I did this , it was fun!

Does anyone know when the download codes for the t-shirts will be sent out?

Any mention of which country won the xbox nations?

OliverKO4740d ago

I also participated - it was pretty cool knowing that at least thousands of other people were also in there, all contributing to a world record. ;)

Sorry, I don't think they've announced when the shirts will be sent out, or which country has won just yet - we're waiting on press release so maybe they'll let us know then.

Kingdom Come4740d ago

Congratulations to those involved. I was busy on the Gears of War 3 Beta...

OliverKO4740d ago

Haha - that's what I played *after* the record attempt! ;)

mcstorm4740d ago

I missed this as I was out but I think it was a good thing to do and I know a few people said they enjoyed it. I think this is a good idea and I think MS should do more things like this for more games on the 360.

My younger sister said she had a great time doing it. Although, I was upstairs with my gears 3 beta :)

Kinect Represented Rare's Need to 'Do Something Different'

Craig Duncan reflects on Kinect and the cool things Rare was able to accomplish with the Kinect Sports games.

PhoenixUp2217d ago

Kinect Sports was the most successful property that Rare had on an Xbox platforms 😒

mcstorm2215d ago

But like it or not kinect sports was probably the best game that came out for kinect and sales show that. It may not of been there best ever game but than again the best games made don't always sell that well.

DivineAssault 2215d ago

Rare is washed up.. That was a company i thought would give MS some unique exclusives after the buy out.. Unfortunately they became a shell of their former selves.. I have no clue why MS would assign kinect games to a team like that smh

jagermaster6192215d ago

I don't care what anyone says about rare because I'm actually really liking Sot. Yeah it could use some things in future updates but so far it's fun!

Grabbed by the Ghoulies is still a fun game to play.

Sciurus_vulgaris2394d ago

I played through Grabbed by the Ghoulies via Rare Replay. I found Ghoulies to be descent, solid graphic, music and art, with tedious, repetitive gameplay.

PhoenixUp2394d ago

You forgot to mention Donkey Kong Country 1-3 remakes, Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Sabre Wulf, Banjo-Pilot, It's Mr. Pants, Diddy Kong Racing DS, & Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise.

Yeah they aren't on Xbox platforms, but it's still worth mentioning all the projects they've produced since the acquisition.

FallenAngel19842393d ago

Remember when Rare was a more respected developer in the industry than Naughty Dog?

The_Jackel2393d ago

Remember how this was poster last week or the week before? :/

ZeroX98762393d ago

you gotta thanks Microsoft for that!
When Microsoft bought them in 2002, I knew it wasn't going to end up well.

chaos-emeralds2393d ago

RARE Who?...playtonic games is the new king of the old block.

PhoenixUp2393d ago

Playtonic is a far cry from golden age Rareware

nowitzki20042393d ago

Rare who? U cant be serious.....?

chaos-emeralds2393d ago

No im not, but I loved all the classic rare games up till n64. Yooka Laylee filled a lovely hole which hasn't been seen from rare for years. A shame really.

nowitzki20042393d ago

I can agree they haven't been themselves, but they have forever cemented their legacy in gaming. They will most likely never be the same again.
