Games and software launched on Microsoft's Games for Windows and Xbox LIVE Marketplace and Xbox LIVE Arcade digital distribution channels typically launch simultaneously in both North American and European territories. However, with the North American release of Game Room having arrived early this morning, European gamers may have feared an extended delay. Thankfully, that's not the case, as the European Xbox LIVE Arcade and Games for Windows Marketplace has now been updated, and the highly-anticipated Game Room feature is now available for download.
It has been 10 years since Game Room released on Xbox 360. Josh Miller of VGU.tv discusses it's potential and why it deserves to return.
Would you play more Xbox indie games if they had achievements? Official Xbox Magazine spoke with developers for why indie games need achievements and how best to implement them.
Bit-Tech: "When I was first shown the offensive messages that my friend Jaspir received, I laughed. Their crudeness was so hilariously over-the-top that it was nothing short of ridiculous. I had been told many times by people I know and trust that online games are a wild and untamed jungle, with pictures of genitalia hiding around every corner.
But it wasn’t until I was actually shown the messages that I really understood. Something finally clicked."
women out of the kitchen and playing video games

"Don't worry dear you didn't burn the Beer".

Basically the article just reminds me why i refuse to game on Xbox or Xbox Live.
Linkin 6 echo's comment was so random its actually kind of funny.
PickaBOSS's comment is hilarious
Oh I can't be arsed to read the entire article, is this just some girl moaning that she's being treat unfair online
If it is....tough titties online is a boys club and always will be. If you get called names, call them back. Simples
Yeah a thick skin is needed but it doesn't excuse the behavior of some of these people. The fact that these children need to resort to such pathetic name calling is a shameful sign of how limited their minds are. I'm a guy and I dont consider online gaming a 'boys club'. I'd rather play with a mature and sensible girl than have to listen to sex-obsessed fuck wits with brains as tiny as their pre-pubescent dicks. I don't want my girlfriend or sister to receive incessant abuse because they had the gall to be born with a vagina and the hideous shamelessness to go out and *shock/horror* buy a game.
So yeah, call 'em names back. Whatever. But you know what? It's not a 'boys club' and if it is I'd rather just resign because I'm not here to swing my dick with other guys I'm here to play a god damned video game.
Cool stuff. Going to have to try it out after work.
If Microsoft continues to support it for months and years to come, this could blow away Home.
