The way it's looking it seems as if the only 3 games you will need to buy this year (on the 360) are Halo 3, Mass Effect, and GTA IV.  These titles all have AAA writen all over then and in my opinion only AAA games are worth playing.

 Others look like they might have some promise such as Assassin's Creed, Lost Odyssey, Alan Wake (if it comes this year)etc.... but we will just have to wait and see.

 What am I saying?  We will have to wait in see about all of them but the top three mentioned at the top really have to f-up bad in order to not warrant a purchase.  Still sometimes developers cease to amaze me.

Why is no one giving C&C 3 a chance? The PC version got a 9 from GS. Why shouldn't the 360 version get the same?

I disagree. I am a huge sports fan, bought all the Maddens & MLB2K's, but Mass Effect is too much for this sports fan to pass up. At least I know there will be a lot more variety than in past & near future sports games. GO CHARGERS!

Strange. I also wanted to get C&C3, Burnout 5 and Forza 2. But I guess I was wrong to think those appeal to me since you said so.

Watch it getting higher.

In the previews they discribed how well the controls were done. Also, there are more missions, features and online options for the X360 version. Just watch it score higher. Mark my words.

[QUOTE="kyle_toker"] i think you need to open your eyes and play more than just AAA games

My list is a little longer than his, but in theory I agree. If it's not AAA, I don't BUY it. Now, I might play a few games via rentals, but other than that, unless I hear magnificient things, I don't really buy much else. There are so many quality looking games that end up being just not all that great, so I never reserve either. I think the last game I reserved was Halo 2.

 You sound like one of the people who follows the gamespot and oxm ratings completely, and if they give a game less than a 9.0 rating, you dont play it. Gamespot and oxm are wrong a lot, and there will be many great games coming out for the 360. You didnt even mention Half Life 2 orange box.

Overlord: Minions

And if you're gonna get an RTS game like C&C, it should be for PC not a console. I don't care well they do console controls for RTS games, IMO that genre really belongs strictly on the PC.
