A Halo RTS, a partnership with film director Peter Jackson and a price for the Xbox 360 HD DVD add-on are just a few of the announcements made at Microsoft's X06 briefing in Barcelona today. Here's a quick run-down...
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."
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.
Microsoft has slashed the prices of games across the Xbox 360 store in preparation for its July 29th closure.
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
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.
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.

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.
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.
He talks crap his whole idea on marketing the 360 is to tell lies, i mean for all we know the 360 will need the HD-DVD ad on and then what Sony wins, that would be funny!
Ah no wonder you hate Peter, He is way better than Kaz, And the 360 is way better than PS3.
Man I juss downloaded the X06 conference. They played assasins creed on 360 and it was amazing! Gameplay, visuals, it was all unbelievable. The stealth abilities are unmatched. I'm so happy microsoft secured this game for 360.
This is one of those things that goes off your radar but will likely be under your xmas tree. My dvd player is getting old, and if I ca get a cheap hd-dvd player that will also upconvert regular dvd's...well, that's tough to say no to.
And I know Sony people will say "ha! You're spending more money!" Well, that's true...but not everyone has to.
It's funny to see a Sony fan talk about telling lies.
