Red Rooster's Gaming Coop
Pining for Pixels # 137 - 20th Anniversary of the Xbox 360
Welcome to the Pining For Pixels podcast! This is my video game variety show podcast, part of the Red Rooster's Gaming Coop network where I talk gaming and gaming culture every week. Each episode will feature a subject or theme that interests me, and I will speak about what is on my mind in the world of video games!
I can't believe it has already been 20 years since the Xbox 360 came out. This was Microsoft's most successful platform to date. It is the platform many fans wish Microsoft would go back to when it comes to guiding their approach to the gaming industry going forward. This platform marked the beginning of a lot of changes to the status quo in the gaming industry, both for good and for bad. Developers could now patch their games more regularly on console, DLC and expansion content expanded the life of games, but also added extra costs to the consumer as well. On top of all of this, some great games were introduced during this generation, and thanks to the focus on Xbox Live Arcade, and the famous "Summer of Arcade" during the 360 era, lots of indie games got a well deserved spotlight and were launched into major success! Tune in to hear what games really marked this platform as a serious contender and gave Sony a run for it's money.
