Hot Summer for the 360

[Killjoy]

Better slap a 3rd party cooler on your 360, because this is going to be a hot, hot, hot summer for the popular console.

I know, I know, "Summer Gaming?" you ask. Yeah, summer gaming. For a change. It never ceases to baffle me that game companies don't release more games during the summer, you know, when kids don't have any homework to do and are sitting around the house bored all day. The movie studios long figured out that this was the time to entertain, and it looks like gaming companies are about to stumble into the same realization. And the XBox 360 looks to be the main beneficiary. Let's make a list, shall we?ImageShack

* Spiderman 3 - 5/4
* Command and Conquer 3 - 5/8
* Forza 2 - 5/15
* Shadowrun - 5/29
* Mass Effect - 6/19
* The Darkness - 6/25
* Two Worlds - 6/25
* Stranglehold - 8/1
* Blue Dragon - 8/1
* Too Human (Part 1) - 8/6
* BioShock - 8/21

As you can see, there is only one FPS, the rest are action, adventure, RPG, driving, etc.

It is very nice to see the XBox getting a more varied library. Very nice indeed.

I've had Forza payed off for many months now. That is the game I am most looking forward to getting. There are some other nice looking titles on that list though. I was part of the Shadowrun Beta and it was quite fun. Plus, it will be the first game to allow cross platform gaming between the 360 and PC.

Really, the only games on that list that I'm not really excited about are Spiderman and Blue Dragon.

EDIT: Forza is now coming out May 29th. That is about the 5th time the date got pushed back. I'll go cry now.
