X06 Event starts off with a bang

Xbox 360’s conference held in Barelona this year has already garnered some of my interest. In a press release today it was announced that two Xbox Live Marketplace expansions for Grand Theft Auto IV would be released exclusive on the 360, each within months after the game’s release. Apparently, according to the press release they’ll both be in the same quality as Liberty City Stories for PSP. That’s a hefty amount of new content!

Banjo Kazooie 3, pending name, was also announced, with a short mini trailer uneviled. You can find the media on this here: http://media.1up.com/media?id=3041789

Halo Wars, an RTS made by the same developer of Age of the Empires fame. Personally, I have never played an AOE game but any type of strategy game is welcome to me, on any console.

 And finally, HD-DVD player will be available for Xbox 360 consoles as an add on for the price of $299.99, and bundled with King Kong (for a limited time apparently).

It seems that Microsoft waited to show it’s big guns for X06, as expected. Further updates will be reported as news is released throughout the conference.
