Let's face it. This Recession sucks and the price of games isn't
getting any cheaper. It's still $50-$60 for a new game on a system that
you already paid hundreds of dollars to own. To make matters worse, if
you don't like the game the best thing you can do is trade it in for
1/3 of what you paid for it. It's a scam man.
There is hope though..
This generation of gaming has brought something great. Downloadable
videogames. These games usually cost no more than $15 and bring just as
much fun as a $60 title. You just use the online service provided by
the system to download these games. The best part? You don't have to get up and change the disc since the games download onto your systems hard drive.
BEWARE
A lot of these downloadable games are crap. This is where I need your help. Can anybody name some good downloadable titles on any of the major consoles?
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
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.
Flower for sure is worth every penny.
I also loved echochrome. I guarantee you've never played a puzzle game before like this. And I'm not even that big of a fan of puzzle games.
PixelJunk Eden was great. I haven't tried PixelJunk Monsters but I hear it's really good too.
Linger in Shadows. Best $3 I have ever spent. At first I "didn't get it" but after a little while with it I was hooked. Trophy hunting for that one was great.
The downloadable Ratchet & Clank game I loved. Runs butter, butter smooth. Some people said it wasn't worth the $15 for only 3 hours of play but I don't regret my purchase at all.
