The Gamerscore Blog guys are confirming a few games that will be headed to the Xbox 360 Platinum Hits lineup on March 16th in North America. If you didn't know, the Platinum Hits program is a list of games that have been singled out to retail for $29.99, because they "supposedly" achieved greatness during their lifetime. We may not always agree with certain games that come to the Platinum Hits, but nobody can disagree with the cheaper pricetag. Below is a list of games that will become Platinum Hits in North America.

  • Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
  • Burnout Revenge
  • Call of Duty 2
  • Dead or Alive 4
  • Fight Night Round 3
  • Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
  • Top Spin 2
  • Rockstar Games presents Table Tennis

    Two new treats for any sports-gamers out there. A little something old not so old -- a demo for EA's FIFA World Cup 06 soccer game, which launched alongside the system in November -- and a little something new -- a demo for 2K Sports' tennis-sim Top Spin 2, which came out late last month. A nice little pre-E3 treat.

    Top Spin 2     developer, Indie Built, was recently closed down by Take-Two, publishers of the 2K Sports series and owners of the Salt Lake City developer.

    [Thanks, Arsamore & Carl-Tang]

    (Update: corrected the timeliness of the FIFA demo. Thanks HoTHiTTeR360 and BraveQuail. Can you tell I don't play sports games much? Seriously though... they just came out with a soccer game less than six months ago! What could they have changed?!)

    Here's a racquet sport warm up while you're waiting to find out if Grand Theft Ping Pong is the real deal: According to 2K Sports Senior Producer Thorsten Moeckel, a Top Spin 2 demo will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace a "few days" before the game's April 7 release date.

    How important have demos been to your gaming decisions so far? Is it pretty much a necessity for every Xbox 360 game? Have you decided not to purchase a game after being disappointed with the demo?

Dead Rising, Top Spin 2, Lost Odysseyhttp://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/01/13/delays-galore-dead-rising-top-spin-2-lost-odyssey/http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/01/13/delays-galore-dead-rising-top-spin-2-lost-odyssey/http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2006/01/13/delays-galore-dead-rising-top-spin-2-lost-odyssey/#commentsFiled under: ,

    Sorry for being the bearer of bad news, but Frame City Killer wasn't the only game to get delayed this week.
    • Originally supposed to launch at the end of January, Capcom's Dead Rising has been pushed back to May 2. Joystiq's hands-on with the title at CES left us thinking the title needed a little more work.
    • 2K Sports tennis-sim Top Spin 2 has been pushed back until April.
    • Hironobu Sakaguchi's much anticipated RPG Lost Odyssey has not so much been pushed back, as its release date is just unknown. Using the often inaccurate sales data gleaned from Internet retailers, IGN extracted that the release date has been pushed back.
    This Spring will have plenty of great titles being released for the 360; unfortunately, the period between now and then may prove pretty dry. Another round of Geometry Wars anyone?

    GamersReports has an interesting release update from Gamestop. In it are some updates to noteworthy titles you may have been eyeing. However, one of the most intriguing bits comes from the listing of Medal of Honor: Airborne for Xbox 360. With a PS3 version planned, this definitely strikes some interest. Other titles include Fight Night Round 3, which has a date of Feb 14th and Topspin 2, which is slated for April 3rd. And The Outfit has a date for March 13th as well.
