Xbox 360 - Image 1In an effort to remind Xbox 360 users that - yes - they have some great games coming their way, Microsoft issued a press release outlining some of the games included in their line-up for the second half of 2008.

The games mentioned in the press release include Gears of War 2, which will be released sometime on November, next month's Ninja Gaiden 2, and Too Human, which will be released on August 29.

Microsoft also showcased the new things thrown into Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, which include a hundred new species of Pinata, the ability to take and post screenshots of the game into the web, as well as make use of the Xbox Live Vision Camera to scan accompanying trading cards for pinata, tools, and even buildings.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts was also mentioned as one of the front-runners in the latter half of 2007 by mentioning one of its foremost features, which is the ability to build vehicles. Finally, Lionhead Studio's much-awaited Fable 2 and Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness were tagged as the games for those who want a twist on their RPG games.

Will this gaming line-up hold up to most fan's expectations? Only time will tell.

Gears of war 2 is probably the game that I'm looking forward to there. MS should be going after lucasarts to get sam and max ep1 available via xblive arcade. wii has got it why not 360?

They need to stop with the *****ty games (not gears of war nor COD4) and into better games. *****ing Developer's are lazy to make a good game.
