CNews has a story (http://wham.canoe.ca/xbox/2005/10/04/1248057.html) about the opening lineup of the XBox 360. I've heard of most of these before, except for the next Bioware RPG, called Mass Effect. I could find no reference to it prior to the announcement of the lineup, so I think Bioware must have been keeping it very hushhush.

Gears of War
Call of Duty 2
