HALO 3 slated for September

[Feva]

Beat God of War 2 last night.

I can say that without a doubt... this one blows GOW 1 out of the water... and you all know how I feel about that one.

Everything from the story to the graphics to the audio to the boss battles are among the best I've ever seen.

Nice litte plot twist at the end as well.

The only negative I can really put on it is the ending... seemed pretty anti-climactic but it's because it's obviously leading into a 3rd game (which is the 3rd and final part of the story).

Absolutely incredible game.  SERIOUS contender for Game of the Year.  The thing that will work against it is that it came out in the beginning of the year (so there's time to forget) while all the next gen titles will hit later on this year.

God of War 2 - 10 out of 10.

I need to get back into GoW2. I stopped a few days ago and never popped it back in.

Devil May Cry and Ace Combat 6 just announced today to be exclusive for the 360.  Ace Combat is the shtein

Devil May Cry series is pretty awesome too. Although, one is already in the making or is out for PS3 now. Doesn't make much sense how its exclusive for 360...you sure about that?

[The BIGSTUD]

DMC is already in the works for PS3. Not sure about Ace Combat.

[Seabiscuit36]

Its DMC 4 that would be exclusive, both are in Game Informer but i cant view those sites here at work.  I generally read The AVS Xbox Area  Supposedly they are attempting to get Metal Gear Solid and FF to be exclusive as well. 

Ace Combat Set for 360
Another series switches sides.
by IGN Staff

March 20, 2007 - As if yesterday's news of Devil May Cry's defection from the Sony exclusivity camp didn't put enough mega in the ton, word has reached us of another big PlayStation franchise that's making its way to the 360. This week's Famitsu is home to first details and screens for Ace Combat 6. That's right, following Ridge Racer 6's 360 debut back in 2005, Bandai Namco has decided to bring another "6" to the 360. Will Tekken be next?

The full name of this latest entry in Japan's most popular console flight game is Ace Combat 6: Kaiho e no Senbi. Ace Combat 04 director Hiroyuki Ichiyanagi is serving as the game's producer, with Ace Combat 04 planner and Ace Combat 5 main planner Natsuki Isaki taking on directorial responsibilities.

Outside of the obvious improvement in visual quality that one would expect from the jump into the next generation, Ace Combat 6 will feature a few new gameplay systems. The biggest new inclusion appears to be the Dynamic Mission system, which allows for dynamically changing, large scale battles. During missions, you fight alongside a number of ally pilots and squads whom you can send them off to perform separate tasks. Success in some of these mini-missions may be required in order to clear a stage, but this isn't always the case. As you clear tasks, new ones will present themselves, expanding the battle in new ways. The game supports up to six tasks simultaneously.

Also on tap for Ace Combat 6 are some options for the beginner pilots out there. The game includes options for a simplified control scheme, as well as settings that keep you flying even if you manage to crash your plane into the ground.

Xbox Live support will also play a big part in the game -- not surprising, considering how great the online play in Ridge Racer 6 turned out. We can look forward to online battle royal and team battle. Or, if everyone is feeling friendly, a cooperative play option lets all human players group together to take on a powerful enemy force. We don't have specifics just yet on how many players the game will support simultaneously.

Bandai Namco is also including a ranking mode, and even has plans for downloads. The downloads will actually be kicking off well before the game's release. On Friday, the marketplace will take delivery of themes and icons, which we'd suggest you download immediately to show off your excitement of more "6" games coming to the Xbox 360.

Ace Combat 6 hits the Japanese Xbox 360 later this year. There's no word in Famitsu on a PS3 version, so for now, we're going to assume this is a 360 exclusive.

If Metal Gear and FF went to 360 exclusivley the PS3 would be just about dead.
