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.

The Xbox Live Fall Update hit today and brought with it a slew of problems. The most notable issue seems to be people trying to download the update in the first place. Don't worry, we're here to help.
Upon signing in to Xbox Live, there is a prompt to update the console. Most likely, if you are reading this article, you end up with an "Update Failed" notification that suggests you check your connection settings or head to xbox.com/support for help. The good news is that you most likely do not actually have a connection problem, at least not one on your end.
Maybe you've tried to hit up the Xbox support page and found it, too, is not working. Again, this isn't your problem. After several emails and waiting in the queue for some help, Microsoft explained the problem as simply a bandwidth issue. So many people are trying to download the update right now that the Xbox Live servers can't handle it. Then, of course, all of those people getting error messages head to the support page for help and cause the same problem over there. Stop the insanity!
You may hear or read a variety of workarounds or MacGuyvered solutions to get your update, but signing in and out five times, resetting your modem, turning off auto sign-in, etc. are not actually going to speed up the process. The only thing you can do is be patient and wait for your update to magically succeed. Rest assured that you do not have a broken console, and your Internet connection is just fine. You will get your update as soon as Microsoft can get it to you.
So the short answer is that you shouldn't get frustrated or spend countless hours googling a solution. Just relax, make yourself a sandwich, and let this article ease your mind while you wait for your update to finally go through.
This article could have just been three words.
Just be patient.
No problems these guys are just reporting on random issues they are looking for. The article looks like flame and sounds old(by a day). There was the expected traffic overload when the update first released that caused systematic prompts that show up as typical errors. When too many people try to download something all at once the server will lock you out and the 360 doesn't know any better but to display the defacto errors etc.
Zune Music marketplace and and ESPN had traffic issues locking me out. I've been locked out of past NXE updates. XBL runs perfect only hours after you notice these slow downs. Might be IP too and not XBL
Shouldn't examiner.com be in the tabloid section?
