The start of this year promised to have one of the best line up of game releases in a while. With sequels to some of the best games in previous years coming out nearly every month.
However it seemed that nearly every time these “hyped” games were released I was soon met with the disappointing reviews from gaming sites and magazines.
Read this article for some of the best, and the worst, games to come out this year.
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."
Mixed bag IMO.....first 3 months were not as good as 2010 with highly anticipated titles coming short of expectations(i.e.Crysis 2,DA 2 etc.).The next three months were better bcoz of titles like Witcher 2,Portal 2,
LA noire etc.But it has been great year for small game devs as plenty of indy titles were of superb quality.
Nah Bought nothing of it..
Just waiting for the top games.. Deus Ex , Battlefield 3 , Uncharted 3 , Modern warfare 3 , SKyrim
Its been pretty damn bad for blockbuster releases
bulletstorm = 0 profit
la noire - 0 profit studio goes bankrupt
kill zone 3 = 0 profit
Crysis 2 and DA 2 were terrible. LBP 2 had an amazing editor but the levels they included left alot to be desired.
Portal 2 was fine and so was witcher 2 and infamous 2. Pokemon was good, okamiden was good, radiant historia was good, trails in the sky was good, tactics ogre psp was good, recoded was good and a bunch of other things I am forgetting.
The best games this year so afar to me have been portable releases
Very good to me, list of games played:
Dead Space 2
Little Big Planet 2
Mass Effect 2
Two Worlds 2
Pixel Junk Shooter 2
Outland
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Killzone 3
Yakuza 4
