Microsoft hosted X10, a media event absent from the scene since 2006, tonight and presented a few updates to their game offerings in the coming year. I ranked them, unequivocally, by importance below:

6. An exclusive Xbox 360 prologue to Dead Rising 2, Dead Rising: CASE ZERO, is set to release before the game proper launches on August 31.

5. I reported on this earlier in the week but it was confirmed tonight: there WILL be a Final Fantasy XIII Special Edition Xbox 360 Bundle coming out. The bundle is due on March 9th and will include a 250GB hard drive, two wireless controllers, and a copy of the game of course for $399.

4. Lost Planet 2 marks the series first step into four-player co-op on May 18.

3. Alan Wake decides to compete directly with Capcom's latest by releasing on the same day, May 18.

2. Joanna Dark redeems herself from the travesty that was Perfect Dark Zero by re-starring in her original N64 adventure in March. Perfect Dark will sport a higher poly count on Xbox 360 and a surprising low $10, according to 1up.

1. And lastly, but most important, is that the Halo 3: ODST disc you've been holding onto will finally prove its worth on May 3; the date the Halo Reach beta goes live. Retouched graphics engine, improved game mechanics, more Halo...I'm there.
