It's been a rushy week, and it seems like we failed to post images from two of the biggest games on Xbox 360. Bah! Here are some images of Microsoft's two games Crackdown and Mass Effect - with some in-game HUD images from the latter.
Mass Effect sure looks fantastic. It looks like you're really inside a Star Wars movie. You've gotta love Bioware for their fantastic games.
By the way, those Alan Wake images are old and I even think I've seen them before on this site.

Yeah, you're right. They are removed now, thanks for the heads-up.
Mass Effect looks incredible. Finally an RPG from Bioware that isn't based on the Star Wars universe! So now they have absolute creative freedom.
Some of those Alan Wake images are new actually. Well, new to me at least. It's difficult to notice because they look so much like the previous shots of landscape. They're all shorts taken from the same area of the game (unless that's the ONLY area, but I'd doubt that).
Crackdown looks ok, its a very clean and polished style at least, and I hope it doesn't turn out to be too much like GTA...
Mass Effect looks indeed ver scharp, Alan wake i dont know how that is going to play out i hope a bit like the max payne games but with better story,
Crakdown it looks like its got potential to be really good and the developers arent rushing it so that can be a good thing.
i have al three of these games on my wish list so i really hope they do wel

What, finally? They've only made one Star Wars based game. It's Knights of the Old Republic. KotOR - The Sith Lords was developed by Obsidian.
You're right, I totally forgot about that. What I really meant to point out though was the comparisons this game would obviously be drawn against KOTOR, but this time, it's not Star Wars. I thought KOTOR was a very innovative game, but the only thing that put me off slighty was the universe it was set in. I want more edgy, gritty, Sci-Fi, and this looks to fit the bill.
I'm eagerly waiting for a Mass Effect gameplay video. It looks so fantasticaly conceived that I can't help wanting more of it right now.
A friend of mine at E3 told me that Cradown (yes Crackdown) was one of the coolest games around. He says screenshots doesn't do it justice and that the gameplay is really fun.
Mass Effect looks even better than before! Awesome detail, great bloomlighting and selfshadowing. Action/shooting as well as RPG. Totally on my wishlist.

I found this link a day or 2 ago and even though It's a very low quality video, It still looks very impressive. It's only 23 seconds, but it's the only footage I've found of the presentation.
I'm glad they had the soft skins implemented, I'm not really into that whole shiny bright skin thing. Mass effect so far loks like the best looking game for the 360.
I think crackdown will be a killer app its a feeling i have ;) & Mass effect will for sure put the 360 on the map as a rpg's console. These are the game's that make or brake a console!! coz Mass effect & crackdown plus may others are the 360's first party game's so lets hope they do well !!!
Its insane that the 360 runs a game that looks this great so flawlessly seriously guys it looks incredible. The game performance wise could ship right now it was awesome at E3.
I also get the feeling crackdown could be a killer app I already know mass effect is :P
