After a solid year for the Xbox 360 in 2007 many thought the system could never showcase the same amount of quality exclusives in a single year.

In the 2008 Microsoft Game Studios Yearbook, we've compiled a list of this year's graduating class with a detailed account of each title's current status and the stories surrounding them.

From heartbreaking cancellations, surprise feature announcements and expected sequels, the 2008 MGS Yearbook is filled with fun facts and information on your soon-to-be favorite titles. Also included in the yearbook are special joke awards given to each title that releases in 2008 that poke fun at the details most commonly argued about in the comments.

From Ninja Gaiden II to Alan Wake, the 2008 Microsoft Game Studios Yearbook will have something for everyone.

Ladies and gentlemen allow us to introduce the 2008 Microsoft Game Studios graduating class ...

Champions Online Teaser Trailer

"From the ruins, a champion is born." When the Marvel MMO was canceled, many of us were disappointed that we would never see any form of super-powered MMO make it's way to consoles. However, as the above quote from the trailer hints, Champions Online was born out the ashes of Marvel Universe Online. Cryptic Studios is bringing the old-school RPG into the modern age with an MMORPG based on creating your own champion. The game was only recently announced, and not much is known, but the teaser does show some gameplay snippets, hinting that the team may be farther along in development than we are told. The game's environments and character designs look creative and interesting, but it takes much more than that for an MMO to succeed. As more ino about this game gets revealed, we'll have a chance to see whether Champions Online has what it takes to go the distance.

Goodbye Marvel MMO, Hello Champions Online

With the Marvel MMO officially dead and buried, what's a poor Superhero-MMO developer to do? Turns out that Cryptic Studios, creators of City of Heroes, City of Villains, (and would-be creators of Marvel Unniverse Online) already has another project going. That explains why we've been in the dark about the Marvel MMO for so long, Cryptic's been busy with another project! That new project is called Champions Online and is based on the old-school tabletop RPG of the same name (sans "online"). Champions is still a superhero world, with plenty of customizability that should work great for the world of an MMO. The main character creation mechanic, called the Hero System, allows the player to create custom super-powers. The depth of a tabletop game with the fun of a superhero MMO? Sounds good, though we'll always miss the Marvel MMO.
