Xbox 360 games coming soon.
There are a number of interesting Xbox 360 games coming soon in the first quarter of 2009. There's also a little bit of something for everyone from Street Fighter fans to survival horror nuts to anyone that ever wanted to jump in a fighter jet and dust their best friend.
Most anticipated Xbox 360 games coming soon: Halo Wars and Guitar Hero: Metallica. While real-time strategy games have experienced difficulty translating to consoles, the mere fact that it takes place in the world of Halo makes Halo Wars an anticipated title, while Guitar Hero: Metallica's appeal is driven by James, Lars, Kirk and Robert.

Release Date: 3/3/2009
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. is a bit more arcade than true flight sims, but it promises some cool multiplayer action.

Wheelman. What do you get when you digitize Vin Diesel and put him in a video game that is like a cross between 2 Fast 2 Furious and The Transporter? A game to keep an eye on. While you will want to check the early reviews on this one, the game promises to expand on the idea of a car as a weapon. Release Date: 3/16/2009
Ninja Blade. If you think Ninja Blade is just another Ninja game, well, you might be right. But is there anything wrong with that? Set in a futuristic version of Tokyo, Ninja Blade is a bit more of a hack-n-slash ninja game with a slant towards the fantastical when it comes to using your ninja abilities. Release Date: 3/24/2009
Stormrise. Stormrise is another attempt to translate the real-time strategy genre onto the console, but it's taking a slightly different route than most. Instead of controlling your forces via an isometric viewpoint, Stormrise combines first-person elements with real-time strategy by allowing you to take control of units, and through them, control the surrounding units. Release Date: 3/24/2009
Guitar Hero: Metallica. The first Guitar Hero: World Tour spin off lets you take your guitar, drums and vocals to Metallica's stage. In addition to playing with James, Lars, Kirk and Robert, you can also experience guest acts like Queen, Alice in Chains and the Foo Fighters. Release Date: 3/29/2009
