I've been slowly making my way through Quantum Break of late ready for our review, which should go up Friday. I won't go into it my feeling on the game

Oh what a difference a few years make, as both properties are now headed by different developers, and Gears of War being sold by Epic to Microsoft before moving on. Before The Coalition got their hands on Gears of War 4 though, Epic did have a stab at the game for six months or so As[...]

Minecraft: Story Mode is clearly doing pretty well for Telltale. I've not played anything past the first episode, but I've heard generally positive things

It's nearly that time again where we find out the upcoming list of free games for subscribers of Xbox Live and PSN. With March somehow already on its way

Xbox One backwards compatibility is growing every month, making the feature more fully formed with each update. Ever since the feature was announced last

Last week, Microsoft alluded that it will be looking into providing cross-play between the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 It's a consumer friendly move, and paints Sony in somewhat of the corner, making them accept or be the bad guys. Well, those politics seem to be the only thing keeping the first game up for the[...]

The question of 'p's has hung over this console generation since its inception, but it has quieted down somewhat in the last few months. Most games run at

The dream of playing across consoles has been one long held by gamers who have ever had a friend who prefers a different platform than them. Well, it seems Microsoft are making pretty big strides towards that very idea Speaking on Xbox's site, ID@XBOX's Chris Charla said that Microsoft is trying to create a world where all[...]

Gears of War 4 has been very loud all the sudden, thanks to the game featuring in the next issue of GameInformer. We've learnt about the characters we

Launch trailers are funny things. While their purpose would appear quite overt, they rarely actually come out on the day, or even week of a game's launch.

Gears of War: The Ultimate Edition had a a rather weird set up when it came to frame rate. The game ran at 30fps in single player and 60fps in

I'm a big Gears of War guy, so naturally, I'm quite excited about Gears 4. Seeing what The Coalition do to bring the franchise forward will be certainly

This is heart breaking. It's been announced that Fable Legends has been cancelled by Microsoft The game had long been in development, and not many fans of the RPG were too jazzed about the asymmetrical multiplayer direction the game had gone in Still, the title was featuring prominently in promotional material, such as the press conference[...]

With Forza 6 just out last year, most assume Forza Horizon 3 is the next one to come. Well, that was given some credence today, by virtue of Microsoft coming out and saying there will be another Forza game this year revealed at E3 They didn't say what the game was though, but did reveal that[...]

That tech is pretty cool looking, but the whole thing is just very weird. Take a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQeOYi3Be5YVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Microsoft HoloLens: Young Conker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQeOYi3Be5Y) We all remember that amazing Minecraft Demo at E3 that showed off the Hololens[...]

Another month coming to a close, another month of free games on the horizon. Xbox, as usual has blinked first too. IN March, Games with Gold will be

Video games look worse with time for the most part. It's just a byproduct of the form being so intrinsically tied to a tech industry that is ever moving.

I remember playing Gears of War vivdly. That game was one of those 'it's arrived' moments in gaming, and in this case it was pertaining to the start of HD

As spotted on Microsoft's UK website by VideoGamer's David Scammell, a backwards compatible version of the first game will come with Dark Souls III pre-orders. While not confirmed of course, you have to imagine that the game will come to the console's program, without having to pre-order Dark Souls III And if you haven't played Dark Souls, you[...]

...and even more Quantum Break news. Only this time, it is a live action trailer. We're still over two months away from the game, so I'd wouldn't expect

Quantum Break just became a lot more open. The game was set to be an Xbox One exclusive, but now many more will be able to experience Remedy's new

So, I'm a big Halo guy. I love the gameplay, the story and the lore. That's why I'm always fascinated at little tidbita I can find about the franchise's

First and foremost, always make sure the game is great. This does make sense and Microsoft do need to spread out their exclusives, and more game development time will make sure Scalebound should be ready when it comes around. Scalebound was delayed right at the start of this year, pushing the Xbox One exclusive out of[...]

Unlike Sony with the PlayStation 4, Microsoft don't like to flaunt around how many Xbox Ones it has sold It's understandable too They are lagging behind the PlayStation 4 considerably, and posting their numbers make the Xbox look like it is not selling in comparison, which isn't true It's doing better than the Xbox 360[...]

While I've heard of some technical snags along the way, the general consensus I've seen is that it's a cool feature that people like using. I think it

The poor game has been through the wringer, having lost a developer in the last year, and supposedly being put on ice by Microsoft It was a weird choice to remake in the first place, being such a small IP, but now that it has had a failed attempt to reboot, you'd think MS would[...]

Rise of the Tomb Raider was received very well indeed. The game has done exceptionally, at least critically and by fan reception terms, taking what was

Microsoft have taken on the MinecraftEdu mod and are looking to expand it in more accessible ways It will launch this summer, and schools can opt in for $5 each year, for each user There will also be a website, where things like lesson plans will be covered and discussed. I will be interested in seeing[...]

There had been some concerns over Rise of the Tomb Raider and sales of the game since it's release. It hasn't featured high on NPD lists, and fans are

Scalebound is really something different and neat for an Xbox One exclusive. First off, it's a console exclusive from a Japanese developer, and secondly,
