Microsoft are currently holding their Xbox 360 May Showcase in San Francisco highlighting a number of exclusive titles expected to release on Xbox 360 before the year is out. Grabbing all the big guns and putting them in the same room really demonstrated the sort of exclusive weight some of these games will have in Microsoft's corner when the fight for your hard-earned dollars begins towards the end of the year.

Despite the event being overseas, Microsoft Australia have been nice enough to hand over all new available assets for the games shown including videos and screens. You can view all of this from our exclusive games pages for each, just click on the title listed below and you'll be magically transported to that game's home right here on AusGamers.

• Gears of War 2
• Fable 2
• Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
• Viva Pinata: Trouble In Paradise
• Too Human
• Ninja Gaiden 2

Mysteriously (and alarmingly) absent from this list of games was Mass Effect 2 sparking rumours EA would be pulling the game as a Microsoft Xbox 360/Games For Windows exclusive and opening it up to PS3, however, neither BioWare, EA or Microsoft have commented on these rumours as yet, but it's still odd the game has somewhat dropped off the radar (though it's likely it has just been pushed back to 2009). So jump on in and have a look at what's in store for 360 as the year progresses. We'll update you with any further information we can get, but for now, it's looking pretty sweet for 360 owners.

Perhaps mass effect 2 is coming out next year?

Also, do you know if fable 2 is coming to PC?
