In this exclusive interview with Shane Kim (conducted at E3), the Microsoft Game Studios GM says that Sony is under a lot of pressure and will face some big manufacturing challenges. He also discusses the 360 and Windows games portfolio, HD-DVD, Live Anywhere, Bill Gates at E3, among other topics. Dig in and enjoy!
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.
But two things I'm confused on. 1) I want to know how is there going to be a 160 HI DEF games by the end of the year. Even if you add whats out I don't think there that many. 2). He brings up GTA IV like it is an exclusive title. I thought that it was coming out for both The 360 and PS3. If I'm wrong than my bad.
It is coming to both platforms, but you have to pay $600 to play it on the PS3. I'm sure those games include the XBox Live Arcade games as well.
It just means we will get downloads people on the ps3 won't get.
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
I think its 160 games with the arcade titles.
