I don't think it's that bad, other than the weird inclusion of Kingdom Come.
Resident Evil 4 the biggest one missing.
Others that should be on there: Street Fighter II, Quake, Halo, Uncharted 2. Maybe Breath of the Wild. There are many 80s games that deserve a place too, especially early RPGs, but perhaps more the work of a historian than a popular poll.
Actually, thinking about it, I reckon it IS an Android device. They mention Razer as one the possible manufacturers - I think its a version of the Razer Edge with an Xbox branded controller.
It would be sold as a competitor to the PS Portal - eg aimed at local or cloud streaming rather than running games on the device. (Although you would be able to do more than with the Portal).
I think this makes the most sense, as allows them to put their toes in the market, compete with the surprisingly successful Portal, while keeping the path clear for a forthcoming "proper" handheld.
Sounds like its similar to the Xbox-specific Backbone controllers you can get for phones. Eg, a generic Windows (or Android?!) handheld with a built-in "Xbox controller". Marketed for Game Pass streaming. Highly doubt it will play Xbox console games.
I've actually written a book about artistic depictions of London and I agree Legion is one of the best in videogames. Much better than Assassin's Creed Syndicate which just didn't feel right.
As for the game itself I thought it was pretty good mechanically - I definitely got into it more as the game went on. Mainly let down by the awful writing and painful voice acting.
Was playing Atari 50 collection and it's fascinating how the box art evolved, or I should say devolves. The early games have beautiful illustrations, elegant graphic design and special print treatments, like metallic inks.
By the early 90s they look like they've been done by someone who has never picked up a pencil before.
