We already knew this. Activision has said they are bringing Guitar Hero to "all major platforms" and 360 happens to be a major platform.

Affirmation's always good. I'm happy for you guys; I have a couple of friends in the opposite camp of the "console wars" who will finally get to play this game at home. I'm glad that songs can be downloaded; I always felt that if any game was destined for microtransactions, this was it.

I still hope that somewhere down the line (although it'd probably kill sales, and be unlikely), they'll release something that allows you to import your own mp3s into the game and create "tabs" for them (guitar players'll know what I'm talking about) that can be saved, or even uploaded to a community site or something. THAT'D be awesome.

I guess 360 gamers can now ROCK HARD!

Can anyone think of a way to "fix" the cool/lame system? As far as I can tell, the same idiots vote lame just to make an article look bad.

How in God's name is anything in this news lame, I though? Then I read the posts of the people that voted lame and quicly noticed I was looking at _complete_ PS3 fans with no open mind and an ovious inferiority complex when it comes to the 360.

I mean, who the hell chooses the name "PS3OWNESXBOX360?" and why should his "lame" vote on a 360 news article even be taken into consideration?

.... you will always have the pre-pubesent and the adult retards that do it just to be ... well ... fuk-tards.

I am glad this game is coming. This games is a FRIGGEN HOOT with buds and beers.

Siesser6512d ago

Sadly they exist :(. I'm a PS fan first, but try to remain open-minded. I have to admit it sucks when you want to talk about a game and the first five posts are about how horrible it is, and how it's not "worth $600 :\. I spend every day on the PS3 boards hearing how I'm blind, retarded, and "wasting my money." Meh

Anyways, at E3, they'd mentioned that playing online co-op wouldn't work, due to the latency and all (heck, when I tried to hook it up to the 1080p in the basement, it was horrible). But I wonder if there will be some way to, I don't know, play with friends still; if not together, then alternating. I wish online play would work cross-platform :(

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro242h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro242h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

franwex3h ago

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Lightning776h ago

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa235h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast3h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_2h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast2h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.
