According to Planet Xbox 360, the latest Official Xbox Magazine dishes out what its editors believe to be the top 5 games being secretly made for the Xbox 360. More or less the list is a wish list of games that most of us would like to see make an appearance on our beloved console. Many of them have been rumored for quite some time, but it's a nice list nevertheless. Check it out after the break.

World of Warcraft "definitely not" on 360

Despite earlier (highly dubious) rumors, Blizzard's COO Paul Sams told MCV, "We do not have any plans to take [World of Warcraft] to Xbox 360. WoW is built as a PC gaming experience. Porting PC games to console often compromises games, and we’d never allow the WoW gameplay experience to suffer."

In addition to the obvious absence of a keyboard, he also cites the walled-garden approach of Xbox Live would prohibit play between PC players and their Xbox counterparts. He wasn't entirely dismissive of the idea, offering that, while they don't have any console plans at the moment, they may consider it in the future. Maybe they're just waiting to see if other 360 MMOs are successful.

Out with the old rumors, in with the new

Just after these things were all taken care of, here we go again with more completely unsubstantiated rumors. Found on a gaming forum (always a reliable source of information) the post goes on to say that an old "college roommate" hooked him up with some key details to the future of the Xbox 360. They are:

"Sometime around november 2006, MS is launching a complete media service on the marketplace. This will range from 99 cent songs, to 3.99 streaming movies."
"AT next E3, MS will announce a parternship with Blizzard that will bring World of Warcraft exclusively to 360."
"Halo 3 will be out before X'mas 2006. Exact words were Quarter 4 of 2006."
" There will be over 50 Sega dremcast games on the xbox live arcade within 2 years. Launched a handfull at a time, he said the first game will be Bonks adverture, which should be out in September 2006."

In a word: bullspit. The horrible grammar and spelling are enough to clue you in to the fact that this couldn't have been written by a college graduate (at least not an English-speaking one). Second big clue is that the seminal platformer, Bonk's Adventure, was not only not a Dreamcast game, but it wasn't even a Sega Genesis game. It was a Turbo-Grafx title! Some simple Google-action should have cleared that up.

Regardless of the veracity of the claims, do you think Microsoft should be exploring these options? I think WoW on the 360 would definitely be a killer-app.
