I had that same moment with my PS2 the other day. Decided I wanted to play some Rachet and Clank and I had to look where the square button was at one point. All I could think was 'that's weird'.

I just looked up The Shining Empire. It looks really good. I love the open endedness of it. I think I might do a "kill every living thing playthrough, why? Because I'm a psychopath? " lol. I'll have to get it on PC though, unless I grab a 360 by then, but that's looking less likely to be soon as a lot things of mine keep breaking, to the point where I'm wondering "What next?"

More news on the Xbox TV stuff
Untitled

Confirmed shows

“Halo” television series

The “Halo” television series is a groundbreaking original series based on the award-winning “Halo” franchise. Award-winning filmmaker, director and producer Steven Spielberg will executive produce the live-action TV series, created in partnership with 343 Industries and Amblin Television.

“Every Street United”

“Every Street United” is an unscripted series of eight, thirty-minute episodes and a one-hour finale, featuring legendary soccer players Thierry Henry and Edgar Davids, focused on the global search for soccer’s most gifted and undiscovered street stars scouted across eight countries (United States, England, Argentina, Spain, Brazil, the Netherlands, Ghana and South Korea). The series culminates this July in a 4v4 street game finale in the shadow of the World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.

Each episode will feature unique and incisive narratives about the grassroots street stars and the communities that shaped them. Industry veteran and eight-time Emmy-Award winning producer, director, writer and editor Jonathan Hock (“Streetball,” “30 for 30: The Best That Never Was”) is directing the series. Emmy-Award winning producer Mike Tollin and Mandalay Sports Media are executive producing. Professional soccer luminaries, Henry and Davids, will serve as coaches for the 4v4 street game in Rio. “Every Street United” will premiere in June 2014. All episodes will be available through Xbox Video for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Windows 8 (PC and Surface) and Windows Phone 8.

Bonnaroo

Xbox owners around the globe can experience the magic of the 13th annual Bonnaroo music and arts festival with a live concert destination on Xbox Live Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15, 2014, brought to viewers in partnership with Superfly Presents. With the Bonnaroo app, fans can enjoy live music like never before, with a virtual experience featuring the best performances, multiple stages, biggest artists and amazing SuperJams, and explore this year’s lineup to see the best of Bonnaroo’s past with exclusive performances. Fans can also join the conversation with fellow virtual-Bonnaroovians and get connected to their friends and the festival. Xbox is the exclusive broadcasting partner for Bonnaroo and the only location to get all of the interactive features.

“Signal to Noise”/“Atari: Game Over”

Xbox is creating a new six film documentary series, “Signal to Noise,” (working title) with two-time Academy Award winning producer Simon Chinn (“Searching for Sugar Man” and “Man on Wire”) and Emmy winning producer Jonathan Chinn (FX’s “30 Days” and PBS’s “American High”), through their multi-platform media company, Lightbox. The series will expose little known stories of how modern technology has radically altered the way we interact with our world.

The first installment, “Atari: Game Over” (working title), explores the fabled Atari mystery, dubbed “The Great Video Game Burial of 1983.” As the legend goes, the Atari Corporation, faced with overwhelmingly negative response to the E.T. video game, disposed of millions of unsold game cartridges by burying them in the small town of Alamogordo, New Mexico. Fuel Entertainment took an interest in the legend, and in December 2013, with help from local garbage contractor Joe Lewandowski, acquired the exclusive rights to excavate the Alamogordo landfill. Fuel Entertainment then brought the opportunity to Xbox Entertainment Studios. The team will head to the landfill in question to determine if the story is true, interviewing a cast of characters related to the game and its mystery along the way. “Atari: Game Over” is directed by writer/director Zak Penn (“X-Men 2,” “Avengers,” and “Incident at Loch Ness”). It will air exclusively on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in 2014.

“Humans”

“Humans” is a bold new drama co-produced with UK broadcaster Channel 4. Award-winning UK production company Kudos (“The Hour,” “Utopia,” “Broadchurch”) will produce the hour-long, eight-episode series, which will share a premiere broadcast window on the Xbox platform and Channel 4 in the UK in 2015.

Executive produced by Jane Featherstone (“Life on Mars,” “Broadchurch”) and Derek Wax (“The Hour,” “Sex Traffic”), and written by British writing team Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (“Spooks,” “Spooks: The Greater Good”), “Humans” is an English-language adaptation of Sveriges Television and Matador Film’s acclaimed Swedish series, “Real Humans.” “Humans” is set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a ‘Synth’ – a highly-developed robotic servant eerily similar to its live counterpart. In the hope of transforming the way they live, one strained suburban family purchases a refurbished synth only to discover that sharing life with a machine has far-reaching and chilling consequences. Casting for “Humans” will begin in May 2014, and production will commence later this summer.

“Halo” digital feature

343 Industries and Scott Free Productions are creating a "Halo" digital feature to be released later this year. The project will be executive produced by Ridley Scott and Scott Free TV President, David Zucker. Sergio Mimica-Gezzan ("Battlestar Galactica," "Pillars of the Earth," "Heroes") will direct.

Projects in development

“Deadlands”

Xbox Entertainment Studios has committed to a script based on the successful pen-and-paper role playing game created by Shane Lacy Hensley. “Deadlands” is a genre-bending alternative history of the Weird West, filled with undead gunfighters, card-slinging sorcerers, mad scientists, secret societies, and fearsome abominations.

