Sounds like Robo Rally is coming to a 360 near you.

My hope would be some sort of online DDM game, sort of like they did with Magic Online.

Oooo. That would be cool. Robo Rally is a neat idea, but it always seems to take too long for the pay-off. It would benefit greatly from animations and the like.

*looks around*

...I don't see any 360s near me.

They could dual develop a PC and a 360 version I suppose. That was the idea behind Vista's integration with MS's XBox Live service, once upon a time.

Turns out however, that Vista sucks and gamers generally don't want to install it - let alone use it to access MS Live! marketplace. Ah well. No bold technology marketing plan survives contact with the enemy. And when it comes to Vista, few plans have survived intact.

If the intention is to offer downloadable content you can buy online for play at home, then it is hard to argue against XNA, Xbox Live and the 360 as an ideal platform for sales - from a developer's/licensor's point of view.

I can well understand why PC Gamers would think otherwise. That, however, is another point entirely.

I used to think those Apple commercials were cute but silly. Now I think they're just plain right....

Perhaps it's another MMO, but based in something better than Eberron...

But MMO's and Eberron were meant for each other. They're kinda like the evil universe version of peanut putter and chocolate.

That would be awesome! Filthy Rich was a great game too! They have a lot of very good board games that would be PERFECT for that.
