New on Xbox This Xmas
by Beauty
Maxpower and I had the opportunity to preview some great Xbox games that are being released this holiday season ? look for more info and previews in the forums over the month of September, we will be releasing exclusive mini-reviews throughout the month. However, there are many games being released between September and December that weren't discussed in our other articles.
If you're anticipating a game that wasn't mentioned, or if you just want to skim through the other titles being released, we?ve gathered all the information you?ll need right here. We tried to collect the Canadian specs when they were available, but sometimes had to use American data. It really only matters when you?re looking at the price and the release date. We triple checked the numbers before this article went to press, but some of the information may have changed slightly. By the way, there are two games I would have loved to include on this list, but the press kits were too skimpy on information to make it worthwhile. They are Prince of Persia 2, and Tom Clancy?s Splinter Cell Chaos Theory.
