I just looked at it and though well umm ok. Underwhelmed would be the understatement of the decade. I'm also a bit curious about FFXI..

 

No Oblivion or Perfect Dark. You can find the full article at Eurogamer.

Why are they listing the puzzle games separately? It doesn't make it more appealing.

Dunno I just cut and pasted it

 

Kameo is about the only "new" thing on there that I recognise if you count new as having been created for two other consoles first.

[Judge Hades]

Backgammon?

[Krookie]

Call of Duty 2 should be good, I've played it on the computer and it's very well done. I am however, a Brothers In Arms man myself...

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Backgammon? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

My guess would be that they are including the stuff you get on the HD to pad the list out. Can't see any rational person releasing those games for retail.

[Judge Hades]

Maybe its Battle Backgammon where you blow up your opponent in real time play.

[Nartwak]

What? No solitaire?

[Judge Hades]

No, not just Solitaire, but Solitaire ONLINE!

[ShadowPaladin V1.0]

Wow what a concept (w00t)

[Child of Flame]

I would be excited about King Kong except I'm getting it on PC.

[Jumjalum]

Oblivion is out on PC and Xbox on the day of the 360 launch (2/12) in the UK at least.

[jaguars4ever]

Backgammon

Brilliant!

[Tigranes]

jumjalum: there has been no official confirmation. game-sites mean nothing.

 

anyway, yeah... to me (RPG/RTS player), there is *nothing* that is appealing about the new lineup. what happened to Colossus, even? Oblivion? The RPGs from the guy that created FF?

[mkreku]

I really hope that Playstation 3 gets a better release day line-up than this..

[Tigranes]

Of course not, they all have backwards compatibility! Woo!

Fingers crossed. I hope the extra time will lead to a more impressive lineup but this about as exiting as damp squib.

 

There are 171 PS3 titles in the works although how many of those will be ready is anyones guess.

 

I know Nintendo plan to have a Mario game to launch the Rev. Although what type , well having seen the controller , thats anyones guess. I'd probably be inclined to redo Twilight Princess as a Rev. title , probably piss a lot of people off but it can stand against a next gen title even in it's current form and if they are looking for maximum wow factor, its one way to go.

360 only has BC (of sorts) if you buy the "deluxe" model otherwise your out of luck.

[alanschu]

The more I think about it the more I hate the idea of having different models of the same console brand.

 

 

The big thing about the consoles has always been the standardized equipment. The thing I hate most about PC games is that games are often designed for the lowest (or at least lower) common denominators. It's not quite as bad now (which I anticipated with the release of the XBox), but it's still kind of irritating to see potential get wasted. I guess it's a blessing in disguise too, as it means cards are good for longer than 6 months :D

[Lord Tingeling]

I wasn't planning on buying the 360 in the near future anyway, and this does not exactly make me want to reconsider that decision.

 

Hopefully the revolution or the PS3 will have a little bit more "ooomph" on release day. Fingers crossed.

Join theclub. Although by UK pricing the 360 "value pack" is very much a false econemy.

 

One of the the things I thought the Xbox got right in the end was the HD. Ironic that it gets dropped for the 360.

 

Well one thing about getting a PC upgrade was you could always go back and play the old stuff at much higher settings, so it was a bit like new stuff :D

[alanschu]

Haha fair enough.

 

I generally have no problems replaying old games, so that's usually what I do too.

[Darth Jebus]

I thought Halo 3 was coming out on launch day as well. Not that I'm looking forward to it, since I never played the second one and only made it halfway through the original. But I thought Microsoft was making it a point to release H3 with the 360.

[metadigital]

No, not just Solitaire, but Solitaire ONLINE!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is that Solitaire the MMORPG ?

[Child of Flame]

I would like to point out I was the first person on the internet to say

 

"Holy crap Microsoft's pulling a SegaCD!"
