Homefront is THQs latest gritty offering to the FPS genre. That grittiness cuts several ways, both in the story as well as in the game play. The story is actually pretty good. Far better than some of the more recent and forgettable stories from well known titles such as Medal of Honor and Call of Duty. Combined with the immense advertising spree prior to launch as well as the constant updates from the mysterious "Voice of Freedom" the player has a good understanding of what is happening in the story. The overall story and mission stays on track without going on any unneeded tangents. The backdrop of suburban America and the atrocities committed by the North Korean troops also hits very close to home. There were many times while I was playing that I felt outright shock and anger as to what was happening in the story. I can honestly say that I've never felt such strong emotion while playing a game as I felt while working my way through the single player.
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."
