Microsoft on Game Room: 'We are aware of the issues'

Microsoft Game Studios' Game Room is one of the company's most prized releases for the first quarter of 2010, and after a slight delay is now available across Europe on both Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the Games for Windows Marketplace. However, aside from being buried deep within the Game Add-On part of the Xbox LIVE Marketplace's menu system, it appears Game Room's launch hasn't gone without a hitch.

As long as it's fixed soon :)

There's a few work arounds, like the one in this article, but there's still no way to play the two free game packs launched with it yet!

The_Perverted_Ninja5156d ago

I had no problems downloading it or the two game packs on PC but there wasn't a game in it that I thought was worth even trying. It could be great in time but it needs some more recent games to get me to stick around and play. I would like see some games like 4 player xmen or simpsons or maybe some newer 90s games like NBA jam or killer instinct.

kevco335156d ago

Yeah, it's been fixed now.

And yeah, I totally agree. These 70's and early 80's games are fun and everything - heck, they're what got me into gaming in the first place - but they don't hold much to call you back to Game Room time-and-time again.

Fat, Ugly or Slutty?

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."

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.
