Xbox 360 Games You Won't Want to Miss

July 21, 2007 in News comments 17

Switched came up with a few Xbox 360 titles that you don't want to miss when they come out. Three actually caught their attention at the E3 conference. Fable 2, which isn't due until 2008, Halo 3, the third and possibly last title in the Halo saga which is set for a September release and lastly, Mass Effect, Bioware's upcoming hit.

The fact that this year's E3 video game conference was supposed to be a lower-budget affair than years past was a point seemingly lost on Microsoft, which rented out an entire (big, nice, fancy, expensive) hotel in Santa Monica to show off its wares. While the entire lineup consisted of more than a dozen titles spanning both Xbox 360 and PC, three in particular caught our eye: 'Fable 2,' 'Mass Effect' and 'Halo 3.'

'Fable 2'
The earliest along of the lot was 'Fable 2,' from gaming legend Peter Molyneux and his team at Lionhead Studios.

'Halo 3'
The third and (supposedly) final chapter in the Halo saga is almost finished, set to hit the streets this September.

'Mass Effect'
One of the more notable showings at all of this year's E3, Bioware's 'Mass Effect' looks to elevate the company's tried-and-true formula to new heights.

    I can miss Halo 3, maybe even Fable 2, but Mass Effect is definately on my to-get list.

    Mass Effect looked awesome. I can pass on Halo 3 and Fable 2 though.

    halo 3 = not worth 400$ (for system)
    fable 2 = not worth 60$
    Mass effect+ WTF did you come from? J/K not a good enough reason to get a 360 I'm afraid.

    This coming holiday alone is worth the $400 for an X360.

    Hmm non of those interest me, though halo was good last gen this one doesn't sound great, especially since its alot of money.

    Hmm but the ps3 has some great games coming out, and who knows the 80GB could be $499

    Even though Fable 2 and Halo 3 are coming, I'd settle with Wii.

    Only 3 games ?!?!
    I would like to play Fable 2 and Halo 3, but I wouldn't buy a new system solely for them - neither of them are dead favourites in my eyes ...

    If those are the best that they can think of ...

      care to elaborate?

      only three games is right. If 40 games were so great, wouldn't they mention more?

        Please, sten, point out what games come out for PS3 this year that make $500 and $600 well spent on PS3? So far, PS3 has absolutely nothing like that.

    Looking forward to having a go on Mass Effect and Halo 3, not a fan of Fable myself.

    Sten, watch Microsoft's press conference for all the games Mr. PeeMoore covered.
