Some Xbox 360 Games That I Have My Eye On
Currently there is only a hand full of good Xbox 360 games out there and it is a damn shame because it is coming up on it's one year mark this November. However just in time for the Christmas buying-fest consumer frenzy there is a whole slew of games coming out that I have my eye on and quite possibly plan on reserving.
All these dates are from Gamestop so they are scheduled but like all future game details things have a way of changing.
LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy 9/12/06
The first LEGO StarWars game was nearly perfect and left me wanting this sequel.
Just Cause 9/26/06
This looks like it might be a good action game with subversive political overtones and huge enviroments.
Need For Speed: Carbon 11/1/06
I am currently loving Need For Speed : Most Wanted and the next game in the series is going to rock.
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 11/1/06
I have Never played Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball but this might be interesting
Gears of War 11/7/06
I really really really want this game. Screw Halo 3 would rather have Gears of War with that lovely Unreal Engine 3. Just say "third-person tactical action/horror game" Ahh!
Tony Hawk's Project 8 11/7/06
The only sports game series that I actually care about coming to the Xbox 360 will an all new made for PS3/360 world.
WWE Smackdown Vs. RAW 2007 11/14/06
This will probably be the damn best looking wrestling game ever made. I don't especially like wrestling but the Smackdown games have been tons of fun.
Sonic the Hedgehog 11/14/06
The new 360 Sonic game is looking super crispy.
And next year in 2007...
Lost Planet 1/8/2007
Capcom is making a nice sexy looking next gen action game. It is too bad it is almost a year away.
Grand Theft Auto IV 10/16/07
The Mack daddy of all wanted games. It will be released on my birthday next year.

I already have Gears of War on pre-order. It's going to be pretty sweet- check out www.gamevideos.com for some trailers and videos of the game in motion.
Just Cause and Lost Planet are definatly on my radar too.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but January 8th, 2007 seems like a tad over four months away. Yes?

You are right Boyd that is why I said "And next year in 2007..."

what about halo
3 ?

Well there is no firm date for Halo 3. I actually think Gears of War looks more impressive now and I love shooters by Unreal.
