TechFreak at 11:44am 6th October 2005 Hahah Forum Ghost. Elder Scrolls does look pretty tight actually, but when it actually going to be available?
Forum Ghost at 11:33am 6th October 2005 whatever your fetish is the fact remains that elder scrolls oblivion IV will rock the world so stop whiniging about Gears of war
Ian Bell and Dan Gaul at 9:50am 6th October 2005 I heard that even though MS is pushing Gears of War all over the place, that game is not slated till a late Q1 2006 release. What bums me is that there are like 5-6 car racing games that will be out later this year for the Xbox 360. I have never been into racing games, so that doesn't leave me with many choices.
fungku at 9:35am 6th October 2005 I'm excited to see what the xbox360 can do with the graphics and sound, but I'm not betting that the first titles will be taking full advantage of the system.

Perfect Dark looks OK, but not stunning.
Gears of War screenshots look cool, but they look like they are from the in-game movies.
Need For Speed looks awesome though (and fun)
