This post is going to highlight all 360 retail releases coming out in 2008. It will only include titles that will not be released also on the PS3 and/or Wii, which includes any titles that can be played on those two consoles through backwards compatibility, i.e. Samurai Warriors 2 and Bully. Any games that share retail space with a PC version be will be noted on the game under what other platform it is on.
I will not include Xbox Live Arcade games here. If I feel up to it, I will create a second topic for them.
As games are released I will give them their metacritic scores so people can come here for recommendations. This is a work in progress and will start off small. I will work on it in the coming weeks.
You will notice that games are in three colors. Green games are games you can expect to be released, based on history and/or recent media. Yellow games are games that are a bit iffy, because they have not recieved any media in 9-12 months. Red games are not likely to come out either because of localization or because there has been 18 months of silence from developers. Enjoy!

Note*This is the third game in the Age of Pirates series. It hasn't been heard from since 2005 so there are good odds it was silently cancelled.

Note*This game is in active development. The only problem is, the publisher looks to be in some financial trouble and is enlisting Flashman Studios to manage intellectual properties and Reverb Communications to handle marketing and public relations resposibilities since November. This could cause development to cease eventually, but hopefully not.

Developer: Reverie Entertainment
Publisher: TBA
360/PC
Over a thousand years ago, in a world much, much different than ours- a world where creatures that only our imagination create roamed the wild and the tamed lands. A place where Man lived, and Elf, Dwarf and Orc. A place where magic flows in the air, where hidden and forgotten civilizations return to life and where Dragons roam the skys. It is a place that like everyother, has those who live in it who seek peace, and those who seek to make war. Those who seek to make allies of their neighbors and those who seek to conquer and smash. The choices that effect an entire world lye in your hands. The power to create, conquer, establish and rule a powerful city. The power to take a fledgling nation and through truth and justice or treachery and power- conquer the world. The decisions that will make a world or break it, are in your hands. Note*These pics were uploaded to the net around January of 2007 and this game was aiming for a Q1 2007 release when they were put on the net. This could be a completed game for all I know but I can't find reviews anywhere. As you'll notice, there is no publisher for this game and that could be the holdup.
