Test drive unlimited looks good.

360 Vision looks great, it is the camera for the xbox which should give video chat and gesture recognition. You need 2 cameras for the gesture parts but it can recognise in 3D!!!!

Test Drive Unlimited for me most probably..

Although I've just downloaded Bankshot Billiards and am becoming rather addicted!

halo 3.
Test drive unlimited. Even if pgr3 is better it's still just another driving game to play about on. Plus i'm a big fan of free roaming so being able to drive around 1000 miles of hawaii is pretty good.

Possibly Gears of War. As i've heard it will be amazing but i'll await until i've seen more on it.

Halo 3 won't be out til next year, Forza 2 however will be out this year, whether it will be more of the same bland guff from last time remains to be seen.

funny that,
I thought testdrive looked unimaginative but absolutely loved forza on the old xbox.
Infact, if it wasn't for oblivion i would have forgotten all about my 360 by now. Hope they get some REAL next gen games out soon.
Hmm, maybe a bit harsh that, it's just that very few games seem to hold my interest for that long apart from the likes of marriage wrecking GTA ( series ) and personality altering oblivion. Haven't even played pgr for 3 months!
Best driving game i ever played was gran turismo 2, give me a mix of that and forza and i'll be happy
Oh yeah ninja Gaiden was good as was full spectrum warrior.

Don't get me wrong, Forza was good, but when you've got the Gran Turismo games to compare it to it kinda looked a little flat. TD:U has a lot of promise but I can't see it being the multiplayer utopia they've envisioned as I think most folk's network connections won't be able to cope with the huge numbers of other players they are talking about.

I must say I'm "impressed" by the smoke rising upwards from the damage (see 2:40 to 3:20 for an example). Someone hasn't thought that one through, have they?

Legacy does look good doesn't it? Ok smoke rising and stuff but hey it's only a computer game.
I think I'll snag a copy of that as it's out on PC as well.

A bit of a threadjack but is their anyway I can get my mits on a 360? Like say renting at blockbusters or something.... I'd rather like to see what all the fuss is about and screenshots don't impress me much.

Your right there thats a bit of a cock up.

Realisticly this game would have to be silent anyways because of course in space there is no air, and sound travels through air!

Other than that this game looks fab and i will be getting a 360 copy on day of release.

I think you can rent a 360 from Blockbuster, the 1st wave of 360 games weren't visually that much more impressive than the classic XBOX, but the second wave is coming and as we can see from Legacy its looking good.
