Every major Microsoft first-party game dated


Recommended Posts

Microsoft's recent announcement that Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts will launch on November 14 means that every game in Microsoft's first-party 2008 line-up has finally been given a solid release date. No more guessing!

And that means that, unless any of the following games bow down to some unexpected slippage, 360 gamers can start their saving their pennies and figuring out how they're going to juggle multi-card payments to mum and dad until Christmas brings them some much needed cash. You're looking at buying a game a month. Credit crunch? My arse...

* Viva Pi?ata: Trouble in Paradise - Microsoft has dated Rare's family friendly follow-up with September 5. Loads more Viva action to be found here.

* Gears Of War 2 - Epic's Cliffy B revealed at E3 that a November 7 release date has been pinned down for the shooter. More Gears than is probably good for you here.

* Fable II - The game will ship to US retailers on Oct. 21 while we have to wait an extra few days for Oct. 24. Release dates throughout the rest of the world are expected "in the coming months". Take a look at some movies here.

* Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts - Hot off the press, it's been dated for November 14. Hit this link for some crazy pre-order plans.

* Too Human - Silicon Knights' long-awaited bruiser (out in the US today) will be out in Europe on August 29. It's already causing quite a stir across the internet. Read the review here.

As a side note we should point out that Lips is down for 'holiday 2008' and Halo Wars has slipped into 2009. But there's also a new dashboard to look out for this autumn that'll do fancy Nintendo-like things.

Christmas on 360 is looking good then. Can't believe we're already talking about it though...

    • Wow, imagine you dump hundreds of hours into completing things and unlocking stuff and you lose it all. Back in the day when cheats were built into games, you could at least unlock things again that way without spending hundreds of hours again. But those days are long gone for some reason as no one builds cheats into games anymore. So it's even more painful that studio that's on its 6th installment **** it up so badly.
    • Spotify finally removes the disco ball app icon in the latest update by Ivan Jenic Image: Spotify Spotify has just released an update that removes its now infamous disco ball icon. The update reverts the app icon to the familiar flat green logo after weeks of mixed reactions online. The icon arrived on May 13 as part of the company's 20th anniversary celebration and was always intended to be temporary, though Spotify only confirmed that after the backlash started. The disco ball took the internet by storm, as the reception was split. A vocal group of users called it ugly and disorienting, with some iOS users noting that the 3D glowing effect made the app look like it was stuck mid-update. On the other end, the icon picked up a following of its own. Its retro, three-dimensional look immediately stood out against the flat, minimalist aesthetic that has dominated app design for years. It even started a small movement, spawning what people started calling "discomorphism," a mashup of disco and skeuomorphism. Other brands started posting disco ball versions of their own logos, probably in an effort to ride the wave of memes that flooded the internet during late May. Spotify has had a turbulent relationship with its user base lately. Besides the disco ball icon, which certainly wasn't appreciated by everyone, the company has also received backlash for its willingness to include AI-generated music on its platform. On May 17, Spotify promised the old icon would return “in a few weeks.” And now it looks like that time has finally arrived. So, whether you liked the disco ball or it made you uncomfortable, it’s now gone for good. The next time you update the Spotify app on your phone, the old, flat-design icon will return.
