"Microsoft is undergoing a rather ambitious experiment with XNA, the set of developer tools that allows anyone to create and submit a game to be sold on Xbox Live, but a former employee is now raising questions about the quality of the games. David Weller, the former XNA community manager, has posted on his blog that he believes a lot of good games are going to be crowded out in a market that will be saturated with junk releases. Considering the recent delisting of Xbox Live Arcade games this seems like a direct about face."

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.
I think that this is a manifestation of Microsoft's need to get the Xbox 360 back into the glory days. Even if it means that there's bad games coming from all corners it'll still mean that people are using the console. I guess they feel there's no such thing as bad publicity.
They do mention that XNA games are peer reviewed. That they are made by amateurs. That they won't be more than $10. They are going to listed in a separate section than arcade titles. And lastly that anyone buying one should know that they are not from professional developers it is a community thing. The trash people write for page hits is amazing.
It never will....
thank you MS! i really mean that. PSN = DVD quality games. Live = take a punt... it might be quite a good game or you might end up with a pile of s**t, but either way it won't be up there with Socom, Fat Princess, Pixel Junk monsters, Pixeljunk Eden, Echocrome, Siren, RAC Quest for Booty or... well you get the picture
