"The front page of Britain’s The Sun newspaper ran with a story this morning on its front page saying that “online crooks have hacked into thousands of Xbox LIVE accounts to steal millions of pounds. The average loss to gamers in the UK is around £100 — but many have had more than £200 stolen.” When we saw the news, the tea almost fell out of our hands. Only with a bit of further reading, it becomes apparent that Xbox LIVE hasn’t been hacked — Gamers have."
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
The Sun just used social hacking on us lol.
It does seem that an increasing number of people don't know what "Hacked" means.
I wonder what kind of effect this will have on Microsoft.
Lol at the title.
media needs to know that phishing is not = to hacking
Yes, the Sun was a bit misleading, but the legal definition of hacking is intentionally accessing a computer or account without authorization (abridged version). Some of the most notorious "hackers" used social engineering, is that not hacking either? Hacking isn't just about writing programs to exploit a security loophole.
