A Strong Game Library With Upcoming Games For The Xbox 360
Microsoft's first venture into the console market with the Xbox was a moderate success, but the is Microsoft's first true contender for most popular console platform. Years after its release, it is still going strong, and there are still a ton of big titles that will be released in the years to come. A strong library of video games is the only way for a platform to compete in the video game market, and the console certainly doesn't disappoint in this regard. If you own a 360 or are considering buying one, it's important to know the upcoming games for Xbox 360.
Big and Popular Titles
There are more popular upcoming games for than for any other console. Recently, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XIII would no longer be a Playstation 3 exclusive title and that it would be shipped for the as well. Such a move is indicative of the Xbox 360's popularity, and it ensures that owners will be well stocked with games for as long as they own the console. To have a new Final Fantasy game come out for a non Playstation console is a huge move, as the past six titles have been released on the Playstation and Playstation 2 consoles only (with two ports for PC versions of FF7 and FF8).
Other blockbuster upcoming games for include such titles as Rock Band 2, Halo Wars, Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, and Fable 2. In fact, the only area in which upcoming games for are lacking is the strategy market, which is traditionally a well performing segment of the PC games market, but 360 owners will still be able to look forward to Halo Wars and Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. All of the big genres are being covered in 2008 and 2009, fleshing out an already strong game library consisting of Grand Theft Auto 4, Halo 3, and Call of Duty 4.
If you're bored with your current games and are looking for some exciting new games to play, 2008 and 2009 will be great years for upcoming games for Xbox 360. However, there is always the extra chance that some low flying titles will turn out to be excellent, such as the relatively new PC game Sins of a Solar Empire, which flew under the radar until its release, when it became a blockbuster strategy title. With huge titles like Age of Conan on the horizon, owners have every reason to be excited for upcoming games for in the next two years.
