From the PlanetXbox360.com feature top 5 list:
"At E3 2012, Microsoft played it safe. They didn’t reveal their next-generation console plans. They, rightfully so, didn’t show off any of their long-off titles with many months left in the cooker. Instead, they showcased titles that will be releasing in the next 12 months that have a large fanbase behind them. Sure, many of the games revealed are sequels of the same onslaught of series Microsoft has pushed throughout the Xbox 360’s life cycle, but that doesn’t hold them back from being well-established and quality games. The Xbox 360 has a strong line-up for the rest of 2012 and these five games are just some of the great titles to be had over the coming months."
It seems like the list includes non 2012 titles unconfirmed date titles to fill the list.
And if the date of the game is not confirmed by now, its not coming out this year... Either way, the list of actual exclusives thats coming out on 2012 seems fairly weak.
With Fez, Trials Evolution, The Witcher 2 or Alan Wake American Nightmare the Xbox 360 already some very good exclusives this year.
You can easily argue that the 360 line-up is easily the strongest for Fall/holiday 2012..but the same can be said for the entire year.
Either way, we don't need the Gears sequel prelude this year as Gears 3 is still warm.
As for the rest..Halo 4 is by far the biggest exclusive of 2012..period. In fact, it's the only exclusive that will have thousands upon thousands of rabid fan at he midnight launch this year.
I have been hyping Dead Light long before this site put it on this list. That game looks amazing. I can't absolutely wait.
But, MS has been dropping gems all year on XBLA from Alan Wake, Minecraft (console exclusive), and Trials evolution to Dust, Joe Danger: The Movie and of course Deadlight. Summer of Arcade FTW (Tony Hawk baby)
Forza Horizon's development team is not only great on paper but when the game looked gorgeous off-stage at E3. In my must buy column.
Who cares about the Kinect haters..Lionhead's Fable: the Journey and Dance Central 3 are guaranteed buys for me..DC3 will be bought a few times for Xmas gifts.
Literally this fall and holiday there are literally too many games to buy..but I know that these games are among the ones that will be in my collection and that's all that matter.
Can't wait for the multis though..from Borderlands 2 to Dishonored..it's another great year to be a gamer.

for deadlight, it looks amazing.
But, com'on!
Gears:Judgement is slated for 2013.
Deadlight is a XBLA game.
Not a very impressive top 5 exclusive list.
Post E3 2012 list. Don't provide a list unless it matches the time period for 2012 only. Doesn't matter if you hate these games and think gamers don't want them. The 360/MS isn't in last place or being forced to release a new console.

@greenpowerz
who said anything about PS3 take the shutters off and pay attention. We know it makes you feel better to bash other systems, but you just come off as being a complete troll.

Do you understand? Selective Intelligence Perhaps?
On topic Deadlight does look really good I will pick that up for sure.
Gotta love how you went through the trouble of finding every last 360 exclusive you could, but didn't put the slightest effort into producing a list for PS3 and for some reason decided to compare it to a system that won't be out for any more than two months or so of 2012.
What's even funnier is that you claim it's a list of post-E3 releases, yet just off the top of my head, I know that at least two of those games (Trials and Fable Heroes) were released before E3, so you didn't even get your own list right.
You're really sticking it to those "fanatical Sony fans" by comparing your inaccurate 360 list to your half-assed PS3 and WiiU lists.
-----
That's exactly what PS3 fans do in almost EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE talking about 360 exclusives. They create a list of every PS3 exclusive imaginable, from the big titles to the most obscure Japanese titles, and then compare it to a 360 list composed of "Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable". The only difference? For their blind fanboyism, they get dozens of Agrees and hardly any Disagrees.
So? I'm responding to one guy. Everyone else's lists are irrelevant. Why do you feel the need to point out this is "exactly what PS3 fans do in almost EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE"? Does that make this list any less stupid? I don't need to make generalizations about everybody else to try to make a point. Sounds like you just want find an opportunity to throw PS3 fans under the bus. Why don't you go into one of those articles and point out the flaws in their lists, rather than respond to my criticisms of this guy's list, when you know I'm right, and trying to use it as an opportunity to bring up an irrelevant overly-generalized complaint about PS3 fans?
And I see only one list in this thread. And it's not coming from a PS3 fan.
I love my 360 but the only game that interests me on that list is Halo 4 and maybe Forza a little bit.. Oh well back to max Payne 3
My top 5 for the rest of the year would be Dust: An Elysian Tale, Halo 4, Deadlight, Forza Horizon, and Hybrid.
2013: rinse, lather, and repeat.
That doesn't mean they won't be quality games, but you would hope that Microsoft could offer something a little more imaginative. Sony seems to take far more risks in this regard.
And while Sony has gone back to the well a few times, we also got Warhawk, Starhawk, MGS 4, Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword, GT 5, and so on.
I think overall Sony has taken a few more risks than Microsoft. That's all I am saying.
EDIT: Sorry the teaser video for Dark isn't popping up for some reason. Google N4g "Dark" teaser trailer if interested.
EDIT: Yeah the title says "Top 5 Xbox 360 Exclusives Of 2012" but when you begin to read the article he said (not quoted) games coming out in the next 12 months? which is next year as well?
