If I met her, I would literally pimp slap her. Basically she doesn't like anything and doesn't like change.

This comment gets points for making me laugh out loud

UrbanJabroni6505d ago

I wasn't going to read this article, but your post made me think you were over-reacting. You weren't. She really does hate everything. I'm not entirely sure why she plays games to begin with...

calderra6505d ago

Right now, I can't play my 360 because my girlfriend is trying to get past the last level on Feeding Frenzy.

Girls don't like 360?
BS. I wish they'd stop liking it as much as they do! Heh.

My wife hate's the Shark King. But she's trying to get that 1000 Shark eating achievement. Who said achievements weren't convincing?

Its about her being a sony fanboy/girl/whatever. There is no such thing as a Girl game. People have different tastes and she won't even give xbox brand a chance. Just like any other extreme fanboy. Its just the way it is. People stick to what they are used to untill their friends and the hype builds. Then she/he will jump in on the bandwagon. Before she liked sony she liked somthing. And sony become popular and the "in" thing and she got one. But to say girls don't like FPS's or Horror games is ridiculous. there are millions of girls who are into the same games guys are into. There are guys who don't like FPS's. Whether your a girl or a guy is irrelevant.

UrbanJabroni6505d ago

Probably has something to do with this...

"She is one of the youngest on the staff, and a junior at Canyon Crest Academy."

The younger crowd grew up with Playstation as their first console, and tend to skew very anti-Microsoft.

Those of us that have been with this industry for decades seem to be more open with what we like...

But her article isn't just pro-Sony, it is more "Pro-I-Hate-Everything.&q uot;

specialguest6505d ago

she's a girl gamer and she doesn't like a lot of what Xbox 360 has to offer in gaming. who are we to say she's wrong for not liking games that mainly appeal to guys. (guns, blood, gore, killing) sure you can say that there are other games like RPG and puzzle, but 1-3 of those is not enough.

ImTheNumber126505d ago

You can't resist. What games does she play. She hates so many. She stated that she had so many games for the ps2 and than said how much she dislikes every genre.

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.

Dawn of The First Day
-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.
