Age of Pirates: Captain Blood

"Release date TBA 2008" (Something tells me it isn't comming out in 2008)

The game was originally due to be released in 2006 on the Xbox console, but was later moved to the Xbox 360

Looks like vaporware to me.

(Do i really need to go through your whole list? the first 3 games were wacked how many more?)

I looked at a few more of the titles listed...and it seems awfully suspicious that you are including many games that violate your own rules.

I searched a few games in the beginning of the list, and I discovered that A Kingdom for Keflings, Airburst, Beat n' Groovy, and Cletus Clay are XBLA titles. Hopefully, you will be more thorough next time you decide to list some titles favoring the 360.

 

 Thanks you. Corrected. I appologize, indeed I should have been more careful with this. The source I was using did not distinuish between the two and I don't know most of the XBLA titles. I will fine comb the list later, but if you see additional errors let me know.

Bad example. The date for this title was updated two months ago to 2009. The game is alive.

See VGReleases.com, this is my primary source.

 They do that when a game has no release date and is obviously not making out the year they have. You know how many times FF13 has TBA (insert year here)

and yes i did not notice conan

There are a lot of games with no release date. I regard them as vaporware and don't count them in.

But for those that have a release date in a couple of places, I take it as face value. I really cannot decide which one is false. I am trying to apply objective and consistent rules. This may be a vaporware, but so can some of the other platform titles. I just don't know and I don't want to introduce a subjective criteria.

I fixed V8: Arcade. Thanks.

whoa buddy way of the samurai is getting NA release too and MGO is coming out as a standalone title if im not mistaken, so should be added no?

edit: does banjo-tooie really count? at the time it was published by nintendo, but i believe microsoft owns rare now?  so they pay for them to put it on xbla?

also doing some research will post some in a few hours

 

MGO seemed to have been released in July based on Google. Any pointers to suggest otherwise?

This is my source for "Japan only" for Way of the Samurai.

Can you please provide counter source?
