An Odd Quirk About Halo 3 Game Saves
So, I’ve been playing Halo 3 recently. Both on the Xbox One, via The Master Chief Collection, and the original Xbox 360 release from 2007. It’s a fun game, sure, and since I own a copy, why not go ahead and play through it on the 360 as well as the Xbox One, right? It’s …

Xbox One S
What better to start my E3 2016 posts with than what is probably the most major “ready to go” product announcement this year: the new, slimline Xbox One. I make no effort to hide that I am an Xbox fan now. Oddly, it was the Xbox One that made me want to try Microsoft’s hardware, …

May 2016 Xbox Live Games with Gold
Microsoft released the new Games With Gold video for the month of may, and sadly, I have to say this months Games With Gold listing is not as good as it could be. The titles present don’t look bad, but at the same rate, they don’t strike me as anything to leap for. Let’s look …
