"Peering into the next 12 months we can name at least ten games (and erm, we have) you'll be tussling in the shopping aisles to get for your Xbox next year. And knowing Microsoft there's undoubtedly dozen more under wraps. But let's go with what we know, shall we?"
I am especially looking forward to Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars, and Splinter Cell Conviction. I would have added Lost Odyssey to the list as I am a big RPG fan. Fallout 3 is definately a must purchase IMO.
I hope that Rare has a Perfect Dark sequel as well as Killer Instinct 3 in the works. I am sure they have been working on more than just Banjo. Resident Evil 5 is going to be a hit for sure. I beat part 4 on the Gamecube and it was by far the best in the series.
I know that there is some hate floating around this website about how the 360 has no games for '08, but I am pretty confident that Microsoft has a lot of games that have been kept under wraps.
The comment about no games for 360 next year made up, just like ps3 had no games in 2007. A lot is going to be announced just @ the start of the year. I read a comment by a ms executive that they where focusing on the 2007 line up, which was a blast btw, but there keeping the 2008 line up for 2008. Time will tell btw.
360 definetly has games in 2008 however i jst feel ps3 lineup is stronger. For almost every xbox exclusive there is a similar ps3 exclusive that is better. The 360 games i do wanna play however are ninja gaiden and banjo. Not too sure if banjo will be that good but after playing ratchet and clank future kinda got me craving some more ol school platforming so i do hope its at least as good as banjo 1 was. Ninja gaiden 2 will be solid for sure as for too human not really interested. Not a big fan of halo and was never a fan of real time strategy so nuthin for halo wars. I didnt enjoy assasins so i doubt i will enjoy splinter but who knows. It is however different enough from the previous series to warrant a peek at the game and never played fable 1 so dnt really knw much about it
if bots think they list is IMPRESSIVE look at the ps3 line up for 08...
In 2008, Fallout 3 will slaugher everything.
Pretty good list and games. Aside from Fallout 3, I'm also seriously anticipating Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2 and to a lesser extent Too Human. If indeed Banjo Kazooie is coming in 2008 then it will also be added to my list.
Hopefully they announce Killer Instinct 3 for 360 as well.
