E3 On Xbox Live Leads With Lost Planet 28
Next week all 360 owners can look forward to a free week of Xbox Live 'Gold service'. During the E3 events, dozens of pieces of downloadable content will be available via the service. Gamespot reports that this content will include a demo of the Capcom action-shooter Lost Planet. From the article: "One of the most anticipated titles tentatively set to ship for the 360 this year is Epic Games' Gears of War. While no demo for the third-person shooter will be made available, Microsoft will 'debut the first-ever Gears of War high-definition game trailer' on Xbox Live Marketplace. Several movie trailers will also be made available, as well as 'a flood of HD trailers from games that have yet to be announced.'"

In fact they've been giving away a bunch of free weekends, so it seems... Doesn't this devalue the service for paying members?

Remember Nintendo got Metroid Prime (1 and 2), Resident Evil (0,remake, and 4), Eternal Darkness and many other 'Mature' games made for the Gamecube but was still maintained their steriotype. The fact that Halo 3 (which wont be released until summer 2007 at the earliest) will recieve 100 times the attention at E3 that Viva Pinata will demonstrates a serious problem; if Nintendo or Sony have a couple of their big games displayed (Zelda/Mario/Donkey Kong/Met

Maybe once the price comes down, sure, but I think for right now it's the same idea behind releasing Phantom of the Opera as an HD-DVD launch title.

And what would you consider to be a "casual gamer title"? Because by my definition there are plenty of those as well. I personally don't even like shooters, and I loathe the Halo series. Even

I'd also like to add in that Rumble Roses is an exclusive, and several others have been announced like Enchanted Arms (already released in Japan), Lost Odyssey, and Blue Dragon.. all Japanese RPGs.

If you want to be really technical, you could classify FN3 as a sports title.
Outpost Kolaki is a simple RTS-like game.
GRAW belongs in the list of shooters (and is in my opinion one of the best titles released so far this year).
Your summary also dropped several titles from the list, including Oblivion and Kameo.
While you are free to have you own opinion, Condemned is technically clas
