I think when they mean launch titles, they mean launch titles in the first quarter of the X-Box 360's life. Gears of War is definatly 2006, so that's my guess!

Mass Effect? What is that, never hear of this one, maybe a secret working title.

Yeah, I edited my post, IGN first said that these were launch titles and like you I was a little confused when I saw Gears of War because I remember reading that it would be released in 2006. I can't wait till they release the launch day titles!

Hopefully they'll finally make a good superman game. I didn't think it could be done with spiderman, but it did(spiderman 2) Although I doubt they'll do a good job with superman.

It could be done too. They just have to get creative with his enemies. Like maybe the final boss of the game could be Doomsday! Doesn't that make your boxers sticky? :hump:

Yaaaarrrrr!!! All depends on the creative side. Should have it in metrolpolis(obviously) and have him fight crime(thugs, and robbers) and than have him swing on a web.... I mean fly around and meet up with bad guys. Gota have Lex, and Doomsday....Although I feel the final boss should be Martha Stewart.
