Upcoming X360 games

[Zerai]

IGN: Too Human - August 6, 2007 (due in Europe June 8, wtf! bastards!)

[RiskyChris]

Pretty much everything on that list is purchase-worthy. I suggest Crackdown, though if you're close to GTAIV's release, it might be overshadowed in gameplay. We'll see.

There's no way Too Human is releasing that early, is it?

[Zerai]

That's what IGN says. No idea.

Ebgames says August 6th as well. I think that IGN is just on crack. Seems highly unlikely a Canadian company would release a game in europe first..by a month.

IGN: Tenchu Z - June 12, 2007

Sounds like a game based on Thief, which was an awesome game, so, not sure. I tried the demo using a Japanese xbox live account but..the entire game was in japanese, so I had no idea what was happening =p But it seemed neat.

Apparently I just missed the big crate of ammo. I left the building after the first wave and just went to the right. Trust me, my aiming is fine =/.

Crackdown is a rental; I regret buying it. Solid framework for a game though, if they fill it out with real DLC but I doubt it.

Lost Planet is the same way.

Dead Rising I keep going back to; I have a hundred plus hours on it now.

Viva Pinata demo finally came out, looks amusing but didn't spend more than 15 minutes on it. All my pals seem to love it, so it definitely has something going for it.

Ultimate Alliance is a rental, doesn't take long to finish. I hammered through it on PC. Unless you're a completionist freak, and need to max out every costume of every hero and so on.

Please tell me you've just missed the fact that DLC has been released? It's pretty good content -- I love the new races they've added.

I dunno if this really counts, but Geometry Wars (XBLA) is pretty much a must-have game with any 360. There's also a crapload of nostalgic games on XBLA that I won't go into, but you really should own Geometry Wars.

Guitar Hero 2 I didn't see mentioned. I have it for PS2 so passed on the 360 version.

Dicked around with the new DLC. The racing is ok, but I'm hoping for more gangs, better gang fights, more bosses that require more than locking on and holding down the fire button et cetera.

In general, I wanted it to be more GTA than it is; more missions, more interaction. The ending of the game alludes to the fact that the Agency is little more than a gang itself. I'd like to see a tear down the corrupt agency style DLC addon where you go up against other super powered agents with the same weapons and vehicles that the player has access to.

The one thing holding Crackdown back from near perfection: genuine missions.

I was doing time trial on the psychotic bosses the other day, and most of the bosses I was able to kill in under a minute (I think I did one in like 5 seconds), and most of the rest just a few minutes. These were all on my first try beating them since February.

[Thorpe]

Two more I'm looking forward too;

IGN: Call of Juarez - June 5, 2007

IGN: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare - TBA 2007

[Mario Speedwagon]

My wallet is whimpering looking at this list of games.

Or a game based on Tenchu? A serie that started in early 1998 on PlayStation while Thief got released late 1998?

Gonna add some more that haven't been mentioned in this thread, but were on ign.

IGN: Forza Motorsport 2 - May 29, 2007

IGN: TimeShift - September 18, 2007
This game looked really shitty when it was first unveiled, but, the developers have overhauled it with an additional year given to them by the publishers. The game is looking damn good with some of the best rain effects in a game yet

IGN: Virtua Fighter 5 - July 17, 2007

IGN: John Woo Presents Stranglehold - August 6, 2007

IGN: Haze - September 28, 2007
Made by Free Radical -- the guys who made Goldeneye/Timesplitters. This game needs more publicity.

IGN: Burnout Paradise - Late 2007

IGN: Half-Life 2: Orange Box - Late 2007
Yes, the PC version will be the definitive version. Playing it on a console is better than not playing it at all though.

IGN: Project Gotham Racing 4 - Late 2007

I hope my 360 doesn't decide to red light any time soon.

Ah, perhaps. The 360 is the first console I've owned since the original NES, I'm not a console gamer. So I only relate to my experiences =x Regardless, both released in the same year, so, they had to have concurrent design, so really, both are original.

Anyway.

Has the Tenchu series been good? As I mentioned, the demo was pretty neat. And it's said to have coop. Which is awesome.
