One Retailer's Preliminary List of Xbox 360 Launch Titles

[zmweasel]

A friend o' mine at a local game retailer gave me a list of all the X360 games currently listed in the chain's computer (but not in the X360 category--the chain sneakily categorized them under a "dead" system).

Burnout Revenge (Nov.)
Condemned (Nov.)
Dead or Alive 4 (Nov.)
Frame City Killer (Nov. 15)
Full Auto (Nov.)
Ghost Recon 3 (Nov.)
Godfather, The (Nov.)
Gun (Nov.)
Kameo: Elements of Power (Oct. 3)
Madden NFL 2006 (Nov.)
NBA Live 2006 (Nov.)
Need for Speed: Most Wanted (Nov.)
Perfect Dark Zero (Nov.)
Project Gotham Racing (Nov.)
Quake 4 (Nov.)
Test Drive Unlimited (Nov.)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 (Nov.)
Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (Nov.)
True Crime 2 (Nov.)
Ultimate Spider-Man (Nov.)

A pretty damn tasty list, if'n you ask me.

[ClubNinja]

Yeah, I'd play one of those games. Tasty indeed.

[SoulBlazer]

Speak for yourself. I see four on there I'd DEFENTILY be interested in, and maybe another four or five more I want to know more about.

Of course, I'm still not buying a system at launch. I see no reason to change my policy of waiting at least six months before buying a new system.

[zmweasel]

Which one?

-- Z.

[classicb]

I detect sarcasm. While I plan on going for the 360 I see at most 3 games that would intrest me.

[Ed Oscuro]

Burnout Revenge is the sequel to the first-person beater?

[PDorr3]

I sure hope that oblivion is a launch title, thats what I am buying the system for!
But if that truly is the launch lineup the only games that I would buy would be quake 4 and perfect dark.

[ubersaurus]

I'd probably just get Perfect Dark Zero. Unless Ultimate Spiderman is good, in which case, that too.

I've been waiting for PD0 for so goddamn long, it's almost a shame I probably won't get a 360 til Halo 3 comes out in the Spring.

[Kid Ice]

Isn't 3/4 of that stuff coming out for PS2/XBox?

Since it's a preliminary list it's nothing to worry about, but I'm not impressed.

I am not impressed as well, I am not even hyped about PD0, but it would probably be the only game I buy at launch.

I am upset that elderscrolls 4 oblivion was not on there, wasnt it supposed to be a launch?

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Burnout Revenge is the sequel to the first-person beater?

I think you're thinking of Namco's "Breakdown"
Burnout is the car crashing/racing game by EA.

[Flack]

Where's the "OMGWTF" responses the other consoles got when their launch lists consisted of a huge number of sequals?

Ah, thank you :)

The majority of those launch titles will indeed also ship for PS2 and Xbox, but of course MS is counting on folks to shun those inferior versions (and I'll be one of the shunners).

-- Z.

[kainemaxwell]

Oh look, a Madden title also. x_x

[CitizenSnowman]

Quake 4

[Kroogah]

Oh look, a Madden title also. x_x

and?

Now I want one of these for Burnout, DoA, Tony Hawk, and Tiger. Thanks a lot, Zach, you have made my wallet's Enemies List.

PS2, but not PS3? What's in Microsoft's goodie bags these days?

I'm sure that many of these titles will be PS3 launch fodder, as well. Certainly the EA stuff.

Games I'm sure to pick up:

Burnout Revenge - This series ROCKS and I know this will not disappoint. Probably one of my favorite games of all time! One of my must have titles at launch.

Condemned - interesting and very fast but I doubt I'd spend $50 for it new. It's a wait until it's $25 used game to me.

Ghost Recon 3 - awesome looking! I love the 2nd one and this one looks so much better and is going to rock!

NFS:Most Wanted - I'm unsure about this as they have added the cops to chase you and even though it's kind of cool they are going back to what it was all about I've grown used to the NFSU series and like that. Hope it turns out well... this is a rent before you buy title.... I'm sure.

Perfect Dark Zero - another one of those games I will probably have to get at launch because of the multiplayer aspect of it!

True Crime 2 - Have high hopes for this one but I'll have to wait and see. Could very well be a launch purchase.

but without any hesitation I will be getting both Recon 3 and Burnout...
