Microsoft's recent announcement that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will launch on November 14 means that every game in Microsoft's first-party 2008 line-up has finally been given a solid release date. No more guessing!

And that means that, unless any of the following games bow down to some unexpected slippage, 360 gamers can start their saving their pennies and figuring out how they're going to juggle multi-card payments to mum and dad until Christmas brings them some much needed cash. You're looking at buying a game a month. Credit crunch? My arse...

Viva PiƱata: Trouble in Paradise - Microsoft has dated Rare's family friendly follow-up with September 5.

Gears Of War 2 - Epic's Cliffy B revealed at E3 that a November 7 release date has been pinned down for the shooter.

Fable II - The game will ship to US retailers on Oct. 21 while we have to wait an extra few days for Oct. 24. Release dates throughout the rest of the world are expected "in the coming months".

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Hot off the press, it's been dated for November 14.

Too Human - Silicon Knights' long-awaited bruiser (out in the US today) will be out in Europe on August 29. It's already causing quite a stir across the internet.

As a side note we should point out that Lips is down for 'holiday 2008' and Halo Wars has slipped into 2009. But there's also a new dashboard to look out for this autumn that'll do fancy Nintendo-like things.

Christmas on 360 is looking good then. Can't believe we're already talking about it though...

You forgot Viva Pinata :p.

VP is out in September - I should be fine for money to get it. I will get it - Viva Pinata was fantastic, a really really enjoyable game.

If they slapped a Halo tag on toaster i'd buy it, still one thing i have learnt is Halo 2 and Halo 3 each had a mountain of hype and teasers and as of yet we haven't had shizzle. So no at this moment in time i don't think there will be a Halo 4. (yes i know there will be a RTS Halo wars but that doesn't count:P)
