Microsoft's XO5 press conference has just ended in a hot and sweaty auditorium in Amsterdam. The key announcements were:
- Exclusive Xbox titles, Mass Effect (Bioware sci-fi RPG, very brief movie shown)
- Crackdown (movie shown – futuristic urban combat game, as far could be seen)
- Too Human (created by Silicon Knights who made the wonderful horror title Eternal Darkness a few years ago – Too Human, sadly, looks like just an other futuristic combat game, albeit one with gods and giants)
- Peter Jackson will be executive producer on the Halo movie – apparently he is a fan, not that you'd imagine an overweight bearded guy being interested in a sci-fi shooter.
- Id Software will be using 360 as the lead platform for the new Wolfenstein game.
- Superman Returns will be an EA game.
More news later when I've got some hands-on time with the 360 games...
