Now, some psychoanalysis on Microsoft executives would be quite entertaining ("Tell me about these lucid dreams, Peter."), especially when compared to the recent observations made by Colin Sebastian of Lazard Capital Markets. In his earth-shattering report, Mr. Sebastian describes the folks behind the Xbox brand as "upbeat" given the commercial success of Gears of War, the company's considerable launch lead against competitors and consistent growth in Europe. Japan, not so much.
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.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
And rightly so.
People weren't so narrow minded, and blindly loyal, to see how great the Xbox360 really is. It has great games, great online service, and it is less expensive than the PS3!
The 360 has so many features. At first when I bought an Xbox $50 didn’t justify Xbox Live. But with the 360 $50 is just right for a fantastic service and great security. I just love playing all these games (GC, Wii, PS2, Xbox and 360 lots of fun) Besides MS makes the best operating system in the world, kinda got to expect the 360 to run smooth it runs on software.
if you take off your fanboy glasses and look at it from a purely logical perspective, 360 definitely is the best deal going right now. I got mine, not because I am an XBox fanboy, but because I had a limited opportunity to get a really nice price on one and it does a lot more than PS3. I'm not going to let Sony sucker me into using my games console as a movie player again. I fell for that last time around and now have a big black brick on top of my tv because the laser burned out. And then, when they discovered how pathetic their lasers were, it took them 12 upgrades of the laser cartridge to get one that works like it's supposed to. I'll be damned if I'm going through all that again with a $600 machine. I'll spend the $200 for the HD-DVD player (which is an awesome price for an HD player, btw, even if it does come with minimal features) if I want to watch movies with my 360.
As well they/we should!
