Grand Theft Auto IV's delay leaves Holiday 2007 with a huge void. GWN's latest feature lists a handful of games that could replace GTA IV this holiday season.
"First up is Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, a sequel to Pandemic's 2005 free-form hit. Offering the closest in resemblance with gameplay, Mercenaries 2 is an open-world action title that now introduces planes."
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
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.
Get a girlfriend. It helps pass time, really!
There are plenty of games on the 360 to hold me over, So it is not the end of the world in my book. Although I was looking foward to playing this. I don't mind waiting if they need more time to live up to the hype.
Yawn..overrated game
not really i dont need anything too cure may GTA blues;) maybe except DMC4 that would do fine
I've rented several games from the GTA series in the past and have found the games reasonably fun with a good story,.. but to me the poor execution of the overall gameplay made it a little short of "worth buying" for me.
and with the precarious legal status of both Take Two, and Rockstar, (both companies seem to attract as much legal trouble as the games' own virtual protagonists) I've come to expect a little "shadiness" with their development process.
I just hope the new version will eliminate some of the shoddy gameplay mechanics of the past series,... perhaps they can learn a thing or two from Saints Row. (the stories have always been great however)
does the game even have multiplayer?
Anyway, we'll be playing Halo 3 four-player co-opt, so I doubt that we'll even notice.
