2010: The Year of Xbox 360 Domination?

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:13:25 GMT

From the PlanetXbox360.com feature editorial:

"Out with the old and in with the new is the usual quid pro quo that comes at the end of each year and with everything gamers have been exposed to, 2009 will without a doubt be a tough act to follow. However, as Microsoft Game Studios flaunts what the 360 has to offer, the console stands to seize the market and become the centerpiece of the game industry in 2010. As Microsoft continues to provide a seemingly endless supple of new quality content and numerous choice exclusives, this is just the tip of the iceberg of the treat gamers are in for come next year. Conversely, Project Natal stands to revolutionize how video games move players along with how we enjoy our overall entertainment experience when it comes to the 360. Last but not least, the continued support and updates via Xbox Live ensure that as long as developers want to, they really can provide a vast, indefinite amount of additional content to their choice audiences. Thus, it becomes evident that the Xbox 360 really does stand to reshape the industry as a whole and remain a leader in the gaming community throughout the span of 2010."

Yes, that's right. A video that dramatically cuts together clips of Mario was so inspirational that it reduced me to tears. Hell, Mario wasn't just plucking on my heart strings here, he was strumming away."

Zelda has been around since the mid 80's, yet no previous decade has come close to giving us what this decade has. There have been 9 Zelda game releases in the last 10 years.

So for all our complaining, for all our slow "no news" times, and for all this whining about why we don't have Zelda Wii yet, it's good to remember that Nintendo has been giving us Zelda love all decade, so be patient young grasshopper and you will greatly rewarded.
