Microsoft has announced the imminent release of an update to Xbox 360 that will let users of the games console chat via Windows Live Messenger direct from their television sets.
From 7 May, the Xbox 360 Spring Update will provide all Xbox 360 users with access to Windows Live Messenger features so that they can instant message with up to six people on other Xbox consoles, PCs or Windows Mobile handhelds while continuing to play games, listen to music or watch a movie.
Console users can already use voice and video chat over the Xbox Live network and the new software will integrate contact lists so users will see at a glance if their Windows Live Messenger contacts have gamertags, enabling them to set-up online games
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.
COOOOOOL!
I'm not starting a flamebait war here... but seriously if you don't own a 360 (which I do) already and have a pretty good PC... why buy a 360?
Halo is on PC.. and soon so will Gears
Simple answer toa simple Question.
Consoles will never die, becasue they will allow you to play a top notch game with great graphics without spending your hard-earned money everytime a new PC card comes out, like every 6 months.
Pc games continue to push the barriers of PC Videocard card Technology. you can own a console and know you don't have to upgrade much for atleast 5-6 years(I like that strategy), or a Sony claim 10+ years.(yeah good one SONY, when Nvidia 13000GTX + DirectX13 is out in 3 years)
You get more "BANG" for your "BUCKS". Now if you don't mind "Downgrading" your PC games becasue your card can't handle the way the game was meant to be played then that's your poragative. If you have the money to upgrade every 6 months, then so be it, lucky you, stick to a PC, and get off the Consoles.
more stuff to do when your laser burns out.
LOL
good idea thou.
Ok I was just asking.. I'm all about consoles..
One of my biggest gripes before about console and PC's were I rather play in my living room in comfort on bigger screen TV, then behind a desk on a smaller computer monitor.
But there's no doubt that PC's are making their way to the living room, and with outputs for tv's (in HD). So things will change.
But I will agree with you about the games just being ports.
Was just asking....
