Back in 2015, which seems like ages ago at this point, Microsoft declared that they would no longer release annual or even quarterly sales figures on the Xbox One, and have been holding strong to that through all the new incarnations since.

Earlier today we talked about the Snakebyte Twin: Charger X for the Xbox One, but we recognize that there are some people who don't want to buy an entire unit and just want things taken care of quickly. For those people, we also got a chance to review their Battery: Kit and Battery: Kit Pro units.

One of the biggest problems I have had with the Xbox since the 360 is batteries. You're either buying batteries frequently to replace what you just drained, or you get rechargeable ones that will die out on you in less than a year from use if you're a frequent gamer.

Crossover games. They're the Jetsons Meet The Flintstones version of interactive media. When you get two cool time-killing games like Bridge Constructor and Portal together to form their own game in the aptly titled Bridge Constructor Portal, one would expect awesome things to come from this.
