Valve Software reveals the first screens of Half-Life 2: Episode on Xbox 360. Half-Life 2: Episode Two will be accompanied by Portal, also presented on these images, but also by awaited TEAM Fortress 2: Brotherhood of Arms. The game is also coming to the PS3 and of course PC but these new screens are from the 360 version.
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.

This is going to be sweet. After watching the TGS Portal and TF2 trailers on Live, I'm almost more excited about them than the actual HL2 game, which no doubt will be pretty wicked.
Half Life was one of my favorite games on PC. I bought Half Life 2 for PC and loved it! Even though I've played it on PC, I'm buying it for 360 because of the graphics overhaul and such. This series is one of the best ever. The scripted events in the games were fun to watch and I also enjoyed the wide variety of different weapons. The gravity gun? in Half Life 2 was awesome to play around with. You could pick up most objects on screen and throw them around the map and use them as projectiles to fight enemies. Man, I am looking forward to playing through HL2 again. Portal looks sweet, Episode 2 looks awesome from what I've seen in the trailer. Anything Half Life related is going to be good!
