XBox 360 Game list released

Well more or less released. This isn't a definitive list but it does have some details on what the system will launch with. Here are the games mentioned:

Take-Two said its launch titles are basketball game "NBA 2K6," hockey game "NHL 2K6," tennis game "Top Spin 2," snowboarding game "Amped 3" and "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion," a role-playing game.

Activision has four Xbox 360 launch titles on its list. They are World War II game "Call of Duty 2," action game "Quake 4," extreme sports title "Tony Hawk's American Wasteland" and "GUN."

EA the world's biggest video game publisher, on Monday said it will have five titles out in time for the launch. They are the racing game "Need for Speed Most Wanted," its "FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup" soccer title, basketball game "NBA Live 06," golf game "Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06" and "Madden NFL 06."

A THQ Inc. (THQI.O: Quote, Profile, Research) spokesman said the company has two launch window titles for the Xbox 360: urban action game "Saint's Row" and "The Outfit," a World War II-inspired game.

Microsoft this week confirmed that the action-adventure game "Kameo: Elements of Power" and "Perfect Dark Zero," both from game developer Rare, will be shipping at launch.

"Project Gotham Racing 3" from independent game studio Blizzard Creations also should be in stores, Microsoft said.

Seems like a pretty good list of games at launch. There will be plenty of sports stuff. Some roleplaying and action stuff to keep people interested as well. It would be nice to see more racing games though but I guess Project Gotham will have to do. I'm probably only going to buy FIFA World Cup and maybe The Outfit depending on the reviews. I haven't bought a Soccer Game for any console and it should get me pumped up for the World Cup.
