Engadget: It may not have a new name, but the Xbox 360 certainly has received quite a facelift on this the fifth anniversary of its unveiling. The new Xbox 360 (aka the "Xbox 360 250GB") makes up for its familiar name by offering a starkly refreshed and, in our eyes, significantly sexier design than its predecessor -- which honestly was quite the looker in its day.
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.
it looks like the fat ps3 and the original xbox have a baby
the old 360 looks like an ugly pc :)
I'll probably end up buying this at the end of the year. If Sony announce a new console, i'll probably end up buying that also. I'm happy with my 360 and PS3 Slim at the moment, though.
The more I look the more I like it, it looks so sleek now. This is what the original should have been. The gloss exterior is nice, cool buttons, all the connections on the back, vents on the sides. It looks so clean, good job Microsoft, you're just 5 years late.
The system is beautiful no matter how you slice it!
The only thing that has me worried is the warranty cut, from 3 years to 1. Guess MS has full confidence in their new baby. Just hope mine doesnt die 1 day after my warranty expires.
God damn, why has noone put this side by side with the older model so we can see the size difference?!??!
Or if they have... Link please?
