Who Killed the Light Gun?

The Xbox consoles are notoriously pegged as gaming systems for people who love to shoot things. Why, then, does the one "kiddie" console on the market have the only library of gun simulator games?

They could do some great games with a light gun these days. I'd buy one in a second if it worked like those in the arcade.

OMG!! DUCK HUNT!! Haha that was the greatest game ever created, wow I need a Nintendo

Yeah it's strange why there aren't good light gun games anymore.

I had a light gun on my XBOX 1, it was only very hard to find games for it. House of the Death 3 was a fun game working with it, then there was this sniping game and a game that was also in the arcade hall. Forgot both names but it was fun for sure.

Sold it though because there weren't more then 3 games that worked with it. I'd really like to see some games on 360 with support of a good light gun. It's plain old fun, two light guns, having those arcade days back!

The sniping game was probably Silent Scope.

And it's not too surprisng that they didn't make more gun games, because consumers used to be intensely anti-peripheral. If it didn't come packaged with the system, or wasn't an absolute necessity, it was assumed that any peripheral just wouldn't sell well. I think Guitar Hero 2 might be the first real exception recently, with many people owning more than one guitar.

just before the 360 was released and House of the dead 4 was announced for the 360, looks like it kinda went down the pan.....shame

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

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.
