Talk:List of Xbox 360 games

Page is wrong / out of date

This page differs from the games shown in Category:Xbox_360_games, eg After Burner game is missing. --Oscarthecat 18:46, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

The whole page is bogus. Almost all of the listed games do not exist. --JWSchmidt 03:17, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

I know. There should be a "policy" like at the Revolution list where you have to give ext. links to aticles that list them. Thunderbrand 14:52, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

It should specify which games are on stores already, and which games are coming.--MarioV 20:25, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

New list

Please can someone make a list of games released. Or divide the current list into released & announced. What's the point of having future games on this list, if they are not out yet, that should be on another article. --MarioV 00:10, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

This list is totally useless junk, it needs to be fixed badly

This list has no point. The information inside is all mixed together. There should be at least 2 separate lists, 1 list for games that are already out and available to purchase, and a list for games that are not available. The average person wants to see a list of stuff that they can go to the store and buy TODAY, not stuff that's coming out in a year and a half. Only nerds care about games that aren't not out yet. 208.103.185.30 16:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Rework

I am reworking this whole page into a table format to make it look neater and with more information. I have A-C so far but I am taking a break and will hopefully finish the rest tomorrow. --Silver Sonic Shadow 08:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

The re-work is now complete. Hopefully this will address the needs of various individuals. The new table format serves two additional purposes:

1) Provides references/links for games, in an effort to provide at least some external source where the game has been listed or announced for the Xbox 360. This helps to remove games which are only rumored.

2) Indicates release dates, so individuals will be able to tell games which are out versus games which are not out yet. Furthermore, flag icons attempt to indicate games which are only available overseas.

-- Slordak 19:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Note that while external links are great for redlinks... games that already have an article should already address verifiability in that article (eg. otherwise, we might have to litter external links around every time one of these games are linked from other pages too). I'm reluctant to quickly remove them from all bluelinks though, because it would be good to check that each article is already minimally referenced, and if one isn't, then the link here should be moved to that article. --Interiot 20:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Minor Updates and Adjustments

I made some minor updates in regards to whether or not games were exclusive to the Xbox 360. There were several games that seemed to be listed as being either exclusive or not exclusive; I fixed those minor things. I also added some new games to the list of Xbox 360 games to be released in the future; I included the names of the developer and/or publisher organizations. For example, I added NBA Live 07 to the list of games, and I made it clear that EA Sports was the developer/publisher of the game. Thanks for your time. -- mike_mgoblue

Prey 2 for the Xbox 360

I found out today that Prey 2 would be released for the Xbox 360. No other game consoles were mentioned in the article, and neither was the PC. Only the Xbox 360 was mentioned.

Golden Axe

The Golden Axe link links directly to the old Arcade version. Shouldn't there be a "Golden Axe(360 version)" link or something, due to it being a remake? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.113.148.27 (talk) 13:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC).

New Table Format?

Over at the List of Wii games article last week we converted to a new sortable table format. The List of PlayStation 3 games article liked it so much, they are following suit. The sortable table is much nicer for keeping track of release dates in different regions as well as what various developers and publishers are doing. Someone who is more involved in this article might want to look into switching to the same table format. To some extent, it would be nice to have a level of consistency across the next gen systems. -Telvin 3d 02:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I just converted the 26 tables into a single SorTable per a request on slashdot, but it's still missing exclusivity data. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 21:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I've added the exclusive section, plus created a section for canceled games. Telvin, as you may have expected, the 360 has thus far the most exclusives of any 7th gen console thanks to its year start. The Wii says hello. -Digiwrld1 07:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

games to add

i figured that if we put a list of games that have not been added then if someone could put them up then delete them then it would make adding new games simpler especially if you know of a game but are unshore how to add them thanks : Kobol 18:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Exclusive?!

This is a list of Xbox 360 games. When you say exclusive, it means exclusive to the 360. If it's scheduled for another system, INCLUDING the PC, it is not exclusive and should not be listed. I took out some ones which were lamely commented with "Yes! It's MS exclusive!" which I know aren't 360 only--Alan Wake, Command and Conquer 3, Bioshock and Oblivion. The PC and the 360 are as different as, say, the PS3 and the PSP as far as this list is concerned--sure they're both influenced by the same company, but that's not what people care about. They care about whether it's out for that system and only that system. I know you guys want to beef up the list of exclusive things, but this "MS exclusive, therefore 360 exclusive" stuff can't be allowed to happen :/ -Twile

