It came in like a dark horse in the night, slicing through the hype surrounding big-budget titles like 'Halo 3' and 'Rock Band' with a subtle, almost muted pre-release advertising presence. But now, a day away from the official release of 'BioShock' for the Xbox 360 and PC, reviews are rolling in declaring that this might not just be the best game on the Xbox 360 this year, but perhaps the best game of all time.
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."
It's a great SINGLE PLAYER game. But comparing it to Halo?? Come on now, there's not much to do after you beat Bioshock, you'll be bored to tears after the second run through. So you MIGHT get 30-40 hr's out of the game.
Halo on the other end, THOUSANDS of hours... with your friends none the less. Offline and Online.
Replayability is something these reviewers aren't taking in to account... and personally, it's HUGE.
i kind of have to agree a little bit. Many games get knocked off a little bit for not having a multiplayer, especially a first person shooter. This will be a great game, but like a lot of games not having a multiplayer, it should get a little knocked off for it.
@hydrog - "It's a great SINGLE PLAYER game. But comparing it to Halo?? Come on now, there's not much to do after you beat Bioshock" - Play it again. =] And honestly a thousand hours of Halo? naww man.. I got so tired of Halo 2 soooo fast online because of all the people hacking on there.. How fun is it when, you go into a game that as soon as it starts you, as well as your teammates, start dropping from mid-air to the ground in the same spot, and you die before you touch the ground. One night me an my buddy was going to play that happed to us 4 games in a row. Hopefully Halo 3 will be better without all the hackers on there.
I personally think it will be fun to replay.. Because in one interview, you can't get all the achievements in just one run. And if the post was correct, there is like 5 or some people that you can CHOOSE to kill. And I think that you won't be able to kill all them in one run, so start over so you can kill the other ones.
@SmokeyMcBlunt - I agree as well, but still.. that's what you have Halo for. =]
The game is so incredibly awesome to me, and replayability, for me it has tons, i've played the demo no less than 30 times already, and that's no exaggeration.
I'm not really surprised that it could be the "Greatest Game Of All Time" but more humbled. Just glad that it's getting what it deserves, what the developers deserve. If Zelda has held the "Greatest game" title for this long, it was bound to get knocked off sometime, that time, my friends...Is tomorrow.
I'm so happy!!! And i don't know why!
@jay3 - You don't know why your so happy? Maybe you should re-read your post. Just a little advice.=]
