Microsoft Calls Time On Xbox 360 - This Week In Retro 179
The BBC went to visit DMA in Dundee. Microsoft is shutting the Xbox 360 store, has it had its time? With the recent video detailing the making of Syndicate by Bullfrog we wonder if that was the first game where you played as the bad guy?
All this and your Community Question Of The Week answers plus other retro computing and gaming news in brief.
Visit http://pixel.addict.media/ for your copy of Pixel Addict magazine. The current issue is an Elite special but don't miss the look at the Valiant Turtle and the restoration of an Amstrad PC1640.
