gamescore-logoMicrosoft has announced that it will retire the Gamescore blog in order to focus more on Xbox.com and the Xbox dashboard (although the expense cuts might have been a factor too). So we can say that it’s a pretty sad day for Xbox 360 owners who enjoyed reading the Gamescore blog, but at least they still have the more popular Major Nelson…

Still, staff members of the blog have noted that they’ll continue working with Microsoft and the same official information which was usually found on the blog will now be available by other means, like the aforementioned Major Nelson’s blog, the Inside Xbox channel and even directly to your mobile phone (xbox.mobi). And, of course, there’s a ton of other blogs and websites out there offering you similar information. So, in the end, the big loss will be compensated.

“We had a blast being part of Gamerscore blog, and we want to thank you for your support,” wrote the staff and we can only wish them all the best in the future.
