The funny thing about this post is that at least two of those titles are coming to the 360, possibly all of them.
2 are confirmed yes, generally its very hard and expensive to hold onto your exclusive games, they have to be a game studio that is heavily backed by sony or MS to afford a exclusive title. Konami is that kind of studio, and Kojima has more or less ruled out any ports for MGS4. Read it in a recent interview of him, was quite interesting, but expected too. A console needs atleast one sure shot cash cow to attract gamers, multiplattform will be the norm from now (IMO not a good thing if it becomes too common, games are what makes the consoles what they are), but not for all games.

As much as I'd like to believe that, and hope that Kojima keeps his foot down, it's a little discouraging when you think about the fact that all the other games in the series have been ported. Heh, we'll see though.

Didnt all of you guys see that april fools joke? There was a link posted on the kojima website on apirl 1st, but it was dated as 3/31 and said MGS4 to the 360, everyone was all going crazy then kotaku does an interview on the 2nd and basically called out all the 360 fanboys.

Yeah, they said it had been moved to the 360, like it wasn't even going to be initially released on the PS3, right? I think I heard something about that and then instantly dismissed it as absurd. :P

Only because I've read enough about Kojima to know how he feels. Although, I'm still not holding my breath for it to STAY an exclusive, but I suppose I can at least keep my fingers crossed, heh.

Yeah it was that interview I read. It would suprise me if it was ported really. A console needs its huge cash cow, and Kojima and Konami has been pretty much backed alot by Sony to port MGS out of economic reasons. Its generally the few huge studios like Konami that can afford to make exclusive games, when they are supported by the parent company (MS also has some studios they are hevily financing to make exclusive games, even if most studios for MS games make multi games).

Plus the attitude and comments of kojima himself is indication enough. He doesnt want to port it because he feels it doesnt suit the game and would ruin the experience.

Anyone try that Icon game, I guess it is a fighting game with custom sound tracks. looks ok but of course I am the guy who liked the bouncer game on the PS2 :roll:

Fight for NY was good but Icon sucks. They didn't let the wresltemania team make it, gave it to the fight night team which fucked it up.

Do you like mech games?? AC4 is awesome, there is some flaws like equipment limitations and weird lock on modes, but all is over shadowed by the great graphics, awesome movies and great custom-ablity. So there :P

I only played the JP 360 demo and ps3 demo. I hate the infinite boost while on ground BS. I'm going to pick it up for xbox even though i hate how dark it is since the ps3 version didn't have voice support(US might have).

Oh and I heard from Last Raven players that the Raven group is done.

That makes me happy. All the trailers made it look like it was trying to be Z.O.E and I didn't want them to do that. Leave my AC the way it is(except these new fucking controls)!

It all depends on how heavy your mech is mine is soild and the energy gauge goes down when ever I touch the boost. Anyway it is a good game it is a little darker then the others I have played. I want to get all the weapons, because some of the schematics on the wait screens look awesome

Now that is a fucking lie. AC: Master of Arena is the best. There is no contest. AC2 may be the second best though.

Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio Future are finally playable on the 360.

Fuck Microsoft and their terrible backwards compatibility scheme but these news couldn't make me happier.

Dead Rising is great.

Well, that just means that you can't read because the game clearly states what happens when you hit "end" after you die.

I really hated the save system at first but it grew on me when I hit my second playthrough.

It's good because, if you don't want to fuck up your game, you really have to plan your routes and juggle between different tasks and missions.

The problem is that this is not apparent during your first playthrough because you're not maxed out and even the most menial tasks end up being somewhat of a chore because of this. Once you're at full speed, strength, health with full inventory and those crazy moves you're no longer concerned with "staying alive" but rather with "how the hell am I going to do all this stuff in the alloted time"?

It's a different kind of game because of it and I ultimately thought it was very refreshing.

That, and using "Disembowl" on zombies never gets old.

If you save your game after you die, you get to keep your stats but are forced to start from the very beginning.

The game makes this perfectly clear.

Panzer Dragoon Orta was the best game on the Xbox. I could not beat the final boss on normal though. I should give it another run through.
