14 DAY TRIAL // The Xbox 360 is looking very strong, after witnessing the presentation that Microsoft had at E3. We've already talked about Fable 2 to some extent and we knew most of the stuff that was shown in relation to Gears of War 2, but there's plenty more games to talk about when it comes to the Xbox 360.
In a major image coup Square Enix has revealed that Final Fantasy XIII, the eagerly anticipated role playing game, is also coming to the Microsoft gaming console. The game was initially only announced for the PlayStation 3 and an exclusivity deal would have been a major hit for Sony.
At long last we know what Lips is: the first foray Microsoft is making into the music game market. The game will allow players to sing along their favorite tunes while also allowing another player to join in and play various instruments.
Microsoft is also pointing out the fact that Grand Theft Auto IV is getting exclusive DLC this fall, courtesy of Rockstar, but there are no details as to what the DLC will contain and how much it will cost.
In addition to Final Fantasy XIII, Square Enix is also announcing two other Xbox 360 games, called Infinite Undiscovery, of which we have talked before, and the new The Last Remnant, which is a role playing adventure set in a fantasy world torn asunder by war, where the player has to collect ancient Remnants that offer magical powers. The game is coming to the console on November 20.
Resident Evil 5 is also coming to the Xbox 360, on March 15, 2009, as Capcom announced at E3. Sadly, the release date is the only new thing we found out about the game.
The long awaited and delayed Too Human now has a demo up on Xbox Live, courtesy of Silicon Knights. The developer hopes that the demo will show fans how well the game is coming along, showcasing the furious combat of the title and the way the character development works. The game is set to be launched on August 19 in North America and on August 29 in Europe.
Last but not least, Microsoft talked about the internally developed Halo Wars, the real-time strategy game that will let you experience the Halo universe and the struggle between the UNSC and the Covenant from the perspective of both parties. It seems that a major part of the game will take place on Harvest, the first planet the war was fought on.
The big disappointment is that Bungie did not say anything regarding the rumor that they might be developing Halo 4.
