After a long wait, the much anticipated new Splinter Cell game is here, and IGN has a review. It doesn't dissapoint.
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."
Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.
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
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!!!
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.

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.
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.

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.
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!
I've been looking forward to this one. Not surprised to see a glowing review for it. I've never been disappointed by any SC game this will be no exception.
I'm so pumped for this game and a 9.0 from ign is awesome they review really harshly at times im glad to see they loved it
The frame rate has issues (why is this all to common on the 360), and the single player game is only 8 to 10 hours in lenght?? Is this so that the devs can release map packs and charge us for more content?
I think this title holds promise, but a short single campaign, and frame rate issues puts me squarely on the fence. This 'next generation' of gaming appears to be one of nickel and diming the gamers. I hope I am wrong here, bu it does not appear so.
Expect a map pack release in the next 3 months for 12 bux or so (just like with GRAW).
I was TOTALLY STOKED about this game ... THEN ... I played that horid DEMO.
Not only was it to damn dark, but the graphics did not do much for me either. The one thing that really caught my eye was the mussle flashed ... they looked terrible.
For those who have the game .... is the DEMO just a bad demo or is this what I can expect "IF" I was to buy the game???
The fact it was scored so high tells me the Demo MAY NOT be a good guide to judge by.
Myself, I did not see any framrate issues.
If it is .. I will save my money for a different title.
i haven't even beaten Chaos Theory yet, so i know i'm gonna wait for this one. may get it sometime in December. great score, though i didn't read the entire review. i hope what nodoze says isn't true...that the single-player game is only 8-10 hours? if so then i probably will wait a bit, until Ubisoft release some extra maps, missions etc. via Live.
