Gamingtruth.com's Greg Bargas goes hands on with Alan Wake's American Nightmare at CES 2012!
On July 29, 2024, Xbox will stop supporting the ability to purchase new games, DLC, and other entertainment content from the Xbox 360 Store on the console and the Xbox 360 Marketplace. This change will not affect your ability to play Xbox 360 games or DLC you have already purchased.
Curious to see if people will put the same energy reacting to this move as they did when Sony tried to close the PS3 / Vita stores.
End of an era...
I still use my 360 as it has several games installed that aren't available to get on the modern systems. Outrun online, afterburner climax, renegade ops, the tmnt games... too many to just unplug it.
Everything else that is bc on newer I already downloaded to my 4tb external.
And with that news sonic 06 just became the most valuable game in my collection
Really sad day for gamers and game preservation. Bozo Jim Ryan tried to pull a fast one on us like this back in 2021 and we kept the PS3 store up. It's a shame that with MS' move that many digital only titles, DLC packs, themes, avatars, etc. will be lost to time. There are a lot of great 360 games that did not make it to the backwards compatibility program and are not playable on Series consoles. Hopefully preservationists will get busy and help store this content for future retention. Time to hop on the 360 store and grab some games before they are gone forever.
Physical 360/PS3 discs are a wise investment in 2023. I imagine certain 360 games will spike on this news.
If you are interested in helping the preservation of games, I recommend checking out https://www.preservegames.o... ( https://discord.gg/NFhbdwEY... or r/OnlinePreservation over on Reddit. There are many other preservation projects out there as well.
Remember when people were up in arms over Sony attempting this?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, by far one of my favourite surprises of the Game Awards was the surprise announcement of Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake developed by Remedy Entertainment, and released in May 2010 on the Xbox 360, Alan Wake 2 will finally be brought back. While we were treated just this year to the surprise Alan Wake Remastered earlier in October 2021, or Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in February 2012, fans never got a true sequel. What will the future of the Alan Wake franchise look like?
Perfect! a sequel that will remind me of the smell of mildew and damp coffee grounds with a side of deadly premonition.
Where else would the franchise go? Seems like a sure thing. American Nightmare should be in the remake though.
Epic Games Store is giving away two free games this week. Alan Wake’s American Nightmare and Observer are free until October 24. Once you claim them, you get to keep them.
