Although the Xbox 360 has the highest software attach ratio ever for a video game system, many exclusives don't sell as well as they should. Here are the top five most overlooked 360-only titles.
"I would suggest that, in fact there appears to be a total lack of strategy behind Microsoft’s pricing arrangement for the Games on Demand service, though it would be foolish to do so. You and I are both fully aware that this is just the first piece of a new digital distribution puzzle for the console manufacturer, and one that’s very likely to receive a lot of attention from both the media and consumers. It’s the fact that Microsoft have decided to do as Electronic Theatre initially suggested..."
"It's safe to say August 12th 2009 will go down in the Avatar history books (albeit teeny tiny history books), but it will also be a landmark day for gamers with the introduction of a brand new way to access and play your Xbox 360 games: Games on Demand. Launching worldwide with a library of great titles"
"Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc., through its licensing relationship with Microsoft Game Studios, proudly presents the Viva Piñata Original Soundtrack featuring the original music score from the critically acclaimed Viva Piñata videogame series developed by Rare Ltd."
"6:00 AM - Romp through the garden with your pets.
Slightly obvious imo: Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise, of course there is the sad chance it could be one of those many many (many) Ubisoft Petz games
8:00 AM - A PS3 game that dreams are made of.
A couple of choices here that all kind of make sense: LittleBigPlanet, Eternal Sonata, SingStar
11:00 AM - This should hold you over on Xbox 360 until Final Fantasy XIII releases.
These two Square games come to ..."
"Lets not forget about the console wars! There are sale charts, there are fanboys slamming other fanboys data, there are all sorts of ways to decide the winner of the console wars One of them is, of course, checking the exclusive games and thats exactly what were planning to do now. So, the battle is on: PS3 vs. Xbox 360 vs. Wii which console has the best exclusives?"
"Today, 2nd January 2009, is the ninth day of Christmas. It may seem like Christmas is all but over-and-done with now, but Electronic Theatre are staying true to tradition and heading-on through those infamous twelve days! On this ninth day, The Twelve Games of Christmas enters its ninth edition, and today we run through the top-performing disc-based releases of September 2008. Hold onto your hats, its going to be bumpy from here-on out!"

"ATC 1982: So how long after the first VP was made did you all decide it was time for a sequel?
Justin: We started work immediately. We had no idea what our next project was going to be so we started to make some changes to the game we had. When it was decided to make a sequel we just carried on working."
"From the first day Microsoft unveiled Viva Pinata as a Rare-developed Xbox 360 game and a Saturday morning cartoon, it made its intentions to expand the brand undeniably clear. Since then, Microsoft has ported the original to the PC, produced a spin-off in Viva Pinata Party Animals, and is following that up with a THQ-published DS port, Viva Pinata Pocket Party.
Now, two years later, the first proper sequel to the game has a release date. Microsoft today announced the official North Ameri..."
"Gameplay footage? Nah, you're not interested in that. Check out this wicked CGI Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise video Microsoft's just released. It erm, shows off some new Piñatas at least, we suppose.
The follow-up adds the obligatory extra critters, new environments as well as something called Piñata Vision, which lets you pop to the shops to pick up Viva Piñata trading cards, and the slap them in front of your Vision Camera to put them in your game. Sounds like an idea to make money to..."
"Perhaps Brodie Bruce put it best when he said Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned for Sega. Indeed, there is a social stigma that goes along with being a gamer that seems to be at its worst when dealing with the fairer sex. Its clear that there are female gamers out there, but unfortunately the majority of them just dont have a spot in their life for a 360. When dating, the videogame topic is one thats often avoided until absolutely necessary. Girls often turn up their noses at the th..."
