The Xbox 360 was launched at the end of 2005, quite some time ago, but a lot has changed since we first snapped up our original console.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

You know it's time for the next gen once you see these types of articles.
R.I.P. Current Gen.
When I bought my 360 in November 2005, I did not expect all the things it actually offered.
Back then, it was just logical that GTA, Resident Evil, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid or Devil May Cry were Playstation exclusives. I haven't even heard of VoD, which is a very good alternative to disc format movies. I still own and buy DVDs / BluRays, but VoD is another welcome addition. Especially for movies I am not sure if they are good.
Now TV series are finally available in Germany as well. I will buy a couple of seasons later.
XBLA turned out to be awesome as well. I can even watch the Bundesliga on my Xbox, which is just awesome.
Xbox 360 offered way more than I anticipated in 2005. Heck, beack then I had to explain to a couple of non-nerd-friends, what HDTV actually is.
I just hope NextGen can get out of the generic FPS games and move back into introduction new original IP's
When I bought an xbox 360 I liked it for its gaming and its community on games.
Now I turn it on and I look at all the useless tacked on shit that was already available on my PC anyway e.g youtube, netflix etc and I question wether or not MS is really about the games or are they just trying to basically turn the 360 into a restricted PC they can control and set the rules for pricing on (MS points) and the answer is yes, yes they are just trying to make the xbox into an entertainment hub and some may like that but I as a gamer do not because they have forgotten the core fundamental of an xbox, a gaming console.
