Well, there haven’t been many exclusives announced for the Xbox 360 for 2009 yet.  In fact, Aaron Greenburg, director of product management at Microsoft, addressed that very fact in a recent interview, saying that there were plenty that were as yet unannounced.  So I have to say, the list looks pretty slim.  But there are quite a few games on my upcoming multiplatform list that I will undoubtedly play on the Xbox over the PS3 or PC, because I prefer the controller and achievement system of the 360.   Having said that, here’s the list of my most anticipated Xbox 360 games of 2009.

Mass Effect 2
Projected to be out before the end of the year, but no official release has been announced yet. I liked the first game and played it all the way through, so I assume the second will be even better.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope
The next installment of the Star Ocean series. Team-oriented play, and the ability to control your own ship.

Yep, that’s it. That’s all the exclusives I could come up with that I’m interested in. It’s interesting how developers are trending towards multiplatform games that’ll play on the Xbox, the PS3, and sometimes the PC, thereby negating the gaming reasons to own more than one of those consoles.   So the graphically inferior Wii gets a plethora of exclusives because it’s different, while the rest cannibalize each other’s sales.
