The 37 media outlets voting for the Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 2006 are proud to announce this year's winning games.
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.
Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-
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!
There we go:
"Best Console Game
Gears of War
(Epic Games / Microsoft Games Studio for Xbox 360)"
"Best Action Game
Gears of War
(Epic Games / Microsoft Games Studio for Xbox 360)"
Sony got owned big time and Killzone 2 has never been seen again. Go out and buy a 360 now and Gears of War at the end of this year. It'll blow your mind as it did at the E3
If a 360 owner never bought any other game besides these two, it would still be VERY worth it. And yet, there is still so much more goodness coming. Good job MS.
Actually, PC owned the show if you want to down to it. Both M$ and Sony have good games coming out and it is a little early to say That Sony is out. Most of their Games they showed were early and new IP's that no one has heard of. And for people to sit here and say that sony won't have any good games and M$ will is nonsence. Plus Sony had 2 games on the list and the system not even out yet. I have a 360 and it's great but to say it will have all or even most of the good games is just stupid.
"Set aside your potty humor for a sec (Nintendo's Wii wins "Best Hardware"? Too easy...)"
I'm sorry but I can't set it aside. Hardware is exactly what the Wii doesn't have! It has innovation and attracts non-gamers because it looks fun. That doesn't mean though that the hardware is better than the PS3's or the 360's. What a joke. Everyone says the PS3 and 360 are just specs in comparison to the Wii. And somehow, they manage to give the specs award to neither of the two systems. It boggles the mind (and the controller is not "hardware"!).
Um buddy if you read the story, Microsoft won 8 awards, but hey nice try...
