Ridge Racer Unbounded, no jokes … looks good

Japan retailers chuck the deuces to Xbox 360, sayonara?

Japan retailers chuck the deuces to Xbox 360, sayonara?

Microsoft has had a long frustrating battle establishing itself in Japan.  You can way way way back to the original Xbox to document the poor performance that Microsoft’s console has had in the region.  Japanese gamers just seem determined to ignore what the Xbox 360 has to offer even when Microsoft dished out several “fan [...]