This is area of debate, but over at the List of Wii games so far the definition of exclusivity is that the game has not been released on any other home system. PCs, Consoles, and Handhelds are viewed as separate planes. Thus if a game comes out for both the 360 and PC, or Wii and DS, it is still exclusive to that console. PCs, Consoles, and Handheld systems are different enough in terms of features, intended audience, and games to be considered separate entities from each other. Although I do see your point as well as to people wanting it to mean it is on just one system overall. Thing is though, for some games even if they have been released on both PC and the 360, it's still regarded as exclusive to the Xbox or Xbox 360; i.e. Halo, Halo 2, most likely Gears of War, Halo 3 someday. Additionally, when I look at an exclusive column for a console and it says 'No', I assume that it has been ported to the PS3 or the Wii, not that it's available on the PC as well. Again, I do see your point as well, and I agree to it, sort of. Just wanted to bring up some opposing points which I felt were relevant. I feel that additional discussion is needed on this matter, but until then I will (weakly) support your opinion. -Digiwrld1 05:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I think that separating PCs, consoles, and handhelds into their own planes is a very silly idea. Nintendo is promoting the idea of interoperability between the Wii and DS, Sony does it with the PS3 and PSP, Microsoft is doing it with the PC and Xbox 360 to the point where you can play against other people on both platforms. Target audience and such is also a moot point--the PS3 audience is a good bit different from the Wii audience, and I'd wager that the Xbox 360 audience is much closer to the PC audience than the Wii vs PS3 difference. Here's what I think the best test is. Go up to a gamer who knows a good bit about games from the past few years. Ask of Oblivion is an Xbox 360 exclusive. Or ask if Halo is an Xbox exclusive. If you ask any of my friends, they'll say "Ummm, no, those both came out on PC. Though Halo took a while to make it there" or something to that effect. As average people understand it, they are not exclusive to that one platform. --Twile 04:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes, thanks for agreeing with me. Not trying to argue against you, just trying to reinforce the opinions I gave before. --Twile 04:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

The article is a list of Xbox 360 games, I do not see the word "exclusive" anywhere in the title. One can weed the lists to make it two sets on the page, one set being "exclusive" the other being multi platform, but for people looking for what all games can be played on Xbox 360- a single article/list compilation should be done. If list of Wii games is faulty it does not mean that we replicate it's faults on Xbox too. Haphar 16:27, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

The point isn't to create a separate list of titles exclusive to the 360 and another for those titles that are multiplatform. The concept is to establish an easy way for users to see whether a game is exclusive to the system or not. Additionally, it helps unify the three seventh generation consoles under a united format, something that hasn't been done before. Although the 360 doesn't use the exact same format as the List of Wii games and the List of Playstation 3 games, sortable tables and and exclusive column are the standard features. Furthermore, do not claim that the List of Wii games is faulty without looking at it. We've worked extremely hard on that article to present users with an organized, informative, and usable list of games. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.181.225.103 (talk) 03:28, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

Errrrr...perhaps you shouldn't comment if you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not SAYING this is supposed to be a list of EXCLUSIVE titles. I'm saying that it has an exclusive column which indicates whether they're exclusive to the Xbox 360 or not. Why this is important, I don't really know, but it is there and I feel it should be accurate. My issue is that exclusivity in this case seems to mean between consoles, whereas I think many readers would see the list and go "Oh, Alan Wake is only for the Xbox 360? I thought it was coming out for the PC... Bioshock too. Maybe I should get a 360 then." They see exclusive, they assume it means the only place you can get it. --Twile 04:21, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Twile I wasn't arguing against you, I was making the statement against Haphar. I mentioned before that I understand your point, and in fact I went through the list and edited it so that the games that are out for the 360 only are listed under exclusive. Perhaps I may have missed something, and I'd appreciate it if you could amend it. As of right now hitting the sort column I do believe that the games listed as exclusives actually are exclusives, no exceptions. I'm sorry if I caused you some confusion, just wanted to let you know that I wasn't trying to refute your points or anything. Hopefully everything is satisfactory here--perhaps someone with more knowledge of 360 games can find out the exclusivity of those games which are not yet classified? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.181.225.103 (talk) 09:22, 23 March 2007 (UTC).

Um, I'm not disagreeing with you. Look closer. See, we both indented twice. If I were replying to you I'd indent three times as you did when replying to me. I too was making a statement to Haphar. --Twile 13:27, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

UEFA Champions League 2006-2007

Hi I added this game but someone deleted it (thanks editors). Isn't the point of Wikipedia to be up to date? You guys have games that are to be released next year but can't put a game that has already been released? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 171.161.160.10 (talk) 16:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

10 games M I S S I N G ... o.m.g ...

• Virtua Tennis 3 - has been released. Not TBA.

I don't want to add them as this place run's by some strange people who deletes evrething they haven't added. So go ahead and add your self.

I suspect that some of the previous editing attempts have been somewhat half-hearted, without filling in the full information. When folks add unreleased games without sources/references, or when they add valid titles but don't add all the data, these tend to get reverted. In any case, I have gone ahead and done most of the requested updates, although do bear in mind that some of the confusion is stemming from the US vs. European games having different names. Note also that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game is titled "TMNT" and was already on the list. -- Slordak 16:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Well maybe I was wrong about 1 game, but 9 games wasnt on the list. Just trying to keep this list updated. I also think it would be nice to mark if games are playable on the NTSC and or on PAL systems as it can help many people to save some cash on buying games. List needs also to be some how sorted on released and not released games as today it provides almost no use full information. Gcardinal 22:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
