Scorching Summer For 360 Owners

[DC RID3R]

The summer months aren't usually strong for game releases. For Xbox 360 owners however, this year will be like no other. Normally in summer, all we usually see is another edition of NCAA and Madden Football.

Starting in May, a number of anticipated games will be hitting shelves.

Spiderman 3 - 5/4
*Command and Conquer 3 - 5/8
*Forza 2 - 5/15
*Shadowrun - 5/29
*Mass Effect - 6/19
The Darkness - 6/25
*Two Worlds - 6/25
Stranglehold - 8/1
*Blue Dragon - 8/1
*Too Human (Part 1) - 8/6
*BioShock - 8/21
*Xbox 360 Exclusive (may also be on PC)

[Hawkk]

Agree with most of the list but.. Spiderman 3?!? LOL, this will be crap.

[satel]

crap games only game worth the wait is the Grand theft auto game.

[nuke868]

bioshock is good too but played with a pad considering ll be released on pc well.... damn even Forza 2 wont be an exclusive title wonder where they pretend to go with that.......

[thebobevil]

Two Worlds will definitely not be out this year.

[John Crichton]

Yeah, these are some really great games!

What's a ROTLF? Rolling on the laughing floor?

and?

last I checked the PC wasn't a console...

[Rinny]

problem is that having a console game that is also on PC means the game quality will be crap and the game wont sell. I mean Halo 1/2 didnt sell 5,00 copies on the xbox did they? And Oblivion was one of the worst-reviewed and purchased games of all time despite its metarating of above 90% and its sales of 2million copies.

Anyway Spiderman 3 might not blow anyones socks off but its going to be like Spiderman 2 with better graphics and a slightly improved combat and swinging system. Not going to win game of the year but it will be 20+ hours of fun.

Bioshock is going to blow a lot of people away. FPRPG. First person shooter with deep roleplaying elements. A lot like Deus Ex with a more streamlined gameplay system and GORGEOUS graphics.

Yeah, but a lot of people will prefer those titles on PC.. I'm thinking Bioshock in particular.. Also Shadowrun and actually.. C&C3 in particular... RTS games have always been a mouse's best friend.

Also:

NEWS EDITOR: "like no other" is a Sony marketing slogan.. not the best choice of words to end a blurb for a pro-Xbox360 article.

[starwave]

F*CK that, the only game thats getting my money is blue dragon. SOME of the other ones,gamefly baby!!! rent them, finish them, then send that b*tch back;) not that much of an impressive lineup anyhow.:D

[JimmyHACK_KH]

ya, no doubt several listed are just overhype fodder..... it is good to see that summer will bring a few good fun games for all systems, which is far from the normal summer droughts.

[loliix]

Forza2 is the one I am most looking forward.. I want to see how it has evolved against Gran Turismo.

Blue Dragon is also one of the games I want to try out, just to see how it stacks against RPGs like "Dragon Quest VIII".

Command & Conquer 3 is a great game, but plays best with a mouse..
And then comes a great shooter line up.. to join so many other shooters on XBOX.

Yet we have to admit it is by far the best summer line up this year..
Neither Nintendo or Sony have anything close to counter this (unfortunately). Hopefully competition will be stronger this fall..

[KainXS]

i'd Say 2/3 of these games are crap

[pCeSlAyEr]

i'd Say 2/3 of these games are crap
I'd say over 2/3 of these get above 8.5 in there reviews.

And mostly if u dont have exclusive titles how do u pretend to sell hardware ?

The fact that forza 2 isnt an exlcusive title shocked me coz from the few

titles good coming for the x360 tought at least that was a reason to buy a

x360 now not anymore(i have premium since launch)

Forza isn't exclusive?

I can't find it for any other formats other than 360, just did a search of the likes of amazon and play.com and can only find 360 versions, and just did a search on IGN, 1up and the forza official site and just got the same. Looks exclusive to me, unless you mean PC, but even then i can find nothing for that either.

[aqualyricist]

You forgot APF2K8!

[Xenogears V]

Summer, it is period of vacations for all!.:D

[Scorpion3]

Yep, that proves it. You really are some 13 year old who likes mindless violence.

As for most people rather having them on PC, that's a pretty biased statement. Everyone I know says they'll buy Bioshock on the 360 as well as everything but C&C3. RTSs really so suck on consoles, and they probably always will. That's why I hope Halo Wars goes to Vista. And, I'm pretty damn sure that Forza 2 is an exclusive. lol It's one of the best racers on the 360, so it most likely wouldn't go to any other platform, let alone console.
