Thanks to a weekly release of titles, the Xbox Live Arcade library is quickly growing to include a number of coin-op classics such as Ms. Pac-Man, Frogger and Galaga, as well as some newer releases including AstroPop and Lumines Live!. Many of these games are fantastic recreations of their arcade counterparts, but one of the most common criticisms regarding their gameplay has to do with the D-Pad on the Xbox 360 controller being, well, awful.
Thanks to the fact that the default Xbox 360 controller has one of the worst D-Pads anyone has ever played, many of Xbox Live Arcade's games are somewhat frustrating to play since they don't quite seem to have the feel we'd hope for. Hoping to give Arcade gamers a solution for this, well-known hardware manufacturer MadCatz has developed their version of a classic-style arcade controller designed specifically for the Xbox 360.
TeamXbox recently spent a weekend checking the MadCatz Arcade GameStick out to see how well it fared.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
post your opinions. It looks interesting.
I just dont know if I can justify the price of this thing ($60 bucks) but it does look interesting
but it looks alright. At least it matches the 360 feel. Though I think it has too many buttons for a joystick. I mean if you're only going to use it for old arcade games, why the thumbstick and extra analog pad. With the joystick that's three ways to move, overkill?
and it shoul have placed a 6 button configuration instead of only 4. Still can't see how this will help with SF2.
I'm really glad I bought the Hori DOA 4 joystick last year... it's AWESOME for arcade games that demand an 8 point joystick. Unfortunately, I don't think it's for sale anymore...
