Forums - Microsoft Discussion - What REAL exclusives does the 360 have right now?

Just trying to figure out if I'm missing anything majorly important here.

As a gamer, right now, I'm basically Wii/DS/PC and I'm planning on taking on PS3 eventually, I'm curious what good games that I'm REALLY going to be missing out on with that setup. Wii of course has a ton of exclusives that I'm interested in, and PS3 at least has LBP, MGS4 and also gives me access to the stuff that is HD only.

I tried to think of what big exclusives 360 has, but couldn't think of much that was REALLY exclusive. If it's not on PS3, it seems like it's on PC. Halo 3, Bioshock, Gears of War are the only console exclusive games I can think of for the 360, but there seem to be PC versions of them out (I dunno about Halo 3, but there are PC ports of both Halo and Halo 2, which I'd probably want to play first) and as far as FPS go, I just hate Dual Analog, so the PC are actually preferable here. Obviously I have to have missed SOME decent exclusive games, but what are they?

Basically, give me a list that meets the following requirements:

1) 360 game (Downloadable XBLA games count too, as long as they're exclusive) either already out, or scheduled to be released by the end of 2009
2) NOT on PS3 (Timed exclusivity is the same as no exclusivity at all to me)
3) Higher than 80 Rating (either average, or any individual credible game ranking site), higher than 70 WITH a personal recommendation, or hasn't been released yet with a strong personal recommendation.
4) Not sports
5) Not racing
6) If it has, or is confirmed that there will be, a release on PC, then mark it with an '*'
7) If the game is not out yet, mark it with a '~'

I probably am going to refrain from commenting after this, I know there are going to be a number of titles that will immediately spring to mind that I just won't be interested in, (heck, I'm not really that interested in bioshock or gears of War) and I don't want to come across as being a jerk about it, Basically, make the list as long as possible, as long as it meets the 7 guidelines.



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts? Viva Pinata? A bunch of mediocre JRPGs?

Braid is pretty cool.

Check out my game about moles ^

Ninja Gaiden 2. I can't be bothered to check the review scores, but I personally recommend it.

Echoing NJ5, here. I only rented Ninja Gaiden, but it is most fine.

Though to be honest the current PS3 list would be shorter than this, its just that all the console exclusives have to be well, excluded as a purchase of a PS3 has aparantly already been ordained and you have a PC.



Tease.

^ bully is on the Wii too, and if you are to include psn titles the list wouldnt be shorter.



The ones not in Imagination Land.
