Xbox 360 is getting a version of "Home" sort of...

[PKerr]

Ugh, Home is (for me) useless.

The fact that they're charging for old 1980's games that are actually legitimately free to play is a joke. The fact that they're charging more for playing on different platforms (e.g., you pay more if you want to play on PC AND 360, as opposed to one or the other) is a bigger joke.

This concept is great in theory, but complete shit in execution and deserves to fail miserably.

I have a very hard time disagreeing with you.

I'm not sure how old 80's games are "legitimately free to play".

I think Atari dumped a lot of them on their website or something.

Yup--I was going to suggest visiting www.atari.com to see a bunch of the titles they've have available for play for free, direct from the company that owns the properties. Clearly not all the games are available, but leave it to Microsoft to repackage something that's freely available.

 

[The Evil Dead]

What garbage.

 

[TheBrew]

Not sure where all the hate is coming from... it's not like you have to use it or even download it.

Home was a massive disspointment. Occasionally there's something cool, like the Watchmen or Star Trek interviews, but by and large it's just too sterile and awkward. At least Game Room looks more inviting.

Dragon Age.

Seems like something I'll completely ignore, just like Home.
