(Removed #4 Motorstorm JPN Import)

The bold games are exclusive to that console.

PS3 Exclusives above 8/10: 5
Xbox 360 Exclusives above 8/10: 39

Xbox 360 has 7.8 times as many 8/10 games exclusive to their console. Also, NBA Street Homecourt and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 are the only ports that rank higher on the PS3 and are above scores of 8/10.
Does this, for now, prove that Xbox 360 has better games than PS3 at this point? Also, will the PS3 be able to catch up and then keep up in the coming years? There's a long way to go, but for now, the claims that PS3 doesn't have many good games... is true.

Ratings taken from MetaCritic.com. To be in the top scores for each console, each game had to have at least 5 ratings from seperate sites.

SEGA ROUNDS UP CURRENTLY ANNOUNCED TITLES FOR E3
Published by: sjohn on Sunday, May 07, 2006
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced their title lineup to be featured at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2006. SEGA will feature a broad variety of titles developed for next-generation consoles including the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the Wii™ system from Nintendo. In addition, SEGA continues its strong support of PC, current consoles and handheld platforms including the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Nintendo DS™, and the PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable) system. SEGA's booth will be located in South Hall, #946, Los Angeles Convention Center.

SEGA will feature several key titles in its E3 2006 lineup. Sonic celebrates his 15th anniversary by blazing his way onto the PS3 and Xbox 360 consoles with his first adventure set in the human world in Sonic The Hedgehog! Featuring interactive 3D environments and a large cast of returning and new characters, get ready for the reinvention of Sonic The Hedgehog, in his most intense, high velocity escapade to date. Full Auto 2: Battlelines is the next generation of combat-racing, exclusively for the PLAYSTATION 3. Players must use explosive weapons, high-speed vehicles and skillful demolition of the environment to defeat their opponents and claim the city in high-tempo single-player and multiplayer modes. Virtua Tennis 3 is the return of the Virtua Tennis series with enhanced photo-realistic graphics and advanced player animations that perfectly match the behavior and mannerisms of individual professional athletes. The game will also feature a brand new host of popular mini-games characteristic of the franchise. Medieval II: Total War is the latest game in the award-winning and critically acclaimed Total War series. Medieval II: Total War is the highly anticipated follow-up to 2005's Strategy Game of the Year - Rome: Total War. Coming to the PC, Medieval II is a visually stunning game that spans four and half centuries of the most turbulent and bloody era of Western history, encompassing the golden age of chivalry, the Crusades, the proliferation of gunpowder, the rise of professional armies, the Renaissance and the discovery of America.

Next-Gen SEGA Rally announced

Next-Gen SEGA Rally announced
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, April 30, 2006
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360,

It looks like SEGA is giving yet another one of their franchises a next-gen sequel. A few days ago they announced Virtua Tennis 3, today SEGA Rally is announced for Xbox 360, PC and Playstation 3. No word of a Wii version.

Apparently they are taking some sort of MotorStorm-like approach to terrain-deforming:

Set to redefine the rally genre with vibrant next generation graphics, intuitive controls, competitive bumper-to-bumper racing and fully reactive environments. SEGA Rally will once again be leading the rest of the pack with a wonderfully vivacious and realistic graphical world that is every gamers driving fantasy.

SEGA Rally offers a vast variety of fully deformable environments and surfaces, from littered gravel tracks, all weather tarmac roads, to snow driven trails - no two laps let alone a race will ever be the same!

And something that I find a bit more interesting; they promised to keep it ‘entertaining’ (read: arcade) instead of making it into an uber-realistic racing-simulator.
