In a pretty bizarre move that I don't think anyone was expecting, Microsoft announced at their Gamescom Press conference today that Halo Wars 2 is coming in late 2016 on Xbox One and PC For those of you who don't remember the game, that was the RTS console Halo game I know, like I said,[...]

These will be accessed through the recently announced backwards compatibility service coming this fall on the Xbox One. That does mean that they will only run at their native frame rate and resolution, but hey It is a neat incentive If you haven't played the series, I fully recommend that you do It really was one[...]

Some of my favorite Halo memories come from playing Infection. The zombies game mode is a classic casual time that always ends in people screaming at the

Taking a franchise that was synonymous with PlayStation at one point and wrapping it up for a year on the Xbox One was a big deal. Don't expect anything like that at GamesCom next week though Talking to Gamecore (via Dualshockers), Xbox boss Phil Spencer explained he is more focused on first party games to build on in the[...]

I don't seem to remember Tomb Raider (2013) being that small. The island it took place on felt fairly large and I appreciated the depth and detail of the

Rare Replay is just a few days away, bringing 30 Rare games to the Xbox One to celebrate 30 years of the developer This should be enough to satisfy just about any Rare enthusiast and nostalgia hunters. If you expect even more though, you could be in luck During a livestream yesterday (via GameSpot), Rare lead engineer[...]

Halo has been a series that is synonymous with splitscreen multiplayer. You could probably make a convincing argument that the series wouldn't be as big

And we've sold a ton of Xbox Ones globally, more than we've sold 360s [in the same period] We're both doing really well, and I think Nintendo has a plan for the future – I don't know what the NX is, but it's great just to see the business being done. This industry benefits a lot[...]

Microsoft had one of the stories of E3 this year when they announcing the Xbox One would support backwards compatibility of Xbox 360 titles It was a huge move and has left many fans very pleased with the prospect.

The Xbox One dashboard is 'fine' by me, but I've never found it particularly inviting to play games That is likely a relic of when the console was going to be much more focused on entertainment as a whole, but as Microsoft have moved back to games exclusively, it doesn't feel quite right. That is why[...]

Golden Eye is missing in action, but lets put that down to a licensing problem both for Bond and Nintendo. The collection will be with us soon too, hitting storefronts on August 4th exclusive to Xbox One To celebrate the impending release, here is an adorable trailer featuring all the protagonists of Rare's games in a[...]

I've spoken previously about how surprised I was by Gears of War: Ultimate Edition. I was expecting a rather uninteresting up-rez, but from what I have

We've been expecting this announcement for a while now, but today it finally came, officially. Square Enix have now revealed that, yes, Rise of the Tomb Raider will only be an Xbox One exclusive this year After that, the game will see a Summer 2016 release on Windows 10 and Steam, but if you are on[...]

The first games initially launched alongside the Xbox 360 on the platform, so it is a nice courtesy to see Microsoft release the PC version again. Sadly, that version won't be launching alongside the Xbox One version next month Responding on Twitter, Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed that the PC version wouldn't be coming until a[...]

Two new major franchises at Microsoft's E3 press conference were ReCore and Sea of Thieves. ReCore is coming from developer Armatage and MegaMan alum

Going into this Christmas period the Xbox One just has a better library than the PlayStation 4 with Halo 5, Forza 6 and Rise of the Tomb Raider releasing, so we will see what that does to sales on top of this natural growth. Thanks VG247 for the heads up! The Xbox has been slowly creeping back[...]

Phantom Dust has been a weird one ever since it was announced at E3 2014. First off, in what world is Phantom Dust a reliable reboot for Xbox in the first

Forza 6 is coming this September and I have no doubt it will do very well. This brand is hugely important to the Xbox name, firstly because they sell well

By Jared Cornelius Welcome back to Sweet Release!  Bleeding Cool's look at the new games hitting store shelves and digital platforms.  I've been preaching about summertime being the dumping grounds for smaller titles for a few weeks now, and the climate really hasn't changed.  With our last entry being almost all digital only fighting games, the calendar gets[...]

The franchise seems to have been revitalised for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 today. Prototype: Biohazard Bundle has hit the Xbox and Sony storefronts for $49.99 This pack included both the first and second game and all the accompanying DLC.

Halo has come to embody the face of Xbox The franchise and the brand are inseparable in many ways, and both of their successes are reliant on the other. This symbiotic relationship[...]

2013's Tomb Raider had a habit of really sticking it to Lara Croft. The intense graphic and violent deaths that she could fall fate to were pretty garish.

The Xbox One though? It shares 11% sales with the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It is a bit sad to see the Xbox One flagging behind, only selling as many as last generation consoles and the PlayStation 4 making much more than twice their sales. Having said that, the Xbox One has been on a serious[...]
