Despite popular consensus, I think the story of Halo 4 was by far the best the series has ever produced, at least in video game form. I think 343 are

In one fell swoop, Microsoft updated their most prestigious franchise for the Xbox One, with every game getting some level of treatment to make it better than it originally was Halo 2 itself saw a complete makeover, brining it into the new generation in style..

One of the most substantial announcements at E3 this year was that Microsoft are making games backwards compatible on Xbox One Very soon we will be able to whip out old 360 games we own and get them going on the new generation hardware (assuming the game is on a pre-approved list).

For a long time, it appeared business executives who ran the games industry were pretty clueless about the medium they ran. They were business people

The 'Red Ring of Death' was a pivotal moment in Xbox history. The Xbox 360 was flying and had dominated the PlayStation 3 early on, but then disaster

Last year at SDCC, Xbox had a competition to win several custom Xbox Ones I remember, because the Sunset Overdrive variant looked particularly garish.

I really adored the Hunt the Truth podcast. The fictional podcast, which takes a lot of cues from Serial, was a great bit of world building in the Halo

We learnt the day before yesterday that Sony's dominance in Europe is massive, even exceeding 90% market share in some countries. This is obviously bad

It feels I am still dealing with the fallout of E3, and already it is time to turn my attention to GamesCom. The event is just over a month away meaning

As the months go on, you can assemble a pretty wicked library for absolutely nothing. On the Xbox side of things, their efforts are about to double on the Xbox One They announced today that each month, they will be offering two games per platform, where as previously only one title was offered on the One[...]

Recore was one of the most interesting surprises at Microsoft's E3 press conference. Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune and Metroid Prime creator Armature

The Phantom Dust reboot was a pretty weird call to begin with when it was announced at E3 2014. It was a little remembered franchise, so seeing Microsoft

I think[...]

Regrettably, I didn't get any time with Rise of the Tomb Raider at E3. I really wish I had, but sadly, there is only so much you can do. There is a way to

Cuphead has been one of Microsoft’s most interesting, accidental successes. The game showed up last year at E3 as part of the ID@Xbox montage. The focus

Halo 4 was easily the most accomplished narrative in the Halo universe, in my book. It did a great job of humanising these iconic characters and giving

One of the biggest stories of E3 was undoubtedly that the Xbox One was going to support Xbox 360 games The feature has been long asked for, so it's good to see it. It does raise an uncomfortable question for Microsoft though, If they can do it now, why did they say it was impossible when[...]

This, to my knowledge, is a console first and means that one of the great benefits of PC gaming has come to Xbox One This will be a completely free feature. I suppose this is that Windows 10 and Xbox cross talk in action. Fallout 4 had a great showing last night, but to my surprise[...]
