Ten Controller Smashing Moments on the Xbox 360

Some games seemed designed to push you to your wit's end. A lack of checkpoints, instant deaths, ungodly attacks and more are thrown at us gamers to keep us from achieving total victory. This is a list that celebrates (or mourns, depending on how you look at it) the top ten controller smashing moments on the Xbox 360.

I didn't want to make the headline too long but it is referring to game related moments. =)

Although that would be correct, the RROD is infuriating. Luckily, it has been taken care of (for the most part) by Microsoft. The problem was making the system work at an acceptable rate took roughly 4 years.

Lol Dude someone gave you a disagree for saying the RROD has been fixed. The fanboys on this site are hilarious. I would personally go for boosters in COD.

Whenever someone used to lag switch in Gears 2.
Every single time it got me so pissed.

greenlightgamer5582d ago

Gears 2 online before th third patch was a definite contender. But I'm just happy they put in so much work to fix it. Im hoping they keep that in mind before Gears 3 drops.

red2tango5582d ago

lol that comment is pathetic. the game is supposed to be working from the get-go. gears of war 2 was so unplayable and you're applauding epic games for finally getting it to work months after? pathetic...

I Think Call of Duty Zombies Is Lying to Us About These Huge Deaths

While Treyarch has seemingly already killed off the current Call of Duty Zombies crew, there may be more to their fate than meets the eye.

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

FullmetalRoyale7d ago

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

FullmetalRoyale7d ago

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Can we please ban this site?

Peter Molyneux recalls how Project Milo, the Kinect game with revolutionary promise, died a death

Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.

Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.

I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.

S2Killinit10d ago

Missed opportunity? They lied. It was the biggest lie in gaming history.

merlox9d ago

You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.

Remember Star Wars Kinect announcement? Biggest laughable acting seen

It was built on lies Peter...you know this.

isarai10d ago

Bro that thing NEVER existed, what we got was a concept video

Knushwood Butt10d ago

"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.

"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."

Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.

Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.

isarai10d ago

Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?

Amplitude9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
