Might as well get to the bulk of my E3 coverage this year: the actual presentation by the major players — at least, the ones I care to share here directly. As I’ve made known over the years, I only pay as much attention to E3 as I need to to be aware of what’s …

The Xbox 360 Has Its First System Update In 2 Years. Yes, Seriously.
Last night I fired up one of my Xbox 360’s for a little bit of gaming before bed. I was rather surprised when I did turn the console on to discover I had a system update waiting. This would be the first update in 2 years, to a console that’s well past end of life …

The Kinect Is Dead
So, in more gaming news over the past few days, Microsoft announced that they were ending sales of the Kinect accessory and, I can only presume, no more game software will be released that supports, or at least none that will absolutely require, the device. I’d say, about time. While the Kinect in principle isn’t …

Let The E3 2017 Coverage Begin!
Just because I’m “not excited for E3” doesn’t mean the news presented at the event doesn’t excite me! It certainly does, and had you read that previous article carefully you would have seen the point is the information, not the event itself – the event is archaic, but the news shared isn’t. No, I’m Not …

Xbox Game Pass – It Seems Alright To Me
Upon waking up today I looked through twitter, as I do every day, and found Xbox’s “Major Nelson” tweeting about a new service coming to the Xbox brand: Xbox Game Pass. https://majornelson.com/2017/02/28/introducing-xbox-game-pass-unlimited-access-to-more-than-100-games/ This is pretty straightforward service, from the looks of things: Pay about $10 a month and have a selection of full games to …
