X360 Mag: It is a matter of some dismay to us that titles the calibre of the quite superb Super Mario Galaxy 2 never make it to our favourite console. Yes, shooting the head clean off some 14-year-old from Ohio has its charms, but the fact platformers seem to have died a death outside of Nintendo’s jurisdiction makes us sad. And not just a sprite with frony faces on it, either.
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.

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.
wtf.
Well, that also brings up thw question, why can't he be on PS3, iPhone, Android.
The Answer: He's Nintendo's Private Property.
why wouldn't a game like mario sell on the 360. looking at games like Alan Wake, Forza 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Fable 3; anything that isn't a military-themed shooter won't sell. That's why MS is still guessing on what to do with Rare.
Because the 360 has shot itself in the foot being a faux 'hardcore' console and not having any studios to make quality platformers since The Maw. I'll just look at my sublime PS3 Ratchet and Clank titles now.
