May 2009 Releases

[MikeMcD]

Maybe it's just me, but May isn't exactly looking like a banner month for games on the 360.

Here's a list of what's on tap (at least in the US) in May:

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian:
Gee, a game about a movie... Who'da thunk it? The first 'Night at the Museum' was, for the most part, watchable with my 8 and 5year old daughters. But a sequel? --- and a Game? This one will be in the $10 bin before the football season kicks off.

Sacred 2: Fallen Angel:
Another RPG to console effort. We'll see...

Left 4 Dead: Game of the Year:
Not real sure what we get in the 'Game of the Year' edition, but... ok. Left 4 Dead was a good game. Given it's been out forever already... doesn't help May much though.

Battlestations Pacific:
Sequel to Battlestations Midway. I guess If you loved Midway... you're fired up..

Terminator: Salvation
Oh another movie game. Movie looks cool as all get out,but you know how that goes. Hard to get too excited about movie games isn't it? You always want to, but how often do they not disappoint? -

Bionic Commando:
The lone peach in the proverbial basket... Bionic Commando FTW. This one looks pretty damned good. The only thing on the list to this point that I'll even be remotely tempted to pick up.

Raiden Fighters Aces
A shooter... hassomething of a cult following apparently (as all shooters do). Meh.

Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock
You should all know by now that I LOOOOOVE me some rock band. Always down with new DLC... but I think I already have about half of these songs... so wtf.

UFC Undisputed:
Everybody likes UFC i think. This one may have some potential. Gets a solid, 'Might be Cool' rating and comes in right behind Bionic Commando on my personal interest list.

Damnation
FPS... Any different or remarkable in any way? I dunno... Jury's still out on this one but I'm not running out to reserve a copy or anything.

Fallout 3 Expansion Pack: Operation Anchorage & The Pitt:
I guess if you don't have Live, this is good news for you. Hardcopy of the Fallout DLC. Of course, if you don't have Live, I don't really know why you bother having an XBox...

UP: Pixar movie game adaptation. Yeah yeah yeah... woot can't wait (yawn)

FUEL:
Kind of an all terrain racing game. If you mashed FUEL up with DAMNATION you'd have a Mad Max-ish game I'd think about buying.

So there you go.... welcome to May.

Anything in the list you like?

[MrSchmo]

Nope, going to be a sour summer too.

Terminator: Salvation & Bionic Commando are the only ones I'm interested in. And those may be just rentals.

[Diesel]

Nope.
I have just bought Left 4 dead.
I might have a look at the new Fallout 3 DLC.
But apart from that, it all looks a bit crap tbh.

Oh really. How much? and should I get it?

June is awesome for games if I remember rightly. I cant remember what I was looking forward too but I was on play.com earlier checking out whats coming out next month for the very reason that may is so astronomically shit.

I got it from play.com for £24.99. But you can get it for £21 now, from here.
Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360) £20.95 - Free Delivery

And yes, i think you should get it. Its great fun.

[Citky]

All new games will cost 100$ here,so they're out of my price league

Will you be able to pickup Fallout 3+expansions in one copy?

[Andrew]

So far, this has been the worst gaming year in 360 history. If it wasn't for Gamefly, I would have gone insane from boredom.

[gogojonny13]

Maybe later on but the package described above is just the first 2 expansions.

[Lethal]

All I care about this month is UFC!!!!!!! I am going to play the shit out of that game.
