This year, we are finally starting up the 8th generation console wars. Nintendo started it with the release of the Wii U. Sony and Microsoft are joining the war later this year with the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, respectively. For some gamers, they think it was about time and the 7th generation should have…
In a press statement released earlier today, Microsoft announced that they will be changing their online and game sharing polices for their upcoming Xbox One gaming console. The full press statement can be found here, but here are three important highlights: First, the Xbox One will not need to connect to Microsoft’s servers every 24…
When Microsoft announced the Xbox One several weeks ago, I don’t think they expected the gaming public to be so angry with all the restrictions they implemented on their upcoming system. Because of this, it was extremely important for Microsoft to have a great showing for their press conference in E3. Now that they just…
The major console manufacturers (Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo) are gearing up for this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. But you and I know it as E3. As per the usual practice, they’ll be presenting their own press conferences detailing why their console is the one you should buy. Microsoft is slated to have their show first…
It’s been a week since Microsoft made a big presentation of their upcoming console, the Xbox One. While I’ve already given my impressions on the press conference the day it happened, more information regarding this next generation console have been leaking out to the public. I’d like to give my thoughts and impressions on them.…
Various video game news sites like Joystiq and Gamestop are now reporting that Microsoft’s latest console, the Xbox One will be region locked. This point is extremely important for gamers (like me) who live in third world countries. This is because, not only do we have to specifically choose which console to purchase, we’ll also have…
What’s with May 21? Not only did Microsoft have it’s Xbox One reveal, new trailers for both The Lone Ranger and The Wolverine were released on that day as well. It turns out that I actually missed the fact that the latest Man of Steel trailer is now available as well. If the bad guy…
Microsoft just finished their press conference revealing their next generation console, the Xbox One (not a number but the word itself). The press conference didn’t really show the games but the ones that they did show were pretty impressive (which I’ll get into later). The press conference mostly covered the power and the non-gaming features that…
Almost forgot! Microsoft will actually be showing off their next generation console later today. Or, if you’re in the Philippines (like me), tomorrow at 1AM. I’ll be staying up and praying that my Internet can manage to stream the event. If you want to watch the event live as well, you can go to the…
Sony just released the announcement trailer for their latest console, the Playstation 4. While you never really get a good look at the console itself (since the pics are either blurry or zoomed in really close), it does show that the console is already completed. Sony will reveal the new console on June 10, just…
