The Sixth Axis writes: "Here at TSA we like to think we're an open-minded bunch of guys. We don't really have any particular ties to any one system apart from the obvious fact that we like talking about the PS3 on the site – we're certainly not official in terms of PlayStation reporting and there's nothing stopping us flicking a switch one day that means we're now able to start writing about other consoles. Naturally, most of our readership are PS3 fans, so we'll always concentrate on making sure you guys are getting the most out of your big black box, but we're far from fanboys, so here's the first in a series of sideways looks at the competition: the Xbox 360.
For some reason, the playground rivalry that existed when I was a kid – the ZX Spectrum vs the Commodore 64 – is still thriving, but the advent of the internet has meant that instead of scrapping on the hopskotch chalk we're slinging insults from the safety of our keyboard. Whilst the Wii enjoys a slightly off-kilter fanbase that doesn't concern itself with the goings-on in the wonderful world of HD gaming, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 fanbases are often entirely mutually exclusive, and for all the wrong reasons. Here's the bit that might shock you: I personally don't have a preference for either console, and here's why I think you shouldn't either."
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
Depends on what you like. Not everyone needs a 360 and PS3.
I agree with Llyod on the 1st comment. ( THATS A CHANGE)
Agree with Toast to and DragonWarrior.
The points givin were
Exclusive Games
Better Multiformat Titles
Live Arcade
For the people who will comment , you can't really front on the site it's from thesixthaxis.com
but yeah like Llyod said It's not everybody that is willing to Spend money for another console just to play a Few exlusive games that are not available on their console.
I'm looking foward into owning all of them at one point though.
Uncharted2 / SplinterCell Combo FTW.
I already have a paperweight for my desk.
xbox live,xbl is an amazing online experince
360 also has amazing exlusives coming,the amazing looking convection,halo odst looks so much fun,alan wake looks so unique,forza 3 which looks incridable and mass effect 2 which looks to fix every
technical issue seen in me1
to be honest,the xbox 360 is a must have system and it's cheap price and guys believe me,a service like xbl would make a fresh new game like MW2 a much better experince,it's all connected
Commodore 64 all the way. the commodore's graphic chip set was able to handle a 8 coloured 16x16 sprite with a FPS clocking near 5. While the spectrum could only handle 8 colours in a 8x8 sprite and FPS of 2.
You been PWND spectrum!!!
