But where are the big exclusive games for next year?
And with Kinect, does Microsoft now see the 360 as a casual gamers' console?
Will it now focus on the next Xbox?
I believe so.
GT 5 will be the best game of the series. Enough said.
Look, even Resident Evil called time on zombies. No more zombies!
Unless, they're in Red Dead Redemption – I'm actually quite looking forward to this.
Good read. Now really looking forward to Costume Quest.
And about time.
Although I would like to see a Kotick Vs Schafer Celebrity Death Match.
Hats off to Microsoft on this one.
This was the bit I was most looking forward too.
Wow, one back for Forza, and quite a coup for Microsoft.
Was thinking there that the BBC was getting into bed with Sony and I was going to have to complain about paying my license fee...
Thar be money in these here handheld games... so what is Microsoft up to?
Two words: Barry Burton.
Good choice for number one. In fact, there could really be only one number one: CounterStrike.
Thing I love about PlayStation (and Sony for that matter) is that it's never content to just say "that sells, let's make more", it always strives (and encourages over developers) to create new gaming experiences.
So not only do you get the big hitters like Gran Turismo, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear etc. but also games like Ico, LittleBigPlanet and Vib Ribbon.
PlayStation has always respected the art of video games – not just the business.
PlayStation not only made gaming cool, but made games and the games industry a viable business for the 'big boys' of computing. PlayStation showed Microsoft that there was money to be made here.
Therefore without PlayStation, there would be no Xbox.
Still my favourite console ever. How many of today's most popular franchises started out on the first PlayStation? Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, Gran Turismo... It was a new beginning in so many ways.
Wait a minute, let's get the whole industry together to agree a single score for each game.
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DIFFERENT OPINIONS HERE.
Lol.
Love God Of War, so fingers crossed this will be better than Dante's Inferno: a poor facsimile of GOW.
God Of War has always brought a smile to my face. Does that count?
None of these classic characters are as scary as those dreamed up by game developers.
A sign of the times, perhaps?
When was a new Forza announced?
XCOM and Kingdoms are third-party exclusives, but you can have those.
The point I was trying to make is that the Gears 3 delay plus Kinect shift to casual games COULD mean a shift in focus for MS. Namely, a shift to the next Xbox.
