Guys, here is a link to the keynote which will be live blogging courtesy of Eurogamer (for people away from their 360's):

EDIT: At people disagreeing, why do you click on a topic that you have no interest in just to disagree with people ?

decapitator5913d ago

Also, It has been confirmed that, Ninja Gaiden 2 will have saved films ala Halo 3.

decapitator5913d ago (Edited 5913d ago )

Banjo 3 is in development alright, but i think it will be at E3 instead.

Also, they will be showing a 1 minute trailer using an in game engine. So brace yourselves.

wallace10005913d ago (Edited 5913d ago )

Thats because some people on this site are just sad. I lost 3 bubbles because is said the PS3 couldn't output TrueHD or DTS HD as bitstream, or even DTS HD in any form, therefore a stand-alone is better. That didn't sit well with some people :-P. Gears of War 2 is big news and some people want to try and downplay it!

Bubble Buddy5913d ago

Resistance 2 Versus Gears of War 2? THIS I WANT TO SEE! :P

wallace10005913d ago

Haha, that is fantastic. The 4 disagrees just proved my point. The Truth? Some people can't handle the truth! If they disagree and keep telling themselves that something isn't true then maybe it might come true :-P

wallace10005913d ago

Thanks for one of my lost bubbles back guys. It made me sad when i lost them for explaining why i wouldn't buy a PS3 as a blu-ray player.

I hope Google Translator is wrong about the date.

Arkham5913d ago

Yeah, "next November" doesn't mean "this November". I think it's probably a translation issue, or just a poor choice of words.

i Shank u5913d ago

i just d/l the trailer on xbox live and it says November 2008. yea baby yea!

Nostradamus5913d ago

There is only one November in 2008.

Antan5913d ago (Edited 5913d ago )

That last one must be an rpg of some sort with a name like that! Not fuused on Too Human but ill take Gears2 and NG2 thanks very much. Castle Crashers and Go! Go! arcade titles maybe?

Edit-: Ill read the source next time! A few are indeed arcade titles.

decapitator5913d ago

Yeah, some new arcade titles. I am really looking froward to Castle crushers. That game looks like just pure fun.

LocustGR5913d ago (Edited 5913d ago )

THE END!

Edit: sorry man. :)
Too excited

deeznuts5913d ago

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer148d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog148d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned148d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c148d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb148d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72147d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman148d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows147d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90311d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson312d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper311d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam311d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist311d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius311d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

Ranking The Gears Of War Games From Worst To Best

The Gears of War series has been a consistent deliverer of quality for Xbox, but which games are the best?

Read Full Story >>
culturedvultures.com
KicksnSnares678d ago

Gears of War is my favorite video game franchise, and the Locust is my all-time favorite faction.

My rank list:
1. Gears of War 2
2. Gears of War 3
3. Gears of War 1
4. Gears of War 4
5. Gears of War 5
6. Gears of War Judgment (No Locust in multiplayer was a disgrace)

ChasterMies677d ago

Agree 100% with this ranking. The campaign in Gears of War 2 is among the most fun campaigns ever made. It’s been downhill from there.

Zombieburger638677d ago

I’d say gears 2 and 3 are pretty even. I absolutely loved both of them.

darthv72678d ago

2 is still my favorite but 5 is also up there (for me). Then I'd say 1, 3, 4 and Judgement. Tactics isnt the same type of game, so it seems odd to rank it among TPS when its a strategy game. So I make that one all its own. Pretty fun game too.

Jericho1337678d ago

The first is and has always been the best one imo - the story, the levels, the set pieces, the soundtrack - as close to perfect as a campaign can get.

I’d say the series had been on a continual downhill slide until 5.

Om4ever677d ago

Naaaan ... 2 is the best by far

MadLad678d ago

3
5
2
1
4
Judgement

I love the series as a whole, but 4 was pretty by the numbers, and Judgement was just ok.

LoveSpuds678d ago

I played them all since picking up a Series X about 7 months ago. Personally, I don't think time has been kind to the earlier games and they feel very slow and repetitive to play. Whilst the newer games may be prettier, they stick with the original gameplay mechanics too much in my view so as a whole series of titles, I think they are pretty average games.

Not to say they weren't fun and I have a lot of nostalgia for 1 and 2, I just think there are far better action games out there.
