Rare Gamer:
It’s been ten years since the last Star Wars film, and it’s been thirty-two years since the last good Star Wars film, and today the Space Opera series that started a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away gets another entry with Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In order to celebrate the latest release under a spangly new Disney moniker, we’ve used the Force and other Jedi mind tricks to uncover five cheeky references that have been hidden in your favorite Rare titles of yesteryear. Allusions to Darth Vader, cryptic Storm Trooper Easter Eggs as well as several extremely clever nods reserved for only the most hardcore Star Wars fans are waiting to be discovered! As C-3PO would say, “Here we go again…”
BLG writes: "The original titles are classics with near-infinite replayability. Later releases, however, have stumbled. Usually, they’re hampered by attempted innovation with new control schemes or gimmicks. Still, there’s a lot to enjoy with the beloved Nintendo franchise. To celebrate, we’re going to rank the best Star Fox games in the franchise. To come up with the order, we’re mixing in a little bit of Metacritic ranking and author opinion."
From Xbox Wire: "The July Games with Gold lineup is here! On the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, explore a mysterious, strange world in Planet Alpha, and create your own levels and destroy everyone else’s in Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break. And for our classic lineup via Backward Compatibility, play as everyone’s favorite raunchy squirrel in Conker: Live & Reloaded, and relive the golden age of arcade gaming in Midway Arcade Origins."
Confession time... I never played the original Conker on N64 and I did not play the xbox remake. It wasnt until Rare Replay that i played a Conker game. I do enjoy the Midway arcade series though. And that Planet Alpha looks kind of intriguing.
That Rock of Ages is sad, though. But, yeah, the other stuff isn't necessarily bad, just somewhat niche in market reach potential.
Microsoft has added touch control support for several Xbox Game Pass titles for Android including (among others) Call of the Sea and Genesis Noir.
Tocuh controls are usually iffy at best. I haven't tried them in while. I might give them a whirl.
