Microsoft's recent announcement that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will launch on November 14 means that every game in Microsoft's first-party 2008 line-up has finally been given a solid release date. No more guessing!
And that means that, unless any of the following games bow down to some unexpected slippage, 360 gamers can start their saving their pennies and figuring out how they're going to juggle multi-card payments to mum and dad until Christmas brings them some much needed cash. You're looking at buying a game a month. Credit crunch? My arse...
Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise - Microsoft has dated Rare's family friendly follow-up with September 5. Loads more Viva action to be found here.
Gears Of War 2 - Epic's Cliffy B revealed at E3 that a November 7 release date has been pinned down for the shooter. More Gears than is probably good for you here.
Fable II - The game will ship to US retailers on Oct. 21 while we have to wait an extra few days for Oct. 24. Release dates throughout the rest of the world are expected "in the coming months". Take a look at some movies here.
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Hot off the press, it's been dated for November 14. Hit this link for some crazy pre-order plans.
Too Human - Silicon Knights' long-awaited bruiser (out in the US today) will be out in Europe on August 29. It's already causing quite a stir across the internet. Read the review here.
As a side note we should point out that Lips is down for 'holiday 2008' and Halo Wars has slipped into 2009. But there's also a new dashboard to look out for this autumn that'll do fancy Nintendo-like things.
Christmas on 360 is looking good then. Can't believe we're already talking about it though...
Very good. I'm not really sure what the point of this story is but I've already preordered Fable 2, GOW2 and Banjo. If they had slipped by a few months I wouldn't really be that bothered.
i've already paid my Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 reservations in full. i don't really care much for anything else on Microsoft's first-party list...well, i guess Banjo doesn't look too bad. still, i probably won't bother with it.
Can't wait for both Gears and Viva... Zero interest in Too Human, I'm not convinced that Fable 2 won't be a bore-fest and Banjo still seems like they've killed it to me, though I'd like to give at least a demo a go. I'd say I'm looking forward to the original Banjo rerelease more then N&B to be honest.

I think Fable 2 could be game of the year, well I hope so.

I was hoping that would go to Fallout 3.
man do you do nothing else other than post on this forum? maybe you're just a kudos whore.
go and read the other posts.. especially the Xbox360 outselling PS3 in Japan to see what I mean. Plus we had both made two comments each until I replied to him.
RROD, whilst playing Pacifism on GW2. I was on my way to a huge score as well. BAR STEWARD!
Still, only 2nd time since launch so I may have been lucky.
I suppose I wont be buying Too Human then.
New console for Gears, Fable and Banjo though so I suppose every cloud and all that.
Does anyone know what model we get here in the UK? I had a look online and it says you want a Falcon model, I dont know anyone whose been RROD in a while so Im not too sure myself.

Yes you are I'm on number 4. My bro whose was bought roughly same time as mine hasn't had one grrrrrr. Might have to pay him a visit with an open drink
Games for Xbox 360 worth renting Gears of War 2 i might get Fable 2. Viva Pinata looks like a wannabe kid game not gonna bother with that garbage like Banjo another bad looking game. Microsoft needs better games they should try investing in ideas instead of buying timed exclusives.

Gears of War 2, Banjo and Fable 2 are console exclusives, so the PC will get them but not the PS3 and that's what counts Microsoft. Please stop posting dumbass comments. Thanks.
Anyway, I will be getting Gears of War 2, Banjo and Fable 2. I won't be getting Viva Pinata because it's just an expansion pack and I've got the original.
Little Moth: Your point is? Gears of War 2 and Fable 2 will eventually be on PC. PS3 doesn't need any of those mediocre games we already getting Resistance 2 Killzone 2 God of War III inFamous SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Confrontation MAG And many more PS3 has a masive list of exclsuives while Xbox 360 only has like 5 and maybe 1 worth buying. http://home.earthlink.net/~ivan-playstation/

Who cares what each console is getting!! Personally i'll be putting Far cry 2, Fallout 3, GoW2 and Fable 2 on my xmas shopping list for the 360 this year, with Resistence 2, and Socom on the PS3 so it's all good people.

Are you the new Suivaloom?
I think he's the old Suivaloom. Or the old Lord PS3. Or the alter-ego of K109.
I swear it must be one person with different user names...because there can't be that many people who are intensely stupid, yet have somehow worked out how to log onto a PC.

Nice to see that after a 2+ week break from the forums that absolutely NOTHING changes... Still get the same moronic people blindly following one corporation or another. Didn't Suivaloom leave for a more Playstation friendly site anyway?
On the plus side, Hawai'i (and San Fran) were awesome.

How many of those so-so exclusives are out this year? By the time the rest get released the 360 will have more games announced to compete with them. The 360 tends to focus on games that are actally being released not just hinted at with "just you wait" tacked on the end.
Offtopic: As much as I enjoyed the original Socom's I'm not convinced about the 3rd installment, graphically it isn't impressive and Ghost Recon looks much better in gameplay terms.
Ontopic: Looking forward to Fable 2 a lot, I'll probably pick up Gears 2 later.

Welcome back.....
Yeah, Suivaloom left for gametrailers - but, decided that we must be missing him (either that or he got just as much hassle there).
You've missed out on some interesting threads though - great ones include 'Sony Exec Says '360 Smells Like Wee' and 'Microsofts' Dad Harder Than Sonys'
Lionhead, especially Molyneux, do like to make big promises that they usually can't back up. But taking them with a pinch of salt I've never been disappointed.

Damn I thought I got away with it.
I'm on holiday not going anywhere so have way too much spare time on my hands. Hence writng my nonsense on here in response to everyone elses nonsense.

Those might seem crap to you, but they do not to me, so I'm happy.
And only somebody as deluded as you would call Fable 2 mediocre compared to something like Killzone 2. I mean what even makes you think that Killzone 2 is going to be a good game? The graphics? Graphics do not make a good game. Plus it's not like Killzone 2 is following some thing actually good like Halo: Combat Evolved, it's following the mediocre Killzone.

Didn't I read those before I left? Though it does appear to be the done thing - reprinting contraversial stories...

Ivan_PSP, when you say 'PS3 doesn't need any of those mediocre games we already getting..' and proceed to list a bunch of games, do you mean your already getting enough mediocre games on the PS3 or am I misreading that sentence? By the way looking forward to Fable 2, GOW 2, Motorstorm 2, Spore, Fallout 3. Well, what are going to hopefully be great games in general really, not bottomd what format their on.

There's only actually one AAA game on that list, God of War III, if it's anything like the other's. The other games you listed are wank and you missed off PS3 biggest title of the year, Litte Big Planet.

Ooooh - and it would appear that Vercetti102 has re-appeared under the name k109....pretty sure it is him, all I'm waiting for is him to say the word 'pish' in one of his ridiculously angry posts and we've caught him out!
Very good. I'm not really sure what the point of this story is but I've already preordered Fable 2, GOW2 and Banjo. If they had slipped by a few months I wouldn't really be that bothered.
voodoo341 its great to see that your keeping a-breast of the situation - lol
now banjo i will be buying - fable 2 i would like to play a demo
but Call of duty world at war will be a massive hit so cant wait for that one and also the new bond game due november i am hopeing will be really good.
and just seen the tesser trailers for the new need for speed game, which is looking very interesting.

What are you talking about? Why would you waste your money on Bond, Need for Speed and a COD game that's not even being made by Infinity Ward when games like Gears of War 2, Banjo Kazooie, Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 are coming out so soon. Get them instead man.
Edit: And buying Need for Speed would just give the evil EA more money.
