The fact is all of the indie Minecraft knockoffs were super successful prior to Minecraft coming to the 360, so it was the perfect storm when it arrived.
I think it's cool the 360 got Witcher 2 and Minecraft this year..would have never played them otherwise.

ME2 was simply phenominal..one of the best experiences I've had gaming in my entire life.
The ME franchise has it's own lane that nobody has come close to emulating.
Can't wait till one day I have the time to do replay the entire series all over again.

I wouldn't be mad it it did end up being GOTY..love this franchise

Loved every minute I played of Rage..didn't finish because it came out in the middle of a zillion great games around the same time..Elder Scrolls put the nail in the coffin for my gaming time for the rest of that year and beyond.
It should have received more love, there were times I was in awe at the gorgeous graphics..
They should be proud..

Nothing here means that they are going to release it before 2014.
But, Microsoft is definately in a great place between releasing W8, Surface, the Dash Smart Glass, and ultimately the 720.
The system will definately show at E3..but if Wii-u doesnt dominate this year then it remains to be seen what'll happen.
They are poised for a great Fall and Holiday..but next year is also going to be huge.
You are talking about Halo 4...
'LOL, NBA2k and MW3.....so typical..'
Yup so typical of both consoles..

Nothing has changed..
The original Resident Evil launched the genre..
The first two Silent Hills took it to a new level
The original Fatal Frame and still the hands down champ (IMO) was so beyond scary that people couldn't finish it.
The original and best F.E.A.R. introduced PC and later console owners to Alma and some genuine scares packed into a shooter.
Condemned as a launch for the 360..sti...
Fanbloggers can come up with a billion reason why they believe trophies are better it won't change how addictive and fun collecting achievements have been on the 360 since day one.
Live made the achievement system what they are today and hardcore 360 gamers cherish them with their life.
I said it for years...achievements are crack..people think its just a score but its so much more than that for gamers on Live. I love my PS3 slim but achievements are t...
I agree..
The reply from Twisted Pixel was priceless. The media (especially sites like Kotaku) will throw anyone under the bus if it provides hits to their site.
They could care less about developers or their livelihood. They could careless about gamers. It's all about hits for their site.
They will stoop to levels of leaking everything about a game to make a buck , and then turn around and pretend Square Enix should have uttered ...
'How many games is it up against to win such a title?'
Both the last two NBA 2Ks were Move compatable. And as for people clamouring for it, who are you to say they are not.
It's just a fun alternative to playing with the controller. The world wasnt 'clamouring' for a 'fake bowling' game when Wii Sports came out either..but you didn't see people whine that they could play the 'real thing instead'.
Lol @ the Kinect hate in the article...
Kinect Sports 2's DLC quietly added basketball and it's the best motion control basketball there out there. It isn't the full game it emulates the allstar game 3-point contest, which NBA Live used to include back in EAs earlier titles.
Kinect could easily be used for foul shots which would actually be a blast. But nobody is really jumping all in with Kinect this far. People bash RARE for developing K Sport...
Great article..
Always wanted to know how Playground games ended up with that much talent.
Really look forward to this gem that Forza Horizon is turning out to be.

LMAO @ Levelhead typing this comment from Thisisabsolutelythetruth.com..

Ilaugh at this fake 'nre IP' stance that people keep talking.
New IPs come out yearly in droves and no one pays attention to them.
New IPs come out for the 360 and the PS3 at the same rate.
But they announce two games one was announce literally 2 years before it will hit retail and then people started this claim.
Non-360 gamers don't play ANY IP on the 360 but they are pretending they want more IPs.
...
LMAO @ the all the hypocritical whining about timed DLC that makes it to the 360, when NO ONE said a peep when Sony announced timed DLC for both Assasin's Creed 3 and Far Cry 3 this year.
They BOTH use exclusive DLC to promote games..get over it..it won't be the first or last time it happens for EITHER console..not the end of the world..
Been too busy trying to play other games than Elder Scolls and Mass Effect 3..but definately getting the 'D...
Nope ME3 is still one of the best games of 2012..period. That doesn't take away from 'Journry's accolades it deserves.

@ aIBreeze,
No matter how 'new' this 4 day profile you have is you KNOW that it's not the truth regardless of how it's spun.
Who cares if you hate the releases or whether they are console exclusives or not this year for the 360 thus far but Alan Wake, Trials Evolution, Witcher 2, and Minecraft arent Kinect games. and that isn't close to all of them, especially when you bring in XBLA.
But they did release Kinect games...
Dead Island has become one of my favorite gaming gems this entire gen.
I bought it last year not too long after launch, but was bombarded with so many games it ended up in my backlog. But, many of my friends on LIVE were like completely absorbed with it.
I finally got to it after my Elder Scroll/Mass Effect 3 blackhole of gaming time wore off.
WOW..I absolutely love it. There is suchan upside at to what they can improve but what is there no...
Doesnt need to be fixed..absolutely loved it..my fave multiplayer experience this year, Who knew?
Evil
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
The ONE game that looked to be one of the defining moments this gen...This one hurt BAD..
But hope it truly is still in development...fires up PS3 Slim and starts to play SOTC HD in 3D while drinking heavily..
