Xbox 360

One of the most requested features that came with the new generation of consoles was backwards compatibility. With the PS3 and Xbox 360 having a lifespan that lasted almost a decade by the time the new consoles were announced, it was unsurprising that people grew attached to their libraries of games, both from a sentimental and financial point of view. ...

At E3, Xbox made huge news when they surprised everyone by announcing that the Xbox One would become backwards compatible with 360 content. This was a hugely fan requested feature and was noticeably absent from the current lineup of next-gen consoles; unless we consider the PS4’s streaming program, PlayStation Now, that will let you stream PS1, PS2, and PS3 games ...

Licensed games are a pretty divisive topic in the gaming industry. For every five excellent licensed games, there seem to be ten that are absolutely horrible. Tomorrow, Batman: Arkham Knight will be released, and LEGO Jurassic World was released last week. In celebration of the release of these incredible games, I’ve compiled a list of ten incredible licensed games that prove that these ...

It seemed like a silly decision, especially because the prior generation had made this possible. For many, those old consoles and their games were either traded in, or sat and collected dust as newer consoles and games began ...

Remember when Skylanders and Disney Infinity were released, and there were little to no shortages of figures? That all changed when Nintendo tossed its red cap in the ring. For a company that used to make toys prior to video games, Nintendo’s done a remarkably poor job with its amiibos. Collectors have to be dedicated to deal with the shortages, ...

Since my article about motion controls has been published a few days a go, Microsoft’s head of Xbox, Phil Spencer has given an interview with Edge where he discussed the Kinect and plans for the device moving forward with the Xbox One. “We’ll continue to build functionality to make it a valuable part of the ecosystem,” was Spencer’s stance was ...

Like a fart in an elevator, remastered games are going no where, according to Capcom at least. The publisher of the Resident Evil and Street Fighter franchises have recently announced they plan to follow up the successful remastering of the original Resident Evil with more remasters of past favourites. During a recent financial briefing, the Japanese publisher announced, “HD remasters of our catalogue hit titles will ...

Christmas 2006, my family and I crowded around the TV after the turkey had been picked clean and watched in amazement as my little brother flailed his arms around hitting tennis balls, and throwing bowling balls, he was having a temper tantrum because I had taken over his brand new Nintendo Wii. It was the first time me or any ...
