The Xbox One X is a powerful system. One of the big selling points of the system is that not only will older games run better on the system, many will see significant visual enhancements. One of the surprises of the Xbox One X launch, though, was that Xbox 360 games would be getting bespoke enhancements in addition to the many Xbox One titles that would be seeing improvements. Now, a...
The Xbox One X, the system Microsoft calls “the most powerful console ever,” is nearly here. While we can’t dig into our impressions just yet, we wanted to take a look back at Xbox through the years. So we got the whole family together – with a couple minor exceptions – for some photos. We couldn’t get them to all dress up in the same sweaters, but we did manage to get them into a few...
Time for my annual look at video games that are turning 10-years-old, and if you thought last year was bad, then 2007 is making me even more insecure about my age! How the hell am I supposed to write about Mass Effect in a retro sense? This isn't Final Fantasy or Super Mario, it's Mass Effect! It just doesn't make any sense in the least. I mean, I wasn't a kid when it came out. I was...
Microsoft’s Xbox team has announced what they’ve dubbed their “Biggest Sale Ever.” It’s absolutely massive, and just in time for the holidays. Maybe you’ll buy a game for a loved one, or maybe you’ll pick up something to play while you’re on vacation. Either way, you could save some serious scratch here. Oh, and if you still haven’t played Red Dead Redemption, it’s backwards...

Final Fantasy XI is one of the longest running, officially supported MMORPGs on the planet, but March marks the end of two platforms that it can be enjoyed on. Both the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 versions will be given the ax on March 31 at 6am PST. Those who are still not ready to wrap up their time in Vana’diel will be able to transfer their character data over to the Windows version...
And no, we're not talking NiGHTS or Panzer Dragoon Saga. On January 25, 1996 , classic game developer Treasure released Guardian Heroes onto the Earth, a game that would eventually go down in history as one of the studio's most timeless masterpieces. And when a game is put in the same category as treasures such as Ikaruga, Radiant Silvergun, and the one and only Gunstar Heroes, you must...
Alongside fan favorite Xbox 360 title Doritos Crash Course, a smaller and lesser-known title called Halo: Reach was added to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility list a couple weeks back. I’ve only really gone back to play Spelunky and Pac-Mac CE DX+, but others players have put in some time with the Halo prequel and found its performance to be somewhat lacking. Where the game holds...
The holidays are upon us, and now is a good time to pick up a game for yourself to survive that family visit.

So take a look through the list below, but act quickly as some of these prices expire in just two days! Controllers Thrustmaster GPX LightBack Xbox 360 and PC...
I mean, what exactly is going on in this gameplay footage? We know that Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster will come with a brand new Wesker Mode, swapping out the usual protagonist Billy for the franchise’s leading villain Wesker, but does he have to look like such a goofball? I mean, who runs like that? Wesker isn’t like your normal Resident Evil characters. He’s not prone to stupid...
