Zynga games may be headed to Xbox 360.
In a recent interview, Zynga CEO Mark Pincus casually mentioned Microsoft’s console while discussing the synchronization of Zynga games across multiple devices.
“Right now we are building back-end technology, so that your game state can be saved and served up in difference screens and devices,” Pincus said. “The interaction cues will take from the different devices. In other words, you can play a game on a computer and call it up on Xbox...

Posted by IGN on Mar 22, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Durango, Xbox 720, NextBox – call it whatever you like, but one analyst doesn’t believe that it will be a digital-only platform. Via a research note, Cowan & Company analyst Doug Creutz addressed reports that Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox 360 successor would forego a disc-drive in favor of an all-digital distribution platform, stating the move would be too risky.
“We believe a digital-only next-gen Xbox is unlikely given risks to both Microsoft’s market share and the...

Xbox 360 Game: Street Fighter X Tekken
Posted by Game News on Mar 21, 2012 | Leave a Comment

It’s definitely going to be a change for Tekken fans, but I personally think the expressions and artistic style...