“Extraordinary Believers”

Xbox Entertainment Studios is developing an innovative, hybrid stop-motion show dubbed “Extraordinary Believers” (working title) with Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, creators of the Emmy-Award winning “Robot Chicken,” the longest running stop-motion show on television. The executive producers on the project are Seth Green, Matt Senreich, and creators/writers/executive producers are Eric Towner and John Harvatine IV.

“Fearless”

“Fearless,” (working title) is an unscripted series currently in pilot production starring Paul de Gelder, an Australian Navy bomb clearance diver and shark attack survivor who takes on an adrenaline-fueled quest to aid individuals who risk their lives to make the world a better place. “Fearless” will be produced by Australia’s International Emmy-Award winning production company, Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder (CJZ).

“Gun Machine”

Xbox Entertainment Studios acquired the rights to “Gun Machine,” a hardboiled detective thriller based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Warren Ellis. Ellis will executive produce with Brett Conrad (“The Killing,” “Sons of Anarchy,” Netflix’s upcoming “Marco Polo”) who has signed on to write the pilot script about a detective tracking a serial killer who is tied to a mysterious collection of guns used in infamous New York murders.

Untitled JASH Comedy/Variety Half Hour

In this unique comedy format developed by Xbox Entertainment Studios with JASH (a comedy collective founded by Sarah Silverman, Michael Cera, Tim and Eric and Reggie Watts), the biggest names in comedy will showcase the people that make them laugh. Each week, a different comedian will host/curate a show featuring new and unsung talent, in various video formats. Sarah Silverman will host the pilot episode and Daniel Kellison (“Late Night/Late Show with David Letterman,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “Crank Yankers”) will executive produce. The series has a pilot commitment and will begin shooting in June.

“Winterworld”

Xbox Entertainment Studios and IDW Entertainment are co-developing a limited event live-action series based on Chuck Dixon and artist Jorge Zaffino’s seminal graphic novel series “Winterworld,” in which our world has been encased in ice from pole-to-pole. The surviving humans have formed tribes that war, enslave and trade with one another in an effort to survive the infinite winter. Ted Adams and David Ozer from IDW Entertainment, and Rick Jacobs and Dave Alpert from Circle of Confusion (“Walking Dead”) will executive produce.

I think MS is going to strike back at Sony at E3 in a big way this year. It kind of has to and Sony, like its fanboys seems complacent. Could be wrong of course, but MS has deep pockets and I'm sure it's been throwing around some money so I'm looking forward to seeing what is going to come of that. If a $400 Xbox One bundle without Kinect is announced, I'm going to start saving.

They'll probably announce some interesting titles that they will ignore at launch so that they can focus on more games where you get less content for a shooter.

Heh Hey kids scew Quantum Break, have you heard about Halo.

Interesting tidbit from Phil Spencer but some of the other big wigs wanted to capitalize on the success of the cortanta voice app thingy and wanted Cortana to host the whole show hatume Miku style including jokes with the VA. Spencer thought it would be running the concept I'm the ground which would be true.

Have to say MS missed out. If I would have gotten a One first I would have been Microsoft everything. I guess there's still time for that to happen but the one would only be my exclusive/media box.

A price cut and E3 will decide which new console I get come fall. Will probably be a Wii U since Zelda U may launch before Halo 5.

Long story short, my brother bought me a 360. Any recommendations on a first game?

I don't have much money and the marketplace is charging $15-$20 on games that should be $5 or less.

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite

Batman: Arkham Asylum. Transformers: War for Cybertron if you like Transformers. You might want to look into Prince of Persia (the reboot). It's a good platformer,with decent combat, and a good story with good dialogue (and acting) and character interaction. It's only $3 at GameStop, so it's a good budget game.

I would buy a game that I can play online. I know that's kind of vague, but I don't know how much money you have, or what games you like. I think all the Gears or Halo games are pretty cheap now.

If the Prince of Persia you're talking about is the one with the prince in that orange and blue garb, I'll have to pass. My brother got that and it looked incredibly easy. There was no challenge or punishment as your partner character would pull you out of danger or save you from a fall. And the ending

was ridiculous because you had to undo what you did throughout the entire game to save your partner and even so, the game wasn't over and they had the gall to charge an extra $12 if you want the REAL ending.

I liked the Blue and Orange prince of persia since its a very good looking game, but other than that don't buy. It has no challenge and you have to pay for the real ending.

I went out to buy some 360 games today. In the end, I got Dante's Inferno, Battlefield 3, Fallout 3, and Ninja Gaiden II.

I'm a little upset because there were hardly any noteworthy or critically acclaimed games on the 360 that weren't rated M for mature or brown/gray that I could find for sale.

I guess that's just something I'll have to get used to coming off of the Wii, Wii U, DS, and 3DS.

If that was supposed to contradict what he said, you failed at it.

Though speaking of colorful games, Sunset Overdrive miiiiiight be a second game released this year that makes next gen look interesting (the first being Arkham Knight). It's like Jet Set Dead Rising. Which is good because I'm sick of focusing on FPS that partially waste their potential in order to pander.

edit: ok 3, I forgot about Project Spark. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if most other people have too.
