Xbox Live is the online platform for the Xbox 360 that allows people to play against each other online, chat across games, and manage their friend list. Xbox Live is also a for-pay service, costing around $5 a month depending on where and how you purchased your subscription. Microsoft has successfully created a service that offers much of what other services like the PlayStation Network and Steam give away for free, but the company didn’t stop there. The other way Xbox Live is being monetized is the sale of advertising.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Wow, they are raking in the dollars from those advertisers. I work for a media company and those #'s are insane. I mean off your rocker, strait in the looney bin, do not pass go, do not collect $200 insane.
The more these companies pay for it the more it will go up too.
I wonder how many will actually read the article instead of post something about the Xbox 360 lacking games due to the title on this article?
There is a full section for games on the dash, I do hope the forthcoming update lets you arrange things a bit better like this thread suggests. http://opa-ages.com/forums/...
That being said, I pretty much know where I'm going when I turn on my Xbox 360, I'm in the loop when there is an arcade game releasing. I am usually about to either play a game or use a service. Its fairly easy, and the ads don't bother me. Ads are everywhere, I mean literally everywhere, yet everyone tries to make such a huge deal out of the ones on the friggen Xbox Live dash. Yes you pay for XBL, but there are tons of ads in things you pay for, cable, satellite, phones, movies, EVERYTHING.
this is evil i really doubt im going to renew my xbl membership
This is just sad
