Every major Microsoft first-party game dated

CVG writes: "Microsoft's recent announcement that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will launch on November 14 means that every game in Microsoft's first-party 2008 line-up has finally been given a solid release date. No more guessing!

And that means that, unless any of the following games bow down to some unexpected slippage, 360 gamers can start their saving their pennies and figuring out how they're going to juggle multi-card payments to mum and dad until Christmas brings them some much needed cash. You're looking at buying a game a month. Credit crunch? My arse..."

To be honest all is you got to do is look at the quality of the first party exclusives, and Sony is the clear winner. And Sony also has more than 1 exclusive coming out each month.

@ Omega

Sony has already confirmed which PS3 exclusive games are coming for the rest of this year, just because they aren't dated doesn't mean it's going to be delayed. If Sony was going to push more games to 2009 they would have already done it by now.

I think that you should be more worried about Microsoft's 2009 line up because so far Sony's lineup is looking FAR better, and at least Sony has recently shown off some 2009 games for the public to see. Microsoft's 2009 lineup is still pretty much in the dark.

1.7 - We already knew gears and fable realease date. Why is too human in the list??

Banjo and viva aren't high end games, so their release date is obvious.

Sony on the other hand has the month set, but not the date yet.

So dude, whats the biggest game since GTA IV on the 360? Please don't say Too Human ;)

The PS3 has got one of the best games ever made since then, the 360? Not so much. So I wouldn't talk smack about delays like you are doing. Even with delays, its easy to see where the best games are at.

PS3: Resistance 2, MotorStorm: PR, LittleBigPlanet, SOCOM, Wipeout HD

360: Gears 2, Fable 2

X360: Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo-Kazooie N&B, Viva Pinata 2, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery, Last Remnant (timed-exclusive), and Left 4 Dead (pc/360)

But you're right about one thing, its easy to see where the best games are at

Dead rising is coming to wii, Gears is on PC and Gears 2 will again be on PC and with more content regardless of which control scheme you prefer, Mass Effect is on PC, Last Remnant is coming to PS3, and most reports are saying we could see Left for Dead on PS3, but it's also coming out on PC.

Especially if you have a PC, PS3 is arguably a better choice. I dig Braid and Geometry Wars 2 and all the JRPG's, but PS3 is really coming with a much more appealing line-up to the hardcore in the matter of exclusives.

In the matter of multi-plat, games are better than ever.

360 has infinite undiscovery, star ocean 4, fable 2, banjo, viva piñata 2, and what else? Halo wars?

ps3 has Motorstorm 2, God of war 3, Killzone 2, LBP, Resistance 2, white Knight Story, whatevery Team ICO is working on, Uncharted 2, Dragon Quest, Tekken 6, FFVErsus XIII (looks dope) and that's just off the top of my head.

Well for 2009, the 360 exclusives are:

Halo Wars
Alan Wake
Splinter Cell Conviction

Then you got some other teams from Rare working on some stuff, maybe some third party exclusivies and some new IP's.

Which blows in comparison to PS3 and Wii.

If anyone wants to hear about either system, just ask. I see both being played way more than my 360 in the next couple of years.

Although for the last 2 years I've been playing 360. I think the latter end of the cycle is far better, though.

Still, there are games on 360 I'd miss if I sold it.

Nonsense. You cross out two games that aren't out yet?

Viva Piniata 1 was a good game, although not marketed well and so lower sales then expected. I think Viva Piniata 2 could come out even better. With Viva Piniata hitting the DS also, the cartoon on TV what you think those kids want to play on a homeconsole?

Banjo, don't know, we'll see.

The only interesting PS3 game I see this year is Little Big Planet. Nothing more really.

Really Mart only LBP? You need to cut the crap. Motor storm and Resistance where both heavy hitters for the PS3 millions sold. Don't you think the fans of those series will be picking up those games come launch? Not to mention the golden bullet that is Killzone 2. Maybe none of these are of interest to you but to the rest of the world they are.

If it wins any award, the sun will rise from the west the next morning and elephants could climb trees. It can't even hold the attention of those kids at the mall for 10mins.

well Marty

For this PS3 owner the only game on the MS list that interest me is Gears of War

but i guess marty is not like me..he doesnt dig shooters..because if he did he would have more to look 4ward to then LBP....

btw if thats the case

why would marty even own a 360?

I wasn't all together sold on Ps3 until Games blow's new website showed me the light. Now, there is nothing I see on the xbox 360 worth buying one over the ps3.

Tears for Blood alone, now that I've seen it for myself and know it is real, has no equal. Legend of Dragoon 2 and about 11 others he has on his website with full pics fr proof, Ps3 is going to be king. No one can touch what I've seen on Ps3. no one.

This year, LBP, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2 and a few others but next year it's over. End of story and Killzone 2 is the least of what I've seen.

Games blow has silenced me as a critic and proved me way wrong about him and the ps3 in one single peak into their website. He is the real deal.

I'm sure if he knew how you really were he would not be giving you a look at their website. I find it funny that on Neogaf with all your click buddies you hate on Gamesblow but over here you praise him. It is not uncommon from your console actions though. You sway more than a broken tree in a weather storm.

If it makes you feel any less of a poster he let me and a few others from the Sony forms look at the site too so you are not special.
