We've got three new Xbox 360 games to choose from this week. And the Force is strong with Hockey. LEGO Star Wars II is a no brainer. Which NHL release to pick up is the harder question.

Two new Xbox 360 games this week, fanboys. The release of Xbox Live games at retail is interesting. I can't imagine that this will be terribly successful, but maybe Microsoft will convince a few people who buy the disk to pony up for broadband so that they can download these as they come out rather than waiting a year to enjoy them on disk. For those of you not caught in the stone-ages off online connectivity, we have Test Drive Unlimited. I must say this one looks nice, but we've now officially reached our next-gen quota on racing games.

Three new Xbox 360 games this week. Yes, I said THREE. Are we on the cusp of seeing multiple and regular releases? Are the weeks of having no releases a thing of the past? The answer to these questions is a definite NO... so enjoy this week as much as you can!

I can't think of a better way to kick-off football season than with a copy of Madden NFL 07. Especially since Madden is the only option if you want a new release this week. We're anxious to see how this has improved over last year's rush job.

Once again, just one new Xbox 360 game this week, but hey, that's better than none. The beautiful Nighty-Nine Nights finally makes it's North American debut... was it worth the wait?

Fanboys, we have one new Xbox 360 game this week, Dead Rising. As Frank West, freelance journalist and all around man's man, you'll be turning your shopping spree into a killing spree as you fight off hordes of zombies with a mall full of merchandise at your disposal. So the next time your wife or girlfriend asks you to go to the mall, you can say, "sure, honey" and pop this baby into the ole Xbox! I bet she'll never ask again.

Well, PSP Fanboy did it. And DS Fanboy did it. So, I guess the Xbox 360 fanboys should go ahead and choose their top games too. The timing is probably perfect for this little quiz as the 360 is getting a solid library of games behind it (including some great ones from Xbox Arcade). It may not have as many games to its name as the other consoles, but we've got enough that we can easily select our top 3.
This questions is all about your personal preferences, but I've never met a fanboy that didn't have an opinion that they didn't want to share. Now's your chance. We'll kick this off with our top 3:
Xbox 360 Fanboy's Top 3 Faves (or Ed's anyways)
Oblivion - this one takes over your life.
Kameo - simply gorgeous!
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: Legend - old-school Lara is back!
Now it's your turn to add your faves via the comments below. Make sure you tell us both the name of the game and why its in your Xbox 360 top 3.

One new game this week, but it's the one that keeps the college football season alive year round: NCAA Football 07. It's a must have for every game collection. And, it's "better than ever with the Xbox 360's unprecedented graphics" that capture every moment of the game in complete detail -- the players, the stadiums, the cheerleaders and, most importantly, the band! (when is EA going to come out with a good college band sim?!).

Pretty good week for Xbox 360 fans. Two new games to choose from, Chromehounds and Prey.
Prey is based on authentic Cherokee mythology. It's said to be serious, dark and first game of its kind to explore themes of sacrifice, love and responsibility. Whatever. You kill aliens. End of story.
Chromehounds looks like a lot of fun and is full of those superb Xbox 360 graphics explosions we love

One new Xbox 360 game this week, but if you are a Lord of the Rings fan like all self-respecting fanboys should be, this is your week. Reliviing the epic battles from the film trilogy at home on your Xbox 360? Count me in!

Only one new Xbox 360 game this week, but it's supposed to be pretty intense. Or, at least pretty. Over G Fighters allows you to fly the world's most powerful fighter jets (over 30 jets to choose from) across more than 80 intense missions. Maybe, this one will keep us busy until later this summer when we see a few more new Xbox 360 games.

Kind of slow on the Xbox 360 game releases, but we will be seeing a couple of new ones over the summer. This week, just one to get "revved" up about, Moto GP 2006. So, if you are looking for some fast thrills, this is the only official game of the MotoGP Championship on Xbox. And it sure does look pretty.

Two new Xbox 360 games this week! Sorta. Call of Duty 2: Game of the Year Edition is, of course, the further milking of the Xbox 360's best FPS. Is it me, or does it seem too early to have a game of the year edition of anything for the Xbox 360?
We also have Rockstar Games' Table Tennis which claims to "recreate the tension of professional table tennis." Whew! My palms are already sweating.

Only one new Xbox 360 release this week (which doesn't make it a bad week!), but it's a good one to pick up as we await the big screen release of X-Men: The Last Stand. The game allows us to fully command the powers of our favorite X-Men (We know you want to play as Kitty Pride. It's ok, really). Hopefully the game will be better than we're hearing the movie is. We'll be keeping our fingers crossed for both.
