Microsoft Showing "Exciting Unannounced Project" At Comic-Con
Comic-Con's not typically an event one attends expecting to hear about the latest game announcements, but Microsoft is bringing with it something as yet unannounced, according to an invite from the Xbox 360 maker.
Microsoft will be showcasing the already announced Halo 3: ODST, Alan Wake, The Beatles: Rock Band, Left 4 Dead 2 and Xbox Live Arcade's South Park and Shadow Complex during the Con. But it's also giving us a chance to see a "new, exciting unannounced project from one of our top franchises." Interesting...
Microsoft will hold a media reception on the evening of Thursday, July 23rd which could mean an announcement will happen that night. Granted, since the company's invite states that those of us covering Comic-Con will be "among the first" to see that unannounced project, it could very well be announced ahead of time.
Also, to prevent hype poisoning, note that "new project" does not necessarily mean "new video game." We could be getting our first look at new downloadable content or something else that should induce caution.
In the meantime, any educated guesses about that mystery project?

Rumour: Rockstar New England Working on 360 Exclusive
Rockstar New England, formerly Mad Doc Studios and developers of Bully: Scholarship Edition and the Empire Earth franchise, have been having one of those years. While last month’s layoffs hit hard, rendering “at least 10 percent of the studio” redundant, they came after news that the company was working on an unannounced title. However, this is not the case.
The developer has not one but two unannounced games in the pipeline. Any game from a studio marked “Rockstar” is bound to attract attention, right? Our sources went a step further, stating the second unannounced game to be exclusive to the Xbox 360. Created as a contrast to The Agent, coming exclusively to the Playstation 3? Maybe. Another AAA title for Rockstar to reap the greens with? As with The Agent, it won’t be long before all is unveiled in the coming months.
