Xbox Live Gold subscribers are in for another solid month this April. Xbox One owners will be treated to Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and The Witness while 360 owners will be given Cars 2 and Dead Space 2 to keep. Remember, all 360 titles of...

Have no plans for this weekend? Why not stay home and check out some NBA 2K18 on Xbox One? Don't have a real interest in sports games? You can also download Overwatch or Rainbow Six Siege and get to shooting. But wait, don't those require X...

How can you survive without playing Metal Gear Survive? Isn't the wait killing you? Aren't you being played like a fiddle while waiting? While that last question doesn't make sense, neither does the existence of Metal Gear without its creat...

Coming at some point this year, Microsoft will be launching a "Career" system for gamer profiles that will follow you around through all of your activities on Xbox. This new effort is meant to reward people, such as esports players, who sti...

In the last issue, we celebrated the demise of Miiverse by looking back at some notable Miiverse posts. Originally, this issue was planned for December and was supposed to be holiday themed, with an emphasis on holiday-related oddities from...

Heading into the new year, Xbox is leaning heavily into mythical monsters for its first month of Games with Gold. January's packed with stuff that's tough to kill. On the Xbox One side of things, Xbox Live Gold subscribers get The Incredib...

December is a time for holiday cheer -- snow glistening on the ground, people singing about reindeer, hot chocolate in a thermos. All feel-good stuff. Xbox's Games with Gold for December harness none of that spirit. Next month, Xbox Live Go...

Microsoft has launched its giant Xbox Live Black Friday sale for 2017 - and the sale is very much worthy of the Black Friday name. We're spotting over one hundred games on sale, many of which are at a historic low price. You'll even find ev...

Microsoft has gotten a head-start on its Black Friday offerings, ahead of its official start date of November 23. (Ignoring of course that most companies start earlier than the day after Thanksgiving. All-out consumerism now spans the great...

We're a week away from Black Friday and the deals are about to start flowing uncontrollably. (Hmm there's probably a better way to phrase that.) If you're the type to pick up on Xbox Live's annual Deals with Gold Black Friday sale, then you...

November, the Thanksgiving month, is full of T-words if you look closely enough. Turkey, Tackle football, Talking politics at the dinner table even though you all know Uncle Gary is going to take things too far. Xbox has two more to add ...

The open beta for Star Wars Battlefront II is all the rage right now, but some people might not be sure if they want to pay for Xbox Live Gold or PlayStation Plus just to play a beta. I know I wouldn't, but I also have PC as an option. If y...

Strolls, not spooks, are the theme for October's Games with Gold on Xbox. Halloween would be the easy and obvious route, but next month's freebies for Xbox Live Gold subscribers mostly ignore that. Well, big deserted houses can be kind of ...

In the lead-up to October's launch of Forza 7, Microsoft will be giving out Forza 5 on Games with Gold next month. Alongside their flagship racing series comes Oxenfree on Xbox One, while 360 gamers will get Hydro Thunder Hurricane and Batt...

For a couple of months now, the selection of Games with Gold titles hasn't been too hot. Microsoft had continuously outdone Sony's choices on PS Plus for awhile, but then Sony seemed to pick things up and provide something other than obscur...

July is about the most dead video games get during the calendar year. Spring and fall are for new releases, and winter is for sales. June has E3 and August is when things ramp up to the holiday season. July is for fireworks and barbecues a...

Microsoft's Netflix like service, Xbox Game Pass, will be launching for the public on June 1. The service will open with 100 different games with a $10 per month price tag. Instead of streaming each game, like PlayStation Now, you'll actual...

Look, I'm going to be honest with you guys. I hate Assassin's Creed III. I understand some people feel it is a great game and it does have a very interesting setting, but it was easily one of the worst titles of 2012. I didn't even play it ...

We've had this odd trend where the recent free games on offer from both Xbox Live Gold and PlayStation Plus have been going down in quality. Looking at just Microsoft's service, the last few months have been pretty spotty. May doesn't seem ...

Call me a hypocrite, but I think the trailer for Dead Rising 4: Frank Rising looks decent. The main game did basically nothing positive to change the Dead Rising formula, but playing as a zombie is something that was never even tackled. I d...

April is a solid month for Xbox's Games with Gold program, but not in the way it usually is. Typically, of the four free titles, there are one or two standouts that makes the whole month a success. That's not quite what's happening here. I...

Are you an owner of an Xbox One who couldn't get a Switch today? Maybe you did, but weren't able to buy Breath of the Wild...although you could just grab it digitally. There is also the third option of you being an Xbox One owner and only w...

I'm a little shocked at the game selection for Games with Gold next month. Usually Microsoft kills it in terms of big-name titles or critically acclaimed indie hits. This month, though, we're getting a bunch of nonsense on the Xbox One and ...

Microsoft is holding a free multiplayer weekend for Xbox Live starting tomorrow. Along with the reduced barrier to entry comes the chance to play Rocket League and NBA 2K17 for free, too. Since Live is a paid service on both the 360 and One...
