The reason Peter Moore resigned is primarily for personal reasons, which is exactly what the article says.

Remember, Peter Moore earned his Masters degree from California State University. He also worked for Sega in San Francisco, California for quite a while.

In other words, he is very familiar with that part of the country, and would like to continue living there.

Nobody was "fired" in this deal; that much is certain. After all, Peter Moore is STILL working with Microsoft until sometime in August in an effort to help with the transition process. That does NOT happen when someone is fired.

@7,

If you waited a year to play Gears of War, you are an idiot! If you are willing to wait four more months to play it on PC, you are an idiot!

Gears of War on the Xbox 360 is THAT fun!

And I hope you spent several hundred dollars for a new graphics card and a lot of RAM for your PC, because that's the ONLY way you will get Xbox 360 level graphics.

Oh, and I hope you have the same sort of Big-Screen HDTV with 5.1 sound using a THX Audio/Video Receiver for your PC games that you do with your Xbox 360 games!

That is why Xbox 360 is special! Consoles have advantages over PC games! Only a FOOL would wait a year for games like Gears of War, or three years for games like Halo 2!!!

Rather than buying this years Sports games, why don't you just wait a year and buy next years sports games! You have waited this long...why not just wait longer...and then, you can do the same thing the next year!

Razer, why don't you cut your fingers off...you type stupid crap!

I agree that Mass Effect is going to be a fun game to play with great graphics. It will be a success with keeping Xbox 360 gamers happy, and it will be a sales success. I already have my copy of Mass Effect pre-ordered.

Mass Effect is the Next-BIG-Thing in gaming!!!

Mass Effect got all of those awards at the E3, just like Gears of War and Bioshock did. When a game like Mass Effect receives rewards such as Best RPG of the Show, then you KNOW the game is AWESOME!!!

Mass Effect is going to be a HUGELY POPULAR game, because it is SO AWESOME and people are looking forward to it SO MUCH!!!

Mass Effect is the sort of game that needs to be played through several times if you want to uncover all the different facts, because the game is so HUGE. That’s fine, because the Storyline from Mass Effect is one of the best in the history of videogaming. There are even books based on the Mass Effect plot. That sort of FUN replay value is what videogaming is all about!!!

Millions of gamers are going to want Mass Effect the day it is released in November, just like with Gears of War last November!!!

It goes without saying that the last NINE MONTHS of gaming with Gears of War on the Xbox 360 have been the BEST EVER, and only a FOOL would trade them for anything!!!

Just look at the amazing number of magazine covers Mass Effect has already been on in the last year!

People are looking forward to Mass Effect, BIGTIME!!!

The graphics of Mass Effect are the best ever seen on a game console. When Mass Effect is released in November, there will be millions of people saying that Mass Effect has the best graphics of any game they have ever played.

But what is even more exciting is the way the gameplay is so revolutionary with Mass Effect.

The new system of gameplay Communication in Mass Effect is absolutely REVOLUTIONARY!!! It isn’t just an evolutionary system of waiting until people talk, then choosing what you want to say. In Mass Effect, it actually matters WHEN you respond! If you interrupt someone in Mass Effect, the characters in the game will interpret it as a sign of rudeness or an aggressive action!

That type of Communication is a REVOLUTIONARY new form of gameplay!!!

As we all can see, the real-time texture quality of the graphics in Mass Effect is absolutely amazing to look at! The graphics are SO SHARP and DETAILED!!! The lip-syncing of the humans is amazing! The incredibly impressive lighting works together with the shading, and the textures, and it is all combined into an amazing Sci-Fi visual atmosphere for the game.

The artists of Mass Effect have done a PERFECT job of created a futuristic Sci-Fi atmosphere that makes you feel as though you are really a part of the environment!

Even the sound, represented by voices, sound effects, and music, are all PERFECT for Mass Effect!!! The Voices of the characters are perhaps the best in the history of videogaming! And the music of Mass Effect creates an absolutely PERFECT atmosphere for a Sci-Fi adventure!

The Emergence Day of Mass Effect will be one of the BEST DAYS in the history of gaming!!!

When you talk with someone online, please keep in mind that there may be children or other people listening.

