X06 - Huge Announcements!

So it looks like we've got the final big to-do in the videogame industry before the big holiday season. Microsoft's X06. There's expected to be a ton of pretty big announcements in the next couple days for the 360.

In particular the guys at Bungie have some stuff to announce. My guess is it'll have something to do with the Halo brand extending. Maybe they'll announce the Halo RTS that's been talked so much about. There were some guys making one as a C&C mod. Bungie told them to stop, then hired all of the devs to go work for them, so I think there's something to that. Maybe even the Halo MMO that's been hinted at.

We're also finally going to get to see the good stuff. Not that TGS wasn't a decent show, but that crap isn't my cup of tea. We're probably going to hear more about Gears of War as it gears up (horrible pun intended) for it's November release. We'll get to see some stuff about the localized Sonic. Apparently that white hedgehog's name is Silver.

There's been talk of Rockstar showing up to shed some light on the long hidden GTA4 as well.

Ubisoft is another to keep an eye on. They've got the new Rainbow game, which harkens back to the original RS3, one of the better Xbox online shooters. I'm super hopeful we'll get some news on Assassians Creed. All the signs are there, let's hope Ubi pulls it off. Then of course there's the rumor that we'll be hearing from my main man, the Prince of Persia. News is some of those leaks were from a Ubisoft showing for X06. I hope that's true.

In terms of some exclusive 360 stuff, we're finally going to get to see some more on Mass Effect. I watched a demo/video thing for it on the newest OXM game disc...lets just say I nearly exploded...in my pants. Then you've got Too Human and...VIVA PINATA! Reports are it actually plays kind of fun. Weird. And one of the bigger things is that Rare is rumored to be getting ready to show something off, and rumors are it's not going to be a new IP, but a return to an older franchise. I cross everything possible on my body, hoping that it's either a new Banjo-Kazooie or Conker. Please God, please!

So basically, I'm really excited for X06. Leaps and bounds beyond TGS. Anyone else looking forward to this show?
