"Last Friday, Microsoft released a the comprehensive listing of changes in the newest Xbox 360 update (hit the link below for all of the technical dorkdom you can stand). Gaygamer skimmed the massive list and noticed something peculiar:
'Added support for Audio Mute/Unmute for video ads.'
Hmm...it looks like Microsoft will be stepping up their advertising a bit. Hopefully it won't become too obnoxious, and thankfully there's a mute option. But I'm thinking that the standard setting should be to "unmute" as opposed to "mute," if you know what I mean."
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.
People have to pay for Live and still get ads!?
WTF is this M$?
lol
Wow unlucky for Live players
I'm paying 80$ and i'm about to get pi$$d.
or you wouldn't sound so puzzled about this.
The ad's on the 360 dashboard are all game or movie related. There are several sections of the dashboard so this could be in-dash trailers of games or movies(if your on the Video Marketplace). The picture for this article is completely missing the mark. It's not like they are making us watch commercials like on TV.
And it's easy to turn the ad's off if you don't want them and they are giving you the option to mute them so it's not like they are forcing it down peoples throats.
I think it could be cool if they keep it game/movie/music related.