I recently was talking with someone on Xbox Live, which I always listen to through both my speakers and headset at the same time.

But the person I was speaking with started telling me stories about how he gets females to "flash him" with the Xbox Live camera.

My family was watching me as this person said those things, and they were NOT enjoying what they were hearing.

So, I would say my Law would be: Keep personal storytelling to yourself, or at least look at the person's profile to see what it is set at.

I have my profile set for Recreation, and others have theirs set for Family. This guy had his set for Underground. So, another Law might be worded as:

Look at a persons profile before you tell stories.

Football RULEZ on the Xbox 360!!!!!!!!

Xbox 360 is the ONLY PLACE gamers can play the THREE Football games at 60 Frames Per Second of High-Fidelity Speed and Visual Smoothness this year!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an Xbox 360 Fanboy, it is FUN TO SAY, to I will say it for EACH GAME!!!

NCAA College Football 2008 can ONLY be played at 60 Frames Per Second of High-Fidelity Speed and Visual Smoothness on the Xbox 360!

All-Pro Football 2K8 can ONLY be played at 60 Frames Per Second of High-Fidelity Speed and Visual Smoothness on the Xbox 360!

John Madden Football 2008 can ONLY be played at 60 Frames Per Second of High-Fidelity Speed and Visual Smoothness on the Xbox 360!

Bottom Line: Xbox 360 is the ONLY system that Football can be played at 60 Frames Per Second of High-Fidelity Speed and Visual Smoothness!!!

I was talking to my buddies, Dom, Cole, and a couple others, and we think it would be VERY COOL if the Campaign Mode of Halo 3 included a 4-player Co-Op for both offline and online.

That way, even if you don't have online, you could still play 4-players at the same time, while playing the Campaign mode.

And when you want to have the screen all to yourself, you could play Single-player Campaign Mode, with 4 people using Xbox Live!!!

That is AWESOME!!!!

On July 24th there is a Metal Gear party where Konami will be celebrating the anniversary of the entire Metal Gear Solid franchise. We know that Metal Gear Solid 4 is the last one in the series. I have been hearing rumors of two kinds:

1. Metal Gear Solid 4 will be announced for Xbox 360.

2. A Brand-New type of Metal Gear game will be announced exclusively for the Xbox 360.

If Epic won't bring that 1 new act with the 5 extra chapters to the Xbox 360 in the form of additional downloads, just so they can sell the PC version of the game, I think that sucks!

If they are going to try and force people who already own the Xbox 360 versioin of the game to buy the PC version of the game, just so they can be selfish and greedy, to try and make more money, then I will be selfish and greedy, too.

My friends and I have already decided we are going to get Gears of War PC...the pirated version for free!

Unreal Tournament 3 and Haze are only exclusive to the Playstation 3 for about 3 months time. Early in 2008 they will both be released for the Xbox 360.

In fact, Epic makes it clear that the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3 will have its advantages over the Playstation 3 version, depending on your point of view.

Sony points out that the PS3 is compatible with the maps that PC gamers design for Unreal Tournament 3. However, there will literally be hundreds of thousands of maps designed, most of which are very poor quality. Sony never said how those maps could be accessed by the Playstation 3. All of those PC maps also will NOT be optimized for the Playstation 3 hardware.

With the Xbox 360 version of Unreal Tournament 3, gamers will not have direct access to the hundreds of thousands of maps that PC gamers create. Instead, Microsoft and Epic will work together to select the BEST maps that PC gamers create. Those maps will then be professionally optimized for the Xbox 360 hardware by the people at Epic. After the maps have been optimized for the Xbox 360 hardware, they will be released to the public either for free for a very inexpensive charge each month.

Personally, I would rather have the maps that are optimized for the hardware. But I think it is very obvious that the best version of Unreal Tournament 3 will actually be the PC version, which will also be released in 2007.

The Playstation 3 controller isn't designed very well for First-Person Shooters. Unreal Tournament started out as a PC game where you use a Mouse and Keyboard while seated at a desk or table. You can turn the PC resolution of Unreal 3 all the way up to over 2500 lines of resolution if you have a powerful enough PC. The consoles don't come close to that level of potential performance.
