The Empire's Counter-Strike

More games for Xbox owners! Including Counter-Strike, Halo 2, Dead or Alive Extreme Volleyball...

Not content with its announcements earlier in the day, Microsoft conducted a press conference in Los Angeles just now and announced the full list of games currently on their way to the console. The biggest news is that Valve's Half-Life : Counter-Strike will be available for online play and that Halo 2 is in development, although if you hadn't guessed that then you're a complete loon. Other highlights on the list include Dead or Alive Extreme Volleyball, Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus, Steel Battalion, online versions of Project Gotham Racing, Amped and Rallisport Challenge and a beat 'em up called Kakuto Chojin. Early footage of games like this morning's Blinx : The Timesweeper and Tecmo's Ninja Gaiden had already sparked interest, but overall the picture of the console's next year is jam-packed with content. Lots of good things to come. The complete list of games on their way to the Xbox can be read over at IGN. Related Feature - Xbox goes Live
