The Xbox 360's launch day lineup
According to TeamXbox, this is the "the strongest launch lineup in the history of video game consoles is announced...". Bias much? Anywhoo, the Xbox 360 launch day lineup looks pretty good in a "18 is better than 5" sense but how will these games stack up? I've heard the King Kong demo was pretty nice but since my local WalMart got bad demo disks, my fellow Colorado Springers and I never got a chance to see the hardware in some serious action. Call of Duty 2 looked nice (it also looked more like a glorified Xbox game) but I'm not frothing at the mouth, hoping to score a place in line on the 21st. For now (or until Halo 3), I'll wait for some price drops. Here's the full list, corny one-line descriptions and all:
