Microsoft today announced that X06, the Xbox brand experience for the games and entertainment industry, will be held on September 27th and 28th this year. It was also revealed that the glamorous, cosmopolitan and cultural city of Barcelona will be playing host to this year’s exclusive event.
Europe’s top media, partners, publishers, developers and retailers will be invited to the Catalan capital to experience the incredible evolution of the Xbox 360 console and the exciting offerings it is bringing to Europe.

There are good video game protagonists, and there are bad video game protagonists.
I disagree that max is unlikable. Chloe is infinitely more unlikable in my opinion.
Abby was absolute trash protagonist in every way..
Tidus was so meh to me..
On villain side, the one i didn’t like wa Micah, because they wanted him to be that way and it was brilliant👍🏽
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
Squall is one of the best developed main FF characters so...
People talk about his "whatever" thing thats at the start of the game, not the character he eventually becomes in the end.
i had to stop reading after the "blatant misogyny" in the Dantes inferno section.
i actually liked Max haha.
the forspoken chick is missing tho
can't wait this and tgs. hope they annouce new title and xmas line up
Bring it on!!
:D
Maybe we will find out more info on Halo 3 at X06!
Thats when we will find out more about the hd dvd add on...the vision camera....live anywhere....more exclusive games....3rd party surprise announcements....and more. It will be exciting to say the least. Microsoft has implemented the perfect game plan this time around. Bring it on I say....
Cant wait for tgs and x06. 2006 is good year to own a 360.
