funny how 2 of those titles are developed by rare...oh how the mighty have fallen!

Anon19745491d ago

That's not good and it happened fast. Remeber how excited MS was about Lips and You're in a crappy B movie last year? Face it, the 360 just isn't for casuals.

Too bad, too. I bet these games could have had a life on the PS3 or Wii. Hell, Banjo probably would have done great on the Wii. Live and learn, I guess.

edgeofblade5491d ago

I'm personally surprised that You're In The Movies crashed and burned. That game should have been all over the PS Eye. If there was ever a game that would benefit from the awesome clarity of the Eye, it would be that game. Instead it got the crappy vision camera...

Anon19745491d ago

Is that MS's Games division being crushed under the cost of the 360 price cut?

:)

KRUSSIDULL5490d ago

Pretty cool that I already have all those games and they are great! :) Look at my gamertag if you dont beliv me.

Poor Banjo,I remember playing it on N64 and thinking to myself "WOW this is AWESOME!!"

Now all I see is Smokey the Bear building Cars with an Orange Bird breathing down his neck.What the f*ck happened?

Hopefully with this discount Nuts&Bolts will cross the 200,000 mark therefore making a sequel a consideration somewhere within Microsoft.Otherwise,I think Nuts&Bolts might be the last time we see the lovable Bear-Bird duo :(

Zeus Lee5491d ago

You're HONESTLY surprised that a casual game didn't do well on the Xbox 360?

Covenant5491d ago

Casual games can sometimes work on the 360...but as I noted below, You're in the Movies is crap.

Covenant5491d ago

Well, Banjo and Viva are definitely worth the cost, and maybe Scene It, as well. (I've enjoyed the new Scene It...better than the first one).

But You're In the Movies is shovelware. The 360 has some appeal to casual gamers, but crap like that is not how you cater to them.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer137d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog137d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned137d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c137d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb136d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal137d ago (Edited 137d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72136d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman137d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos136d ago (Edited 136d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows136d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Fable II - A Fantasy Series at Peak Performance

Fable II launched back in 2008 and remains the best the series has offered. Ahead of the series comeback, it's time to look at the classic.

Crows90300d ago

They gotta bring back those gargoyles!

Dudeson300d ago

I'd love to play it again, this time on pc though. Forever waiting on that pc port.

GaboonViper300d ago

Loved this game, oh and i always saved my dog at the end, hope the new Fable has a animal companion.

got_dam300d ago

Fable 2 was the best inthe series. Peter waaaaaaay over promised with fable 1 and it was good but disappointing. He didn't go crazy eith hype for the second game and it was surprisingly awesome. Then he ran his mouth promoting 3 and it was the worst of the 3.

cthulhucultist300d ago

Funny story: Fable 3 had a funny way of keeping the promises you made in the first half of the game and having enough money to defeat the darkness.

You only had to collect enough money to buy 2 stores in a busy market district. You then raise the prices to maximum and you turn xbox 360 internal clock 99 or more years ahead.

The next time you load the game, all the rents from the 99 years are collected immediately.

But yes I agree that 3 was the weakest of the three.

Demetrius300d ago

I only got to play it once 😩 I'm so tempted to buy a Xbox 360 slim but planning on getting the series x soon since I got a PS5 in February Im ready to get saints row 1&2 back, GTA 4, fable 2, but I also want to play infamous 1&2 again Sony screwed us over with the stream only for saints row 2 and other gems smh

The Halo Wars Formula Has Potential to Fit More Microsoft Franchises

Halo Wars is still widely considered one of the best and most accessible RTS games around, and that formula could work with other Microsoft IPs.

I think Crackdown would fit in a more turn-based tactics system via Xcom then a RTS type game play. Being able to customize multiple agents, deploying that group in an crime infested urban zone, going against other super powered enemy and fodder type thugs. The potential for that is huge if they won't do another successful, ground breaking, GOTY open world outing like Crackdown 3....

P_Bomb401d ago

I could see that. I feel like State of Decay could spin-off into something strategic as well.

giovonni401d ago

Actually that would be kind of fly if they made it a turn base RTS.

lellkay38d ago

Crackdown tactics would be legit!!
