Yep refer to that list in Barozi`s thread. DeathSmiles (Xbox 360-exclusive shmup that was released last year in Japan but is now being localized) and Deadly Premonition (which Seihyouken listed) are missing there though.

While the console exclusive list seems huge (and appetizing), it does look like the Xbox 360 exclusive list is uncharacteristically short this year. I`m planning on playing Alan Wake, Fable III, Crackdown 2 (absolutely), Ninety-Nine Nights II (Feel+ is involved and it`s hack n slash. Sounds like it might be good) and DeathSmiles. Deadly Premonition might be worth a look as well. I admit that I`m not that much of a Halo fan so I might skip Reach.

Odd thing, I noticed that all the third-party 360 exclusives listed for 2010 (to my knowledge) are Japanese. lol Freakin`bizarro world. But it makes sense. Ninety-Nine Nights II and Deadly Premonition receive attention primarily because they are Japanese Xbox 360 exclusives (if you want attention, do something different and carve your own niche. Why do you think No More Heroes and Madworld got so much attention? Because these are some of the most violent games this gen and yet they are on a so-called `kiddie console`. Both games achieved success. Bayonetta bombed in sales and probably lost Sega lots of money whereas Madworld probably made a profit. And there is no chance in hell Suda51 would have had more success on Ps360). If they were multi-plats or PS3 exclusives, I think these games wouldn`t get recognized. And Cave likes the 360 because it has a hardcore shmup following and it`s cost efficient to develop for (cheap quick and dirty porting from arcade).
