Xbox 360 Launch - Launch Titles

Microsoft finally revealed the full launch lineup for Xbox 360. Some games are already appearing in stores:

• Amped 3 (2K Sports)
  
• Call of Duty 2 (Activision)
  
• Condemned: Criminal Origins (SEGA)
  
• FIFA Soccer 06 (EA)
  
• GUN (Activision)
  
• Kameo: Elements of Power (Microsoft)
  
• Madden NFL 06 (EA)
  
• NBA 2K6 (2K Sports)
  
• NBA LIVE 06 (EA)
  
• Need for Speed: Most Wanted (EA)
  
• NHL 2K6 (2K Sports)
  
• Perfect Dark Zero (Microsoft)
  
• Peter Jackson's King Kong (Ubisoft)
  
• Project Gotham Racing 3 (Microsoft)
  
• Quake 4 (Activision)
  
• Ridge Racer 6 (Namco)
  
• Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 (EA)
  
• Tony Hawk's American Wasteland (Activision)

That's 18 titles in all, not counting the Xbox Live Arcade games - including Hexic, bundled for free on the hard drive - and any from the 207 original Xbox emulation titles you might want to play. The good news is that Perfect Dark and Project Gotham Racing didn't slip, as rumored. The bad? Two important genres went south when Dead or Alive 4 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion were delayed. And, what's really sad is that these genres - RPG and fighter - aren't well represented by the Xbox emulation list at launch...
