David Sheets of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
By now, the word has trickled into every crack and corner of the Internet that Microsoft is developing a motion-sensitive wand controller for its Xbox 360 console, and that the prototype design fairly resembles the wand available for Nintendo Wii...
Because the report goes against Microsoft's earlier position that motion-sensitive controllers were not on the horizon for Xbox 360 (but perhaps for its hoped-for replacement, the Xbox 720) and has no credible sources cited, gaming pundits were quick to jump on it and affix their own question marks: Is this good for Microsoft? Will Xbox 360 regain and keep the top spot among gaming consoles? Does Nintendo have anything to fear?
Well, in Game Guy's opinion, the answer is "no" to all three, because one huge problem still stands in the way of any new technology helping lift Xbox 360's fortunes: the Xbox itself.
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
I understand where the author is coming from but his views have a few flaws.The jasper should be released during the summer and it might get rid of the RROD problem,but won't be sure until a few months after it's release.
Company's like Microsoft are massive with huge Research and development facilities.if they stumble on to something that believe will move the game on for them,then no harm done.
Because if the jasper equipped units work and the motion controller works,then it would be a win win situation for all.All we can do now is to wait and see how they both turn out.
Is it really that bad? I mean I bought the 360 back June 2007, I had RRoD once, I sent it to them and they fixed it and I got it back in 6 days. Its working fine since then. Yeah I know you have to take extra care of it, but still is it really that bad? or I am just lucky?
just reading the title: Agreed!! fix the 360, then start a new project!
You're not going to catch Decapitator or cyruss posting this fud no one is reading it they're ignoring it(not counting the run of the mill Sony trolls) you might as well post positive news, thats where the hits/point are.
Microsoft does not want to fix the 360.
