Where are the adventure games? I mean come on theres just way to many shooters, it's across the board top to bottom.This console is seriously lacking variety.No fighting games either I mean come on, Almost "every' anticipated title is a shooter(fact).How in hell can the 360 be the top of the the consoles in the future with these titles.This system is seriously starting to be a disapointment for me.Been a big fan for xbox since 2001 but come on Microsoft dont let people down and support variety that will be key to winning a fans heart like myself.Yes this is QQ but im just being honest and if they keep this up Im more then likely gonna disowned the 360.

Look at the ratio between good variety games to shooters, there's a big difference guys.Lack of innovation is ruining the gaming business.Sad part is the young have to grow up with these games.

all the guys/girls sitting around at home jobless that have the fresh new original ideas for games are the ones who should be hired.  Everything made these days is all rehashed bullsh*t to make more money.

i smell a troll. look my man you said you were a fan of xbox since 2001, anyone that has had an xbox that long knows xbox is a shooter system. japan loves adventure, americans love shooters. buy the way, lost odyssey, mass effect, fable 2, last remnant, assassin's creed, blue dragon, too human just to name a few that will be out in the next year.

As much as we would love that, it all comes down to money.  If we have millions of dollars to get a company started then more power to us.  Majority of them will go down the road of getting employed at a company that already exsists.  In the end you create for the love of art rather than liking the project or not.  

Today we see the same type of shooters coming out on the 360, same type of racing games, same type of adventure games.  Biggest problem is taking risks and the big dog companies have admitted the fact that they rather work on sequels than take risks with new ideas.  Sad Sad Sad indeed.  There are two markets for gamers, those that love the same type of gameplay and those that love new quirky titles.  50/50 chance at the money.

it's only his opinion, you gave him attention by responding so he's responding back with another opinion.  If you don't care, then don't repond, it's not that hard.

How can you say they failed you when you should have forseen this problem from the very start.  XBOX was the same way, so I don't know why you are so suprised.  By the way FABLE 2, Two Worlds, Blue Dragon, Assasin's Creed, and the square enix game are all coming up.

 I will agree Mass Effect has their ideas going for them.  RPG/Action.  The rest of those are worth mentioning because they look so great but it's nothing we haven't played back in the days....with now just upgraded graphics.

1. You're looking for a platformer, not an adventure game. THOSE died in the 90's

2. If you want inovation, go buy a Wii (Mario Galaxy). That's full of inovation. Keep the Xbox for everything else. Yes Microsoft (and other third parties close to Xbox) lack inovation, but they are still fun

well none of this will really change anything.  gamers will eventually find whatever interests them.  i guess overall all the developers should start consider trying something new for a change and put their lame mediocre ideas aside for once. -my 2 cents, over and out.

Good point but if I was to link xbox tiles then link xbox 360 titles you will then tell me that the console is still new.Majority of the games you people are posting will most likely never live it up to expectations bad enough live up to recent titles in the past.Lets face it people who bought Wii not only purchased it cause it was in the eye of the storm but rather many wanted to live the glorly days of good old fun and fresh creative ideas, so parents dont have problems with they children purchasing it cause they grew up on it as well. Im big for microsoft and gaming has been my life but shooters just not cutting the bread anymore theres just to many of them.Lol I may even go back to pc gaming and world of warcraft it up.But I respect alot of you guys points and this topic is getting interesting because many gamers and young gamers should see these arguements.

Banjo 3 by Rare could be a decent adventure game. Adventure is such a broad term and a difficult genre to find a classic, these days.

It has plenty of good games besides shooters. I'm actually TRYING to find a good FPS I haven't played for the 360. It seems like R6V is the only one. But aside from that, I've played one of the best RPGs on the 360, which is oblivion. I wouldn't have been able to play it on my pc, since it's out of date.

Kameo, Viva Pinata, Oblivion, Bionicle, Enchanted Arms, Ninety Nine Nights, Sonic, King Kong, Phantasy Star Universe, Tomb Raider: Legend...

The list goes on and on - there are plenty of non-shooters on the 360 and the list above is definitely not all of them.

As far as the Tekken 5 thought goes, i think you're thinking of Virtua Fighter 5. Namco has always been pretty loyal to Sony, and i doubt that Sony would let THAT exclusive get away from them, too. Although, after the DMC4 debacle, who knows? That's an entirely different debate, though.

 Microsoft is definitely geared towards a more adult and hardcore audience, though, so if you wanted anything other than stuff aimed towards those audiences, you might have made your mistake right when you bought the 360.  Adventure games don't sell as well as shooters, its a fact. Or at least, most of them don't. :D

How can adventure games sell more then shooters today when theres a huge gap in ratio between adventures development and shooters development.Companies tend to dont make adventures due to difficulty of creating creativity rather then the same old gun on the screen and different tweaks for gameplay mechanics.Statistics shows that gearing towards hardcore audience dont make majority of sells in the game business, fact.I do respect your point though bud.
