Xbox has "Greatest release schedule ever"

[Dark Drakan]

60 new releases from end of summer to xmas and total library of over 300 games cant be bad.

From the end of summer to the festive period, says the willy-waving press release, Xbox 360 boasts over 60 new releases, bringing the console's total library to over 300 games.

Just think of all those Achievements...

The biggest games in the line-up, says MS (as if we needed them to point them out), are role-playing adventure Blue Dragon (which we really need to get around to unpacking), Project Gotham Racing 4, Halo 3 and everyone's favourite underwater shooter Bioshock.

If you like being sociable, Microsoft also notes that Viva Piñata: Party Animals and Buzz! Clone Scene It? are also in the shops - though you can't pull off any Christmas headshots in those. Nan'll be pleased.

As much as we hate getting behind a platform holder's shameless PR machine, the Xbox 360 has an undeniably great line-up this holiday.

We don't know if we'd rather be playing Mass Effect than Mario Galaxy on Christmas Day, but there are certainly more than two games worth owning on Microsoft's box, even if the Wii is certain to trample it in the sales charts.

Urgh, we feel dirty...

I was actually thinking the same thing the other day. Xbox 360 owners are just spoiled for choice with Christmas with all the great, and usually exclusive, games that are being released like: Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Orange Box, Halo 3 and shed-loads more.

Just a shame I opened my pressies early...

They are both Multiformat games, probably why they were missed out.

Xbox owners are VERY lucky. They get all the great games, and in the games that aren't exclusives, XBox 360s seem to get the better features (SmackDown! vs RAW 2008 for example)
