OK, so to re-cap that's 17 games confirmed for launch. So all this "Nuh no titles yet" talk can stop being so tiresome and wrong.

Yeah, I'm waiting for Xbox 360 titles to appear on their database.

Not to worry, though, I've got at least a month left to claim it, so they should be on by then.

That'll be the 0.5 game though. :'(

Perfect Dark will be the one I'm looking out for.

Oh damn, well let's just say half of them make it then:

8.5 games at launch!

AJ! I was meaning to ask you something, I was looking over the GAD list and pretty far down there's an unclaimed one with your name beside. I was just wondering if you actually knew if you had won?

Yeh, but like I've said, the majority of them seem to have been developed for the Xbox rather than the 360.

Heh, just because the publishers say they will launch on release doesn't mean they will; they have to pass their games through certification, then they have to go gold for manufacturing; anther words, when and only when the first party (MS) have given them the full seal of approval i.e. confirmation from them, will it be certain.

Project Gotham, Perfect Dark, Kameo and Madden will all be AJ's.

w00t.

The non-MS one saying "here come 9 games at launch that aren't from MS or EA"?

I agree with you 100%.

J Allard is God, though, so he is clearly just playing it down so when all three are available at launch we'll all want to kiss his big, bald, frictionless head.
