Top 10 Confirmed 360 Exclusives @ E3 '08 (XboxOZ360)

If there's been one reason above any other to own a 360 it's the exclusives. Year after year, Microsoft continues to dazzle gamers with an ever increasing library of exciting new IPs and groundbreaking, record-shaking franchises. This year gamers are being treated to the widest diversity of AAA titles Microsoft has ever assembled with only one FPS in a lineup strewn with RPGs, strategy, platforming, action and adventure.

The only question is what made the top 10 and how do we rate the big hitters in Gears 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars and Banjo-Kazooie...

I just hope Fable 2 takes the spotlight away form the limelight hogging Gears 2... they've only got the one big shooter this year and I can't see them letting anybody forget about it! :(

@ Bubbles

That'd be Peter Moore who's now head of EA Sports. Although I'd love to see J Allard return for Microsoft, doing his best wigger - "I'm hip and on the down-low" corporate America - a coming on stage with a big ass COG tag on his arm! lol

1.8 - RARE IS BACK
well after some average games, like PD: Zero, Ghoulies, Kameo, I've been extremely dissapointed in Rare, while these weren't bad games, they weren't up to the quality they had achieved with the N64 days, but Banjo is looking just plain amazing, yep after viva pinata and banjo, rare is back on the top of my favorite dev of all time. Oh and also, this is console exclusive right, because the day Left 4 Dead is an X360 exclusive is the day valve abandons its loyal PC gamers, and that ain't gonna happen.
edit: damn I forgot I was replying, anyway, I think this will be a good final E3, you've got all these great games coming out for all consoles, Ninty, Sony, M$ will all have great showings, yep it must suck to be a fanboy nowadays and only have one console with all the great exclusives coming out on the different platforms.

6 (Left 4 Dead) and 10 (Tales of Vesperia) are only timed exclusive aren't they?
Shut this user up Let user speak
zethos56 - 513 days 16 hours ago

I think Tales of Vesperia might be. But Left 4 Dead isn't (Valve has no interest in the PS3).

1.11 - Seems like a solid lineup
Probably better then whatever nintendo has up their sleeves.
Shut this user up Let user speak
mepsipax - 513 days 15 hours ago
1.12 - not true
I think Ninty will have some pretty good reveals, just looking at the possibilities Disaster: DOC, Pikmin 3, Man Icarus, Animal Crossing Wii, New Zelda Game, Punch Out, and maybe even a new retro title, it's gonna be a good E3 on all fronts.

Ya...Valve admitted in a interview that they "weren't ps3 developers" (meaning they sux). So I personally would rather the game stay on 360 only than it port and sux bigtime like Halflife orange box did.

How do you play games if you don't watch the game?

-----------------------------

Needless to say, Too Human still looks like crap. And a game BASED ON MULTIPLAYER, only 2 man co-op? C'monnnn

The only one Bob Dole cares about is Fable 2, and everybody knows Bob Dole's opinion is the only one that matters.

Bob Dole read the article and agrees with Fable 2 being at number 1.

Oddly, the top 2 are the only 2 I care about.

Velvet Assassin looks horrible.
Shut this user up Let user speak
Superfragilistic - 513 days 17 hours ago
5.1 - Velvet Assassin...
Do you mean the game or the protagonist?
Shut this user up Let user speak
mepsipax - 513 days 17 hours ago
5.2 - hmm,
I'd disagree with you on that, you don't think banjo or left 4 dead matter, all gears 2 is going to be is just a nice upgrade to the first gears, not saying thats bad, I'm just saying I don't know why this is going to be huge, I'm still a little skeptical about Fable 2, the first Fable had the same hype around it, and I was extremely dissapointed with it, anyway banjo and L4D are looking wicked.
oh and also, gears had the most chessiest and cleached singleplayer, so they better not try to think people play gears for the story.
Shut this user up Let user speak
PirateThom - 513 days 17 hours ago

Superfragilistic - The game in general, just what I've seen.

mepsipax -L4D has potential, but I'll wait for reviews. Rare are yet to make a good game with Microsoft, so I am not really holding out much hope. Cautious optomism.

I'm looking forward to Gears 2 just because I like the ridiculous machismo of the whole thing.
Shut this user up Let user speak
Superfragilistic - 513 days 17 hours ago
5.4 - @mespiax
Mate I couldn't agree more, for me personally I'm really looking forward to Fable 2, Banjo and Left 4 Dead. I agree with your sentiments about Gears 2. It's well on track to be a very nice upgrade, but compared to those other titles I just don't find it as interesting or innovative.

And hell yeah... Rare's back! :)

EDIT: @Pirate

All good mate. I was worried you were saying that hot thing in leather was horrible! lol

As for Rare. Go back and play the original Viva Pinata and then tell me they haven't made a good game for Microsoft. ;)

I'm really hoping it isn't. It is a great concept, and a bit different to WW2 shooters.

Omegasyde - 513 days 13 hours ago

I don't think RARE is going to bounce back to the fame it had with goldeneye/Killer Instinct soon.

But if Killer Instinct sequel pops out that would be on the level of a final Fantasy 7 remake. Microsoft you should give the fans what they want...Halo 4, Killer Instinct 2, and some how Knights of Old Republic 3.

6 - it's a good list.
but there's so many unknowns about this e3, for every developer/publisher, so many titles that are expected to make an appearence.

So many titles that we're expecting to see some infor on because they've been in a blackout for the longest time. Alan wake and La.Noir, come to mind.

Yep I hear ya... Luckily I post their Unconfirmed List to! lol

It's got Alan Wake, Halo Chronicles, Mass Effect 2 and Dead Rising 2 on the list amongst others... but no LaNoire (isn't that a PS3 title?).

Anyways here's the other list if you haven't found it already, its way more controversial I think...

I'm pretty certain they're talking console exclusives mate, because half that list may inevitably go to the PC.
