Some cool 360 games definately worth getting this year: Forza 2 (5/29) - The best sim racing game ever for Xbox comes to 360. 1st day buy for me. Mass Effect (6/12) - The uber-RPG. Part 3rd person shooter, part RPG, fully awesome. Looks to be the spiritual succuessor of KOTOR. The graphics are just ungodly, and the gameplay looks ultra-solid. Two Worlds (6/14) - Oblivion, but longer (150hrs), bigger (3x the size of Cyrodill in Oblivion) and a 8 player multiplayer option. It's a german 360/PC game. Trusty Bell (6/??) - The ultimate Cell-Shaded RPG. Definately not your standard fare, since it deals with Chopin in a dreamworld. Definately a great RPG. Culdicept Saga (7/??) - A card based isometric RPG for the 360. Odd little game, but has recieved alot of attention. Bioshock (7/14?) - The self-proclaimed shooter 2.0. Looks to be alot more moody and scary than typical FPS games. It reminds me of Condemned, Xbox 360's best FPS. All-Pro Football (7/??) - The best name in football by 2k Sports is back. Looks like it could be an undercover succuess. With Madden not improving, it could take the steam from it. EA Sports Madden Tripe (July for NCAA/August for Madden) - Obviously the brand name in American football. Good game, will garner great sales. I'm looking forward to NCAA 2008 more. Wanna see where they rank my Buckeyes at. Blue Dragon (8/29) - The uber-JRPG for the 360. $25m to make and on 3 disks. From what I've seen and heard, it's worth the wait. Gonna be a first day buy for me. Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (8/Late) - KuF was part strategy game, part ultra-tactical RTS, part RPG set to a korean heavy metal soundtrack. An oddball game, but one of the best $40 gems ever in the history of gaming. Halo 3 (9/??) - Not my cup o tea, but obviously the best multiplayer FPS on any console ever, atleast by most people's standards. GTAIV (10/21) - Saints Row and Crackdown were fantastic sandbox games. GTAIV will make em look like crap (hopefully, in a good way). Army of Two (11/1) - A 2 player TPS that looks like it's made of sweetness. Obviously a fantastic game, even if it IS EA. Kind of like Mercenaries. Banjo Threeie (12/??) - Rare is back with one of their centerpiece titles. Should be a good game, even though Im not really into platformers anymore. Lost Odyssey (12/??) - Blue Dragon was the appetizer for Sakaguchis real return to the serious RPG world. Very anticipated by many people, and should be a friggin' blast. Not mentioned: Ace Combat 5, Alan Wake (set for 08), DMC4, RE5, CoD: MW, and a few other games that have unknown or really late premier dates.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
