It was a little stunning to learn last week that at least one disgruntled Xbox 360 owner had decided to skip the regular channels when dealing with a burnt out 360 and instead went straight to Bill Gates. Even more stunning, Gates apparently knocked some heads and got the guy sorted out in record time (24 hours).
While Consumerist reader, and Xbox 360 owner, Jon was delighted with the outcome, it seems Microsoft was not so much. Today they've dropped us a friendly note to remind everyone that Bill really isn't your go-to guy for Red Rings of Death:
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Basically this states that the creator of Microsoft Corporation does not want anything to do with XBOX 360, nor it's customers. How typical. Thankfully, Howard Stringer would not give Dark Sniper this kind of a cold shoulder.

I'm really amazed at how Billiam not only read that poor 360 owner's email, but actually helped him out.
That guy is pretty bad ass, can't say the same for the 360's engineering team or M$ for that matter.
Doesn't everyone know this? Of course he isn't. Bill Gates handles Vista returns. I believe Robbie Bach is now in charge of 360 repairs. I could be wrong though. They might have changed that last week.
But seriously, I knew that would be an issue after that story came out. You help one person and word gets out and soon everyone wants your help.
It's in my opinion, worth concern how people have grown so comfortable with the failure rate. Seriously, you're not RENTING your console you bought it.
I dont like m$ and I prefer sony any time but this is just retarded, they should just ignore the guy.
but it makes you wonder how he got his e-mail and why would Bill even react to it? something fishy here hehe
