1 - Magna Carta 2 is looking pretty slick.
I would give it an honorable mention. Downloaded the trailers from my Japanese Live account today. If you haven't seen them yet, check them out:

http://www.gametrailers.com...

It reminds me of Lost Odyssey with a dash of SO: 4 thrown in; I'll be picking it up for sure.

Edit: @ Kareshi_X. Pretty sure it's due fall of this year. NB is publishing it and there's already an English trailer floating around somewhere (could be on the page that I linked). The dub/ voice acting is surprisingly decent too. Cheers.

I hope it's better than the first Magna Carta. That game was horrible.

1.4 - Never played the first one
But the battle system looks pretty good in that game. It looks like it has some battle elements from SO4, which I heard has a fun battle system, but was lacking in the voice acting department. Also, I wouldn't push this game to the side because the first one might of sucked. That's not the best excuse to ignore a game.

LOL at these articles...

The X360 list is very incomplete and the PS3 list have 3 or 4 games that are not releasing this year. The author should wake up and do some research.

1.6 - LOL did you guys read the comment on that site?
Those guys are idiots. And they have the nerve to cal call out the author...

How hard is it to understand that L4D2, Conviction, and ME2 are not exclusive. The same going to games like The Agency and DC Universe: They are not exclusive. The list was about upcoming 360 exclusives not Microsoft exclusives.

1.7 - Did anyone actually look at the media that I linked? Or are we all just spam clicking "disagree"? :)
Magna Carta 2 appears to be one of the most polished JRPGs this gen. It's nothing like the original (which was a 2002 PC port to start with; whereas this was built from scratch).

My self-esteem isn't so fragile that I am threatened by games on a console that is not of my choice. People seriously need to grown up around here.

To each their own, I suppose. Oh well, I'm off to play a little Demon's Souls or perhaps finish off Blue Dragon (had that one sitting on my shelf for over a year now). Being a multi console owner, I have a variety of choices. Being a brand loyalist gets you nowhere in life. Have fun investing your emotions into faceless corporations that have utterly no concern for your welfare and solely for your cash.

I'll be playing games.

Back in my day, a "console exclusive" was still pretty exclusive.

This pair of articles are really screwed up. i can kinda understand this one because pc releases stop some game from being exclusive, im sure theres others though. The PS3 list is worse though because he mentions games that are not coming out this year.

"My self-esteem isn't so fragile that I am threatened by games on a console that is not of my choice. People seriously need to grown up around here."

No but it's fragile enough to get butthurt over being disagreed with.

Being a PS3 owner, having changed over from Xbox, I can say that I no longer give a crap because I buy games for my PC now. Sure games come out that I want, and sometimes they get bought. But most of the time I just play Team Fortress 2 or Fallout 3 on my computer. These lists are dumb is the takeaway here people.

Yeah "Console exclusive" means console exclusive, unless fanboys are saying PC's are consoles now. I mean seriously get it for the 360 or get it for the PC money still goes to MS.

Console exclusiviness is a non-sensical concept and it defeats the whole exclusiveness idea. Exclusive is something you CANT find elsewhere. Look at KZ2, inFAMOUS, Halo:ODST. Those are exclusives.

If some games like L4D and now L4D2 run on PC they are not exclusives in any way. I can play them without a 360. I think the idea of exclusiviness is force the custumer to buy certain console cause he/she cant play that game anywhere else. For example FFXIV, Conviction, Alan Wake aren exclusives either.

Please dont come with PC prices as an argument. A medium spec PC is pretty cheap by now and you can run games like Gears better than on 360, btw everybody has a decent PC nowadays.

1.17 - CLAPS for Tech2
Finally a web site who knows the meaning of exclusive. A game you can only play on one certain platform only. This means you have to buy a certain gaming platform to play an exclusive game. Just like how ff14, the agency and dc universe is not exclusive due to being able to play those games also on a PC. The 360 diehard fans seem to feel so hurt that alot of the best games are also on a PC meaning it is not exclusive. Funny how the MS worshippers cling to the idea that PC gaming is too expensive for everyone while it it just may be too expensive for them. You being unable to afford a gaming rig for around $700 doesn't equate everyone else. I have a PS3 and agaming PC so that means I'll be enjoying the best exclusive PS games as well as superior versions of PC games that will also be on the 360 like ME2, SC: conviction and Alan Wake. Go cry on another 360 fans shoulders that the 360 hardly has any exclusive or games that are currently exclusive which will most likely show up a year later on the PS3. If a web site claims a game is exclusive when it is not then it is false advertising as people may feel like they have to buy a certain platform to enjoy the game when it isn't the case. Good job Tech2.

