Allegedly.

We don't know what he's referring to specifically, but Major Nelson has posted an official statement regarding the sale of used games on the Xbox one, apparently in response to comments and message board posts. The statement is as follows:- The ability to trade in and resell games is important to gamers and to Xbox. Xbox One is...

Company isn't backing down against the competition

For those that follow other territories, it's common knowledge the Xbox 360's impact on the Japanese market hasn't generated the same success like it does in the UK and North America. Before the Xbox One announcement on Tuesday, many industry vets were speculating that Microsoft wouldn't compete...

Just like the PS4. Sort of.

According to a report from Polygon, the Xbox One will feature the ability to allow a friend to take over the controls of your game via Skype, in a similar fashion to the way that you can on the PlayStation 4. In the same report, it's been revealed that Kinect could well be able to talk back to you via an in-built speaker...

Brace yourselves.

Microsoft has confirmed to UK gaming magazine Edge that the Xbox One will provide television content from Sky UK, and Canal+ in France. Little is known as to what form that TV content will take, but we're relatively sure that things will pan out much as they have with the Xbox 360 versions of those services, with the Sky app in...

Contrary to apparent popular belief

How can we put this? The Xbox One Reveal was not to everyone’s tastes. OK. It wasn’t to the majority of people’s tastes. Despite the chortling at the name, the look of the console, the fact that Kinect needs to be connected at all times, and that playing a preowned game will cost you more than it used to,...

Snazzy!

The great and good Larry "Major Nelson" Hyrb has just posted the first image of an Xbox One game case on his WhoSay account, and we have to admit that it looks quite snazzy. Forza Motorsport 5 is featured on the case in question. The traditional Microsoft green is - as you'd expect - very prevalent, and the whole thing doesn't look a...

Its just getting silly now.

As we all know, FIFA 14 is coming to Xbox 360 and Xbox One later this year. EA have revealed information on the various limited edition versions of the game that you'll be able to preorder, and what comes with each package. Now, there are four editions in total, so we're going to try to keep up and make it all as clear...

It couldn't be...could it?

While rumours of a Mirror's Edge sequel have been circulating for an awfully long time, we're still waiting on confirmation. However, today - via the medium of the retailer's listing - things might have stepped up a little. Amazon Germany have listed Mirror's Edge 2 for Xbox 360, along with a mocked-up temporary packshot...

All in one place.

It's hardly uncommon knowledge that Microsoft didn't show a lot of games during their Xbox Reveal event. They were never expected to, really, with the games lineup due to be debuted at E3 in a couple of weeks. For now though, we thought we'd cobble together a list of all of the games that have been CONFIRMED as coming to Xbox One,...

Tearing up the track.

EA has confirmed that they'll be releasing the next entry in the Need For Speed series on November 19th for Xbox 360, and that they're also bringing it to Xbox One. Need For Speed: Rivals allows you to play either as a racer or a cop, and seemlessly transition between single player, co-op, and other multiplayer modes. In...

Off the island.

Polish game developer Techland is working on an all-new title for Xbox One and Xbox 360, which is set to be published by Warner Bros. in 2014. Dying Light is the name of the new title, and the Dead Island developers promise that the game will be a first-person survival horror title, featuring an open world, free running, and a...

Tidy bundles

With all the Xbox One news zooming around this week, you'd be forgiven for forgetting that there are still some massive titles headed to the Xbox 360 within the next few months. None of them is bigger than Grand Theft Auto V, and Rockstar have detailed the packages the special editions of the game that will be available when it hits...

You won't have to buy a second membership

In case you are wondering whether your current Xbox Live Gold membership can be transferred from your Xbox 360 to the new Xbox One, you can now breathe a sigh of relief because yes, it will. Speaking with the folks at Polygon, Microsoft confirmed that Xbox One owners won't have to cough up the cash for a...

But could Rash, Pimple, and Zitz now be coming to Xbox One?

After news broke that Rare may be bringing one of their many beloved franchises to this year’s E3, we decided to dig a little further to see if we could find any hints as to what they could be working on – besides the rumored Killer Instinct. While we didn’t happen to score anything...

And that's an understatement.

During Microsoft's hardware reveal event yesterday, not much was said about the new Kinect device itself. Sure, we saw what it could do in terms of navigating through menus and switching between The Price Is Right and the big NFL football match of the week, but what do we call the new device? "Kinect 2 for Xbox One"?...

Kinect One will help you shift the pounds

Microsoft has registered two domains this morning that could possibly point to one of the titles that they're set to reveal at E3 in a shade over two weeks' time. XboxFitness.info and XboxFitness.biz were picked up yesterday, while the company already owns the XboxFitness.com domain, and has done since...

Surprise, surprise!

To follow on from the wave of new information from last night's Xbox One reveal, new game announcements are slowly crawling out of the woodwork today. This time, it's the turn of Eidos-Montreal, who have announced that the much-awaited THIEF - the fourth game in the franchise - is in development for the new machine. Stephane...

Could be released in this millenium.

We first saw it at E3 back in 1842 (or so it seems), but Crytek's formerly-Kinect-only-formerly-first-person-formerly-RPG Ryse has been confirmed as an Xbox One title. The game's official site has changed to show a countdown to the Microsoft press conference at E3, where more will be revealed. Also, a message...

Jumping into the next generation feet first.

Welcome to the next generation, everyone. How are you liking it so far? If you took social media’s word for it, you’d think that Microsoft had turned up at their custom-built Xbox Reveal tent in Redmond, lined up a bunch of kittens on stage, and offered everyone in the crowd the chance to take...
