BNG's Tyler Treat writes, "Now, Xbox 360 fanboys, before you start your raving, I ask that you hear me out on this. Once you get to the end of the article, you can start your horn-tooting. PS3 fanboys, before you start calling Natal a glorified EyeToy, first ask yourself why anyone want to copy that crap, then note that I have a tendency to be sarcastic, then note that this is not an article designed to bash (or praise) anyone. Just hit the back button on your browser if that's why you're here. Lastly, Wii fanboys – who am I kidding, there's no such thing as a Wii fanboy (editor's note to self: expect sarcasm to be greatly overlooked here)."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.

looooooooooooool
you guys really got to read this

Hey Droids you forgot the DILDO WAND...HAHAHAHAHA
"Aaron Greenberg needs to stop talking"
Natal would be dead in the water on arrival.
microsoft doesn't have enough studios,and there aren't a lot of great game designers that make family fun games in america and UK.it's always "shoot first,ask questions later"games.
name some family fun games that would gather mass appeal from american companies outside of nintendo and sony?now compare that to the dozens upon dozens of shooting games made for pc and console.big difference. huh?
without japan,natal is dead.now,in the "land of mario",quirky games are a dime a dozen.there's so many sacarin sweet games for the family that you could PUKE SUGAR.they take **RISKS** over there when the game might not sell millions.but it's made anyway.natal needs that type of support.it's not like microsoft has developers like nintendo does.and they sure don't have the amount of franchises and experience like sony and its devs have.
as for this shrinking market talk.japan's market is not shrinking,it's CHANGING.they buy more portables than consoles.japanese people are always on the go.they want their games to go with them.but they also got tired of the same content being pushed out over and over.which was why the tokyo game show attendance was getting so low before nintendo released the wii.
japan might help natal.it might not.but first.......IT'S GOT TO WORK.and so far no one has seen 2-4 players offline.and if any market was ***shrinking***,i would say it's 360's fanbase in japan.
