EA has revealed its playable line-up for Microsoft's Xbox 360 showcase in Amsterdam, and confirmed that it has three more titles in development for the platform including an update of the latest Burnout game.

Electronic Arts has announced that it will showcase five Xbox 360 launch titles at Microsoft's X05 event in Amsterdam today and tomorrow, and has named three more titles in development for the platform.

The five launch titles are Need For Speed: Most Wanted, FIFA 06: Road to FIFA World Cup, NBA Live 06, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06 and Madden NFL 06. All five will be available alongside the console in the US from November 22nd and in Europe from December 2nd.

EA also stated that The Godfather, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat and Burnout Revenge remain in development for the Xbox 360 as previously stated, although release dates have yet to be confirmed.

"The visual richness and engaging gameplay are just two of the many reasons that gamers all over the world have something to look forward to this autumn with the Xbox 360 launch."

X05 takes place in Amsterdam today and tomorrow (October 4th/5th) and is expected to see Microsoft cement its launch line-up of between 10 and 15 games for Xbox 360, with new software announcements also on the cards.
