[XB360] What launch game are you most looking forward to?

[Hetz]

Well?

I only included games that are for sure going to make launch, so no DOA 4 or Oblivion or Ghost Recon.

[coopasonic]

I've seen Amped 3 on some launch lists, but not others. If that doesn't make it out for release day, PGR3 is my second choice. Most Wanted is also high on the list.

[stiffler]

PGR3 is the only thing I care about.  Among other things, it's one of only 4 titles that can't be played elsewhere.  That and I really enjoyed PGR2.  PGR3 over Live will be great when the shortages are over and we can all play together.

[CeeKay]

Condemned for me.

[TheMissingLink]

Probably Condemned.

[Kevin Grey]

I'm voting for Condemned primarily based on the premise and Monolith's track record.  I love platformers so Kameo certainly has some potential too but Rare hasn't been in top form since the N64.  The same applies for PDZ.

[Fellow]

PGR3 for me, since DOA4 got pushed back.

[-Lord Ebonstone-]

Man, if there were ever a poll that needed a "SH!T BONERZ" option, it'd be this one.

Which is to say, the launch games all look boring now that Oblivion got pushed back.

[WinoMcCougarstein]

Or maybe just a "Troll" or "derail" button would do just fine.

[markus]

I'm a rare fanboy so I went with Kameo, but where's Call Of Duty 2?  I know a lot of people are looking forward to that one.

[Calvin]

Perfect Dark Zero
Kameo
Condemned

tentatively Madden 06

Isn't that a foregone conclusion when it comes to LE?

[-Lord Ebonstone-]

All I meant was, alot of my 360 interest was riding on Oblivion.

Perfect Dark Zero looks like it could be OK, but the original PD was grossly overrated, so I dunno.

Racing games -- bleh.  They're the easiest to program, it's why every launch has a bevy of them.  Most launch Racers are forgotten a few scant months after release.

Quake 4, Call of Duty 2, GUN:  I'd buy them on PC if I wanted them.  Mouse aiming FTW.

Sport games -- never had any interest in them.

Kameo -- has some potential but an offbeat launch title is rarely a good launch title.

Condemned -- probably the most appealing to me out of the bunch, but certainly not enough to buy a system over.

I can see your point.  I mean, basically, Kameo and Condemned are the only two original games on the list.  Everything else is a sequel or out for other systems.  Good thing I want Kameo!

2 new reviews from 1up - NBA 2k6 and Amped 3 - both got the score of 7.0.  Reviewer says that both don't take advantage of next-gen.  

AMPED 3 IS NOT PLAYABLE OVER LIVE!?!?!?!?  Wow, no sale, no sale, no sale.  How retarded is that?

I am looking forward to Laughing Out Loud.  It is a launch title that has been kept super secret.  It is a point-and-click adventure game with hyper-realistic features such as over caffinated gamers, getting up early, waiting in line, being told you cannot get your pre-order and making death threats at major corporation.  Laughing Out Loud will be coming to a message board near you on November 22.

1UP had an article yesterday talking about NBA2k6 vs NBA Live. They said that Live was a much better next-gen game and took advantage of the system much more than 2k6 which just recycled the old engine. After reading that, I kind of expected 2k6 to get a low score.

IN!  :wink:

PGR3

[Scott]

Still Oblivion for me, which is why I don't mind the shortages at the moment.  I kind of agree with Lord Ebonstone now.  Any of the FPS games I can get on the PC, or even some of the sports games.  The racing games that are shipping are all fairly shallow, at least to me, I prefer Forza type racing games.

There are a lot of pretty good games coming out, but nothing spectacular to me.  Kameo looks fun, but I'm not huge into adventure games.  I think if my 360 came right away, I'd be inclined to sell it.

Down the road, what else besides Oblivion is coming for the 360?  Looks like a pretty good game drought for a while.

[Lockdown]

PGR 3

[Purge]

I was Amped until I read the 1up review. No Live?? No buy.. (rental only).
I put down PGR3, I won't truly decide until gameday.

I prefer 'Crushed Dreams' by Dreamcatcher.  Sure, it's along the same lines as LOL but features an interactive online component where you can pwn your opponnents dreams online.
