Part 1
August and September are filled with a decent amount of Live games, mainly due to the fact that football, hockey, and basketball are starting up again. So I ask my fellow XBA'ers, which LIVE games, not any Xbox game, I'm talking Live games are you planning on purchasing. Here are the release dates(according to EB,) brief synopsis, and box shots of all the currently scheduled Xbox Live games to be release within the next two months.

Cuba, 2009: Castro is dead, and the first free elections in decades are thrown into turmoil by a drug-funded warlord. The Ghosts, an elite team of U.S. Army Green Berets, are sent to Cuba as part of a UN peacekeeping force to destroy the rebel forces and their mercenary leaders and secure the elections for a free Cuba.
