"As 2007 draws to a close, the staff at Planet Xbox 360 begins its look back at what was probably one the best years in console gaming history; at least for Xbox 360 owners. While Sony scuffled with lost exclusives and ever-changing hardware configurations, and developers struggled with designing quality games for the Wii, Xbox 360 gamers reaped the benefits of a system already a year into its lifecycle. No matter which game genres you prefer, 2007 produced multiple titles worthy of your hard-earned currency. Over the next few weeks, the staff of PX360 will present the games that they feel earned special recognition in 2007. Hopefully you haven't mailed your letter to Santa just yet, as there may have been a few games you missed this year that are worthy of every gamer's library."
In part 1, Planet Xbox 360 picks:
• Best Xbox Live Arcade Game of 2007
• Best Alternative Sports Game of 2007
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
EA has introduced fully functional microtransactions in the Closed Alpha for its upcoming free-to-play title, Skate.
What do you mean by "more money"? It's a free-to-play game. No one paid anything to be in the closed beta. All purchases made during the closed beta will be converted back to in-game currency for players to re-use however they wish after launch.
More money than what EA is giving them to make the game. Didn't think id have to spell it out. How's about they finish the damn game first before asking people to dump money into it. It's not like they need the cashflow to get across the finish line, it's EA not some indie studio, or crowdfunded project
Or maybe it's a playtest and they want to play test the store to make sure it works before launching. Because if they launched the game and the store was broke you'd all be making silly comment about that. "tHeY dIdn'T eVeN TeSt ThE sToRe bEfoRe lAunCh."
Is anyone really surprised? This is the same company that once considered charging for every time you reload your weapon in Battlefield. These guys are the worst.
Microtransactions in EA Skate include bundles worth up to 20 US Dollars, with in-game credits apparently being difficult to earn.
