Dollar Dash - Preview |Thirteen1

Dollar Dash is a promising new arena battle game coming to PC and Xbox Live. Published by Kalypso and developed by Candy Gun Games, we managed to get our hands on an early version of its multiplayer thievery. From what I’d already seen, DD promised to be addictive – a staple of all great games on the Xbox Live format – and I can happily report that this little gem is living up to its promise.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ827d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.

Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.

Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.

I had a PS2 and it's online experience was fine but it didn't have the same level of polish voice chat never worked for me but I was trying to play from Australia where not many people played PS2 online to the point where many devs simply dropped the online mode from the pal version.
That's not all PS2 games mind you there were plenty that worked perfectly but it was more on the dev and not the platform

During that era I also played a fairly large amount on online PC games and they were undoubtedly better than both systems. PS2 from functionality and Xbox because it was free

Playing my friends original Xbox it was a really polished experience it felt robust yet simple things just worked there was zero config.

Yeah but the time ps3 came the experience was the same on both based on what I played...not too much online though to be honest. But I do think that the xbox did help bring online into the console space a lot. As well as PC games to consoles.

Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
