A LAD of 20 has been killed by a blood clot caused by playing his Xbox for up to 12 hours at a time.
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.
Boy, these "Death by Xbox" stories sure are popular
Lad?
A grown adult who chose to spend 12 hours a day playing video games, died of a blood clot from sitting in one place too long... which could equally have been caused by TV, reading, yoga etc
Lack of exercise/movement is to blame, not games.
Sad case though, make sure you are doing a little lower leg movement during long game sessions.
These kinds of stories are just not gaming related at all. Sure he was gaming a lot, but that doesn't really make it news for gamers...
Isn't this already reported once? http://n4g.com/news/814858/...
