Looking back to the Animated Hi-Jinks of the Disney Pixar Cars Games

Paul writes: "If you are going to watch an animated film, it really has to be one of the Pixar ones, and the finest of those films that feature living automobiles is the Cars franchise. My son and I loved these films, and as you can imagine, the money making machine of the games industry wasn't slow to catch on to the possibilities of a Cars-based video game (or two or three or... ). So, come with me to a world that was dominated by the animated hi-jinks and the racing based fun times of Cars."

A Look Back at Disney Games on PlayStation Handhelds

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "There are few brands out there that have anything like the appeal and recognition of Disney. Thanks to decades of beautiful and critically acclaimed animated films, the company is a household name that has expanded beyond just movies to include a variety of other ventures, including videogames. Disney has also grown its lineup considerably in recent years by acquiring Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars (although for the purposes of this article, I’ll only be covering Disney/Pixar output).

Thanks to their broad audience, Disney games usually show up on every viable platform out there, meaning that despite the brand’s affinity with Nintendo’s younger-skewing audience, both the PSP and Vita received a number of titles throughout their lives. Some of this was through Disney's own developer/publisher (Disney Interactive Studios), but the firm also licensed out its IPs for other companies to try their hand at – with somewhat mixed results."

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for April 2018 any good?

Carlos writes "So far, 2018 has proven to be a bit of hit when it comes to the games offered via the Xbox Games With Gold program, with some cracking titles such as Superhot, Shadow Warrior, and Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India all bringing incredible adventures to Xbox Live Gold members for no extra cost at all.

Do people still care about gamerscore?

The_Jackel2216d ago

gamerwhat? lol its like trophies/achievements i dont really care about them but then you have people that go nuts for them and try to get them all

PurplePeopleEaters2216d ago

Im sure there are people who do....

GamesMaster19822216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

Of course people do it gives anotherwise game you paid all that money on more lease of life more reson's to replay and experience stuff that you might not of seen otherwise. I always play my game's the way i want first to experience the story then if i really like it i will go for all the trophys/Achievments.

letsa_go2216d ago

I was talking about gamerscore though, not achievements...although I agree with what you are saying. I agree that they give you something else to work towards once you finish the game...but do you care about the score you get from it? Like, my gamerscore is 27161 but does that matter? Do I get anything for it? I remember last gen people were trying to get the highest score, but that doesn't really seem like a thing people do anymore. At least from what I have seen.

@letsa_go

Gamerscore now earns you money on the rewards site. I've made a few quid and I'm not even an achievement hunter.

Null19802216d ago

I game on both, but I have to say that unlocking a Platinum feels like much more of an accomplishment. To me, it's my gaming legacy. Someone can look at my list and see the games I really loved, which games I was willing to push myself to ace.

I never got into superficial buffing of gamerscore or trophies, like for instance, Greg Miller formerly of IGN. I'll never forget his Platinum of Hannah Montana the Game JUST to get a Platinum. Haha. Just... no. For me, only games I really enjoyed.

cfc832216d ago

They're alright. I've never set out to get points or achievements though. It's just quite good they're there.

zerocarnage2216d ago (Edited 2216d ago )

There are those that go nuts for gamescore, I myself used to be a gamerscore whore but no more, I just play games and if the score and achievos happens then that's it, I won't go out of my way and spend hours/days/months to work on an achievo no more.

On Xbox, dno about PlayStation, there is even a leader board for gamerscore that is updated every month on who brings the most score in. So yeah it's competitive enough I spose.

Even looks like Microsoft are changing the rewards again, well at least the name from Xbox live rewards to Microsoft rewards, makes it sound a bit more universal for all there devices they're on.

Universal 082216d ago

I used to care back on the 360, on xb1 its not really the focus for the system so I dont care other than to finish games

Kavorklestein2215d ago

I'd actually argue that the Xbox One is MORE focused on achievments.
Games have trackers, rare achievements, global percentages, competitive leaderboards for gamerscore, and integration with tru achievements.

It's more about gamerscore than ever before.

Definitely. The Witness is one of the best games this generation and Syndicate is a lot of fun. Both GWG and PS Plus are actually great this month. It's nice to see that both services are consistently offering great games that people really would like to play now because they've both had some rough periods.

PhantomS422216d ago

Haven't play Syndicate so it'll be nice to finally check that out and Dead Space 2 is amazing so not a bad month.

SkippyPaccino2216d ago

Xbox definitely has the edge this month...

GamesMaster19822216d ago

in my opinion as a mainly Playstation player this month's games i think Xbox win's.
