360 controllers I imagine.
My only video game tripping experience was watching a couple guys play sonic 2 for a while. It was kind of funny. The whole idea seemed quite odd, and just how into it they were for grown people. But, it got old within about 3 minutes. I imagine this would too. Computerized trippy effects are nothing compared to seeing what your own brain can make. A good example would be the visuals made by mp3 software. Kind of neat, and you twist them around a bit more, but in the end: boring.

I know I rule.  Anyways, the best thing about it is that not only is it a fun game, but it only cost like $5-6 or 400 microsoft points. Also, I believe you can download the demo for free, it is small enough to fit on a memory card (I dont have a HD) or if you have Project Gotham Racing 3, you can play it on the arcade games in all the garages. The demo is all you really need, because you have to be quite good to beat that. Thanks 3PS for the welcoming.

Yeah, like I said before, i never tripped, so Ill take your word for it. But it would probably be fun to watch for a few minutes like you said.

QFT. For me, the most impressive part of my trip was outside, and I was just coming up and the effects were extremely mild. It began to rain though, so I couldn't spend much time out there. For your first trip, if you get a chance, I would highly recommend the outside. Bring a few friends and make an evening of it!