I consider myself a pc gamer more than a console gamer but I also own a 360 and ps3 for titles that don't come to pc. I do a minor upgrade to my pc about every 1 to 1.5 years and I do a major upgrade about every 2.5 to 3 years. A minor upgrade could be more RAM, moving up to the fastest processor my mobo can support, changing out a video card or upgrading/adding a hard drive. A major upgrade means a new Motherboard/processor/RAM which may force you to a new power supply aswell. Doing this I spend about $400 a year on my gaming rig just to keep it current. I NEVER buy the latest greatest processor and videocard either. Add maybe another $200-250 per year if you want to always be running a high end rig. Considering that you still can't play all the 360 exclusives and that the 360 can be had for as little as $200 I find it REALLY hard to believe that anyone could make an argument for not buying a 360. Actually, I can't see anyone making an argument for not buying the ps3 either if they are a pc gamer. Besides, buying the pc version of a game that's not on the ps3 only helps ms secure console exclusives since the people that would normally be demanding a version for ps3 just bought it on the pc instead. That way the dev looses fewer sales even though they didn't bother with a ps3 version and beleive me, ms makes this point when they are trying to secure a console exclusive.

No no no, you misunderstand. I ACTUALLY hope it's better than the first one. I own a 360, I'd like to pick it up if it's any good. I'm just hoping they improve upon the first, because it wasn't good.

they are console exclusives. the fact that they are coming to windows as well is because MS can make more money and so can the developer. i'm sure when a company is deciding to go exclusive, it's a pretty big bonus to know they can also release for PC.

i don't see why the sony-only crew acts like this is a one-up in their favor. pretty silly.

if sony had its own OS, you can be sure most of its exclusives would be going to PC as well. it's just business.

here's the argument sony fanboys love to make: "i have a ps3 and a pc, so i don't need a 360." fine, that's mostly true. that doesn't make the 360 a bad system. and 360 fanboys love to say "3rd party titles are better on 360, and if you don't have a pc or ps3, then we get just as many good exclusives (from a console perspective)." fine, also mostly true.
I have a ps3 and a 360 and a pc so i have access to everything. so i guess i'm a me fanboy cuz i get to play more games than 360 or sony fanboys. i am declaring myself the official winner of the console war. grats me!

Anyway, this is looking like a great year for all consoles and even handhelds. Even the Wii is gaining some ground through the eyes of the hardcore gamer. I just hope there are still surprises in store =D

I'm spending $60 on Dirt 2 and Forza 3 with ten times the ammount of content of both combined. It's called Gran Turismo 5!!

This is no attack. You have a great list and I'm poking fun with my GT5 comment so just game on man.

ya, but killjoy..

by the time GT5 comes out, he would have played both those games and finished them over and over.

I won't comment on the content stuff, but more content does not always equal more fun. I played prologue and didn't think much of it at all. the car models looked impressive and that was about it.

for someone who has both systems, i will be playing shift and forza 3 and by the time gt5 is out i will have had my fill of racers anyway.

Dread did you even read it?

He put every game under the sun for PS3 including downloads and even GT5 which has no release date lol and for 360 named L4D2 for 2009 and Alan Wake. Not too balanced considering he named a bunch of PS3 games(that I care nothing about in a Xbox 360 article)... some multiplats and 2 360 games. lol

His list consist of 360 exclusives and PS3 exclusives(and some multiplat), regardless of how many there are of each it's a fact. Because he didn't mention those games YOU are looking forward to you gotta get all butt hurt and tell him to do it in a PS3 article. Could you at least pretend your a gamer for one article? There's nothing wrong with it, for all we know he could be playing all those multiplats on 360 if it makes you feel better lol.

Kind of defensive there. Haha i think he was listing games he was excited about. I wouldn't list games that weren't on my radar regardless of their critical success or acclaim because they dont appeal to me. Like Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Fallout 3, The Orange Box (excluding Portal), these may be great games but because they dont appeal to me they aren't on my "best of (insert yr)".

Ok I'm sorry if I took it the wrong way, I just thought it was another PS3 fanboy naming a bunch of PS3 games and purposely being fanboyish and trying to justify owning the PS3 when this is a Xbox 360 article. We see PS3 fanboys do stuff like that everywhere, I didn't meaning anything bad.

If not, I really didn't try to be mean. Sorry. Both PS3 and 360 have a bunch of great games, that was my point.

Uhhhh....I did include 360 games. Haha, believe me, I love both of my consoles (360 and PS3). I just listed the games across all platforms that interest me. I'm sure both of our interests vary. Oh and I almost forgot about Shadow Complex. I can't wait for this one! It reminds me the SNES Metriod games...which are missed in this day and age =(
