A game's storyline is a sacred thing, like a chain fashioned from resplendent but delicate gold wire, and we'd sooner breakfast on own toenail clippings than scout out all the big twists in advance.
At the same time, though, we're busy men. We have jobs to keep, daggnabit. Archery lessons to attend. Small animals to molest. Sleeping patterns to maintain. Jam to eat straight from the jar.
Are we to be deprived of a scriptwriter's strokes of brilliance simply because we can't find space in the diary for several hours of dramatic build-up?
Certainly not. And neither are you, gentle reader. Click on, if you dare, for our 10 favourite startling plot developments. While we're on: Vader is Luke's dad, Oedipus slept with his mum and Bruce Willis is dead.
(NB: The omission of Metal Gear Solid 2, a game composed entirely of twists, is deliberate.)"
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."
No Baldur's gate?
ahh.. great games indeed :)
Enjoyed playing every one of em mentioned :)
The Bioshock ending was a real shocker indeed. My jaw dropped when it had the flashback and everything made sense. Such a brilliant game.
No MGS3? The neding twist was just so heart breaking. :(
No MGS3 = FAIL !!!
