 A whole bunch of titles have been unveiled at X06. We reported on one of these titles earlier today, but now we can give you details on the rest.
  • First up, we have news that Peter Jackson will be collaborating with Microsoft Game Studios on two series. The first series will be the next game in the Halo franchise. The other series will be an original, as yet unnamed title.
  • Rockstar are giving gamers the opportunity to download new episodic content for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto IV. This content will apparently be avaliable only 'months after the release of the title'.
  • Ubisoft confirmed that the next game in the Splinter Cell series after Splinter Cell: Double Agent will be an Xbox 360 exclusive title.
  • Continuing on with console exclusivity, 2K Games confirmed that its upcoming first person shooter 'BioShock' would be an Xbox 360 and Windows PC exclusive. Ok, so it's not quite the same as console exclusivity, but you get the idea.
  • Banjo-Kazooie, the beloved bear and bird duo from the Nintendo 64 will be coming to the Xbox 360. It's currently unknown whether this will be a brand new title, or just a remake.
  • Marvel Universe Online was also revealed, and will be an exclusive title for the 360 and the upcoming Windows Vista. This MMO is being developed by Cryptic Studios, makers of the acclaimed 'City of Heroes'.
  • And now over to Xbox Live Arcade: the original DOOM game will be avaliable in all its original glory. The full game will be included, as well as multiplayer components. As well as DOOM, a remake of Sensible World of Soccer from Codemasters is also coming. Players will be able to choose between the original version and a new, updated version, with fresh visuals.
That's it for now. We'll give you more details on all these titles as soon as we have it.
