In recent news Media Molecule, the once independent studio and developer of LittleBigPlanet, was acquired by Sony for an undisclosed amount. Many hailed the move as a great one by Sony, because now the only Platforms we'll ever play said title and the others the studio will undoubtedly forge will be Sony's.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
Gears of War 3 and Judgement servers have returned to their "updated" condition, adding several features, such as increased XP and more.
I currently play Gears 3 often, especially after the 60 FPS Boost. Gears of War is my favorite gaming franchise, and the Locusts are the coolest faction in history. Gears Judgment will always be a disgrace for not having the Locust in VS multiplayer.
GoW 3 and Judgement were the last installments before the series went woke and soulless. I'm level 50 in GoW 3 and LOVE it's multiplayer to death. It's just so crispy.
The Xbox 360 is one of the most successful consoles ever made, and the best games in its library are a huge part of why.
That is the most "normie" list that I ever saw. This does make some sense given the console in question, but still.
Might as well list it as the One's top twenty as well since all it had for games was backward compatibility.
Dear the guy who wrote this,
Did you play Unreal Tourney games?
If so, you wouldn't even consider that thought.
Don't worry MS is going to buy Epic soon real soon.
Epic is happy licensing its engine out to others. They make plenty of money from their games. I don't see why the board members from Epic would be interesting in selling their company to MS when they could make quite a fortune in just a few years from just licensing their products.
No reason at all. Or maybe I am misinformed and Epic is in some financial trouble. Maybe they fear that their reign as middle-ware proprietors is coming to an end with the rise of CryEngine3 or something else.
Microsoft would do wisely to buy somebody. Epic may be a good choice, but I think that they would be an expensive purchase. Instead, Microsoft could purchase a ton of smaller developers and studios and be able to churn out more exclusives.
News around GDC says Sony ain't through buying developers, either. Before years end Sony is set to acquire another one.
Sucker Punch? Level-5? Keep in mind "Ready at Dawn" has been abscent too. Oh, and Heavenly Sword 2 is 100% green lit for next year release aswell. Oh how I wonder what will be made of all this?
On topic.
As much as I would love to see Microsoft man up and start competing with Sony when it comes to developer acquisitions, I don’t think they are in any hurry yet.
I mean it’s easy to think that Microsoft aren’t doing anything for their first party, but they have just opened a second studio at Rare, along with creating two new studios Spawn point and Firebird.
Microsoft isn’t exactly sitting on their hands here.
