How do you know for sure?

It cannot be the X-COM game coming out on PC/360 as it's not an exclusive.

Do you know any more details?

Care to put the pic up?

Tbh I think they probably meant console exclusive to the 360. Don't think companies pay much attention to PC releases when talking about exclusivity.

Going from what the devs of "Machinarium" said, MS are happy to call something "exclusive" as long as it is only Xbox 360 and/or PC. (PS2/PS3/PSP/Wii/DS/Mac/Linux versions mean it's not exclusive.)

lots of PC & 360 games have been billed as exclusives

I don't buy it that it's X-COM. I will be severly gutted if it is this FPS rubbish.

Yep, pretty much what I have thought/seen in the past.

I've never heard of X-COM tbh.

Mate, you have missed out on potentially the best game of all time. Get yourself a PS1 or PS2 and buy X-Com enemy unknown. Forgive the visuals and the gameplay element is purely epic.

antijoke · 14 Apr 2010 at 11:26

Hardly the best game of all time. But it's certainly worth playing if you have never played it and and you can see past the visuals.

Duke Nukem?

Please let it be Timesplitters. Good news whatever it is, Xbox needs some exclusives.

I wouldn't be so sure. General consensus is that it's an X-COM FPS.

I'd love to see SSX make a return, as I've been dying for a high adrenaline snowboard game since the Vancouver Olympics. Thing is, it was always more of a PS2 title...

unfortunately... if it is this, what a big letdown!

Nismo · 14 Apr 2010 at 12:05

X-Com would be extreme 'meh' especially as it's already been announced :/
