Project Scorpio is official, and it’s coming in the holiday of 2017.

Demonstrated at Microsoft’s press conference today—yes, a JRPG at a Microsoft press conference!—here’s the Titan battle in Final Fantasy XV. Presumably you get to summon him once you take him down.

It’s raining free Xbox games! Only a few days after Fallout 4 accidentally went on sale for $0.00 on the Xbox Store, the brilliant death simulator Limbo is now also free. Though this reduction looks more deliberate. The “try it free” and strike through the $9.99 price clearly show that this is meant to be…
GTA Online’s newest big free add-on is out today. Further Adventures In Finance and Felony adds the ability to serve as an in-game CEO as well as a “trading places” PvP mode that swaps you and the person you kill from one team to the other–if you were in the losing team. Sounds crazy! More…

Later this year we’ll see a cheaper, smaller Xbox One, and next year Microsoft will release a more powerful version of their premiere console. The 2017 Xbox, which is codenamed Scorpio, will have a more powerful…
Glitches and wobbles aside, Homefront: The Revolution is an adequate shooter that features some interesting moments. It isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. America was invaded by North Korea in the events leading up to the original 2011 Homefront. In this sequel, you play as Ethan Brady, part of a guerrilla resistance that is…
The new Doom, really, is rather like the old Doom. You fight swarms of hulking demons. You never stop moving for fear of being swamped in laser fire, missiles, and pile-driving hell knights.
