The Xbox Live Game Room came into the spotlight just a short while ago, and it has many Xbox 360 owners anticipating what new content will accompany each update. So far, the experience has been very great, and the third game pack could even top the first two - if it wasn't delayed.
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.
GameRoom is actually pretty neat. Of course, it's a complete rip-off for me, but MS really did a good job aiming it towards the casual audience.
Hopefully we see better titles come for it. There are 100 better ways to use MS Points and GameRoom isn't one of them.
Speaking of which, I need MS Points but can't afford the damn thing after having to buy LIVE.

The games, from what I've seen suck a lot. But they added things like decorating your room with gifts you get from games and stuff like that. I mean, I think it's lame, but it's clearly aimed at casuals.
They need better games. Original games unfortunately wont come to GR since it's all about classic. That's why I prefer Home. I can play titles like EcoChrome on an arcade for free... once I boot up Home, go to Arcade, and wait for a free spot. The point is, GR is a dumb nickel and dime ripoff.
Noo...
the game room sucks big time and i like my 360 alot more than my ps3
I personally don't see the appeal of gameroom. Like Home I downloaded it, played around for 20 minutes and then never went back.
It's only for people who want to play ancient atari games that are long forgotten so who exactly is this for?
