Electronic Arts has announced five video game titles that will be released for the Xbox 360 when the console is released next month. Need for Speed Most Wanted, FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup, NBA Live 06, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and Madden NFL 06 will be debuted by the world's biggest video game publisher at Microsoft's X05 event in Amsterdam on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Godfather, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and a new game from the Burnout Revenge franchise are all also under development for the new Xbox console, EA said, but the release dates for these games were not disclosed. The Xbox 360 is Microsoft's next generation gaming console and is set to be released on November 22nd this year.
Getting the early release ahead of Sony's PlayStation 3 console is vital for Microsoft considering the reputation and following that the "PlayStation" name has. Putting specs of the consoles aside is something that gamers will do pretty quickly, and then the judgment of which is better and which will take the #1 spot will come down to other factors such as the amount and quality of the games released for each console.
