There are no Xbox 360 launch titles that I'd buy the system to play
Don't get me wrong, I am buying the system the day it comes out. I have a lot of family in town that week with Thanksgiving and my youngest son's baptism. And I'm taking the week off from work. So, I figured what better to do on a week off than play a brand new console.
And I'll have fun. I'm sure I'll enjoy Project Gotham Racing 3 quite a bit. There will probably be some other good games. I'll buy about 20, or whatever is available the first day, just to make sure I have something worth playing.
But, to be perfectly honest, there is nothing coming out on launch day that I would buy the system just to play. I know that MS, and other losers, spin that launch titles are the whole first year. If so, than Oblivion and Gears of War look pretty good. If there's a Halo 3, awesome. But I am not buying a $400 system, to play Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo Elements of Power. In fact, if they weren't bundled with the system I wouldn't buy them at all.
Of course, I've bought and enjoyed other games that I didn't think I would. For example, I didn't bother picking up Halo until it was out for a couple of years. The cover art was just so lame. And the title was so generic. I thought why would I want to buy a game with goofy graphics and a non-descript title. Of course, I was wrong on both accounts. And, even if I'd been right, the gameplay would've been worth it.
So, I'm probably wrong about Xbox 360 as well. So, someone please educate me. What will I want to play on Xbox 360 the day it comes out? And, perhaps more importantly, what will everyone be playing on Live that night?
