With the industry growing at a such an increasing rate, and video games progressing at a rate that even we can't keep up, we can only look back at where it started, how far we have already come, and what lies in the future. At the end of each and every year many websites, and media groups tend to try and rate games, and give what they believe to be the GOTY. In an industry much like the movies you can't simply just hand out a GOTY to any game without their being controversial, and disagreement from the audience. In addition no one wants to sit through, and watch, or read through ten different awards for ten different sections. It's just too much, and no one wants to go through it all.
In alternative to the generalization, and the categorization boredom, we here at GameXtract are introducing the Honorable Mentions list. Instead of naming one game GOTY, we have created four lists for each platform (PS3, X360, Wii, and PC) upon which we note titles that have had an outstanding performance on that platform. This is really a list of must haves, and if you are missing any of these titles then you are surely not done with 2008, nor are you ready for 2009. Let's honor those title that have made each console proud to be in this generation."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
