MICROSOFT: Blockbuster year of games for Xbox 360

Disappointed that there was no word of Xbox 720? Microsoft says there's no need, thanks to its "biggest year for blockbuster games in Xbox history".
The platform holder confidently claims that the next twelve months is going to be better than any previous year for Xbox 360 users, thanks to the like of Halo 4, Call of Duty Black Ops, Gears of War: Judgment and a wealth of new Kinect and XBLA games.
Due for Microsoft's console throughout the next year are:
Ascend: New Gods, a new XBLA RPG from the makers of popular action title Toy Soldiers. Players will be able to continue their war efforts against their enemies on their mobile phone, strengthening their forces in game.
XBLA racer Avatar Motocross Madness, the latest in a string of games that let you play as your Xbox Avatar.
Dance Central 3, the second sequel to Harmonix's hugely popular Kinect dancing series, featuring tracks from Usher, Daft Punk, Gloria Gaynor, 50 Cent and more.
Lionhead's Fable: The Journey which brings Kinect functionality to Microsoft's flagship RPG series. The game will be released in the UK on October 12th.
FIFA 13, which now feature voice commands via Kinect
Forza Horizon, the first entry in the series to go beyond racing circuits and onto the open road - even throwing traffic into the mix.
