The 360 was also the home to a surprising number of hardcore Japanese shoot-em-ups, including the only non-ludicrously expensive version of Radiant Silvergun, as was often lamented by Greg on RFN.

It's some kind of legacy of PS1 era Sony shunning 2d games in favour of 3d. Which led to Saturn becoming shmup haven.

Xbox inherited that position.

I don't think 90's Sega still existed by the time Xbox had come out, if they did there wouldn't have been an Xbox and Saturn/Dreamcast would have lasted a lot longer than they did. 90's Sega is what almost killed Sega what they are today is still better than what they almost became.

I'm talking about sega's software.  Sega was still producing decent titles, still had their teams together--nowadays, Sammy sega is all about the arcade gambling machines . 

[NWR_insanolord]

Sega put out some pretty good stuff on the Xbox, though. Panzer Dragoon Orta, for instance, which I always wanted to play but didn't have an Xbox and once I got my 360 I didn't really feel like tracking down a copy. That game really should've been on XBLA as an Xbox Original.

yeah they also put out Toe Jam and Earl 3 on Xbox.

Best SEGA game ever: Spider-Man The Video Game.

the one for 32X?

[BranDonk Kong]

Arcade.

[oohhboy]

More pictures of joy.



Also: Never forget.

[Adrock]

Every single one of those people in green shirts is reevaluating the choices they made in life.

[Ymeegod]

The free game promo started today and those Madden/Xbox one combo packs are nearly sold out.  Best deals so far is either ordering through MS store, you'll get the same deal as retailers but MS is throwing in $50 MS XBOX LIVE credit or ordering it through BestBuy who's throwing in 2 year sub for GCL (supposedly an $120 value).

Expect a big boost in both Xbox One and PS4 NPD numbers for September.

That Peggle 2 announcement has to be the most awkward trade show moment since Michael Bay's epic fail with Samsung.

[Sarail]

Oh my. That poor sap really did shout 'PEGGLE 2!' and proceed to fist pump into axe chop the ground? Ugh.

[shingi_70]

Unsure if Peggle 2 or this year's EA conference was sadder.

Been enjoying the X1 so far.

[oohhboy]

Yes, Peggle 2 was that sad. If he broke his legs on landing, I might pity him.

Edit:Bye Bye cake!

They were too cheap to send this to the internal proofreader.

[Khushrenada]

Yes, Peggle 2 was that sad. If he broke his legs on landing, I might pity him.

Ha ha ha. I'm picturing him lying on the stage shouting out in pain, "My legs are broken! My legs are broken!" while the Ode to Joy music is blaring out to the audience. That probably would have got them to cheer. What a missed opportunity.

Urghghgh. Man, does this crap disgust me. I want to punch whoever came up with this. So, uh, happy birthday. Here's a gift we'd like to give you. First, print off a frame with our logo all over it using your own printer ink and paper. What you can do with it is then stick you face in the frame and take a picture of yourself to show what a consumer whore you are. But don't just keep that knowledge to yourself. Send us a copy so we can laugh at how stupid looking and gullible you are for doing this. Of course, we won't actually retweet it. We'll just stick with our preselected and previously taken photos from the modeling agency we used to make up stock of this crap to ensure we keep putting out the message and image we want without any risk of controversy. You know, like a black person's picture getting used. Thanks again for being willing to advertise for us for free and get nothing out of it. Thanks also for giving us your money. Here's to you giving even more of it next year. Happy birthday Xbox user 487,653. From your friends, Xbox Marketing Dept.


I mean, really. Who does that crap even impress or cause goodwill with?

Nope, Ubisoft Laser Tag and the weird **** konami did a few years back is even more akward.

*since*

Anyway, I saw two dudes waiting outside Best Buy for Destiny. Just them. Pretty sure Target was already selling it.

[pokepal148]

If this isn't BS then F you Microsoft

[BranDonk Kong]

I have never and will never play Minecraft, but god for this guy if Microsoft buys it.

[ShyGuy]

Yeah, that would be a bummer. I'm guessing content updates to Minecraft would stop and Minecraft 2 would be exclusive to Microsoft platforms and Notch would ride off into the sunset with his billions and maybe Jeb.

[pokepal148]

[Luigi Dude]

2 billion for Mojang is the kind of bone head decision I can see Microsoft doing.  Once again they have no understanding of how the videogame industry actually works.  They think, wow, Minecraft is extremely popular right now, lets spend as much money as possible to make it exclusive without realizing just what made Minecraft so popular in the first place.

I'm sure the shareholders who already think Microsoft spends too much on videogames are going to be real happy they just wasted a few more billion on something gaming related that isn't going to come close to making up what was spent.

[pokepal148]

No, the big advantage minecraft has is it's platform availability. If Microsoft tries to lock it to Windows/Xbox then they've already lost.
