Microsoft should have went first

3d ago ... Highlights and reactions MS new console will be officially known as “Xbox One” Multi-Media: Great multi-media services, and nice Kinect controls (I called the gestures and voice control last year), but I could care less. Guess the former MS rep who quit wasn’t lying. Xbox One specs: 8-Core CPU, 8GB of RAM (no confirmation of DD3 / DDR5), 500GB HDD, Blu Ray, HDMI, USB 3.0. Xbox One...

My top 5 stupid lies about nintendo in the last days.

6d ago ... 5-"Frostbite 2 didn’t run well on the Wii U" Frostbite 2 supposedly didn’t run well on the Wii U… but Cry engine 3, which produced arguably the most graphically intensive experience to date for consoles with Crysis 3… was running on the Wii U… and running very well. But hey, that Frostbite 2… it can’t do it! The fact is that the console contains the necessary requirements to play B2 (B2 M...

The Two Things Nintendo Needs to Turn the Wii U Around

6d ago ... Before I even begin, let me just go ahead and say this. Nintendo is NEVER going to convince anyone who didn't own and Wii or a DS or a 3DS to buy a Wii U. Ever. If you were a firm supporter of the PS3 or the Xbox 360 you've made up your mind on who to follow long ago and Nintendo's latest console isn't going to change anybody else's opinions. However, I think that Nintendo can have just as much...

My Opinion on EA's Bob Summerwill Tweet-Attack

7d ago ... . . . Adam Orth made history a few months ago, with the infamous "Deal with it" remark he spouted when asked about the supposed always-online functionality that would be in the next-XBOX, a feature that has now been confirmed to be null. Now, yet another high-in-position employee has said something so undeniably stupid, you think they just drank an entire can of "Trollaid" and now they're on fu...

Will the PS3 and 360 Trip Their Successors?

15d ago ... Some of you may have just looked at that question and started laughing. You may be thinking "What is this idiot talking about? When PS4 and 720 come out, people will be running for the shelves!" Well, that could be true, but when it comes down to the launches of the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox 720 - I can't help but think that the strong presence that their predecessors now have will most lik...

3 Reasons Why I Prefer PS3 over Xbox.

15d ago ... With the current gen currently preparing itself to bow out and welcome there more powerful brothers, I can't help but feel an air of sadness, with the current gen offering top quality gaming/services, making friends (and enemies also) from all corners of the globe has never been easier, new content for beloved games is easily accessible and quick to access. And as the curtain closes, I can't...

Top ten reasons why this was the best generation ever.

37d ago ... Next Gen is almost here but before we move on to the next one lets recap gaming's awesome accomplishments this gen. This is the stuff that made MS, Sony and Nintendo who they are today. In no particular order. 1. In the beginning there was light...a red light. Remember when the Xbox 360 came out? Yeah.. that. It was a mess, the red ring of death was like a plague killing gamer's consoles li...

Who Will Win the Next-Gen? Here's the Answer

43d ago ... So here we go, Sony and Microsoft have been against each other in the console wars since 2005 when the first Xbox came and competed against the PS2. Then, a couple of years later, the PS3 came out and was right against the Xbox 360. Now here in the year 2013, this past February on the 20th, the PS3 successor has been announced and is known as the PS4. With so little time left until E3 2013,...

Nextbox: More Popular than PS4

49d ago ... ...and that's what Microsoft wants. The old adage: "No publicity is bad publicity" rings true for Microsoft as a result of the latest round of rumours regarding the next Xbox requiring an internet connection in order to play. Microsoft, without having spent a dime on a flashy presentation (or actual technology), have gotten the entire gaming world talking about the successor to the Xbox 3...

Three things Microsoft can do for their Next-Gen Xbox

52d ago ... Amidst all the rumors and speculation regarding Microsoft's next generation gaming console, their success with the Xbox 360 is nothing short of a milestone achievement for the Redmond company, especially when compared to their initial entrance into the console gaming market with the original Xbox. Being the first console to launch the seventh generation back in 2005, Microsoft were primed an...

Xbox 360, 8 years later and still going strong, Part 2 ( The issues edition)

60d ago ... A few days ago I posted an article regarding the Xbox 360 and how I felt it has been strong for 8 years. I pointed out that the Xbox live has continued to be strong with an expanding user interface, social capabilities and apps. I also mentioned that the system has had a strong library of games from the beginning of its experience and has provided some incredible blockbusters. In light of a...

Xbox 360, 8 years and going strong

63d ago ... When the Xbox 360 decided to come out in 2005 no one had an idea of how revolutionary this system was going to be. It had a fantastic library of games and a small community following from the original Xbox. What gamer's were not prepared for was the excellent ride they were going to experience for the following 8 years. It is no secret that Xbox 360 has revolutionized the gaming space wit...

Getting your Xbox profile back. Not!

68d ago ... I have 2 Xbox 360's so this is not about how the Xbox sucks and it's not about how the Xbox live sucks. It is about how to get your profile back. You can't. Microsoft has locked down Xbox live like Ft. Knox. I understand why they have. They don't want to be hacked and after what happened to the Psn network who could blame them. The problem lies in how to get your profile back when somethin...

I Miss Metal Gear Online...

96d ago ... I used to be really into online multiplayer games. When Call of Duty 4 was released, I probably went to my friends house everyday just to get on his Xbox 360 and play it; it's fair to say that I was addicted. A year later, my friends older brother purchased a Playstation 3 for a little game called Metal Gear Solid 4, which he said he'd been waiting for for more than 3 years. Me, being the littl...

Do not blame Xbox for Final Fantasy 13.

105d ago ... Hi guys. I am a huge Final Fantasy fan, but I wouldn't say I am as nuts about the franchise as some people. Sure, I have a cool avatar, but I can't give you the most in depth information on Square like other members of this site. I can't list all the game designers, composers etc included in the Final Fantasy franchise. What I am sure of is that I love the games and that is what matters most. I...

PS3 passes 360: M$ wins the generation

127d ago ... Recent reports suggest that the PS3 has passed the Xbox 360 in sales. On N4G we've seen articles saying that it really doesn't matter, and we've seen users disagree. This blog is meant to explain all of these articles that all have titles along the lines of "PS3 passes Xbox, so what?" Back in 2005, it was common on the internet to see the fanboys of the day raving about how the Xbox 360 woul...

PS3 Nudging Ahead of 360 DOES Matter

132d ago ... It isn't about the console wars. Playstation 3 pulling itself ahead of the Xbox 360 in sales means more than throwing wadded up sales charts at each other (though the Playstation fans have handled the lead in the HD console race with a lot more maturity). The importance behind this event is the implied principles. While the report is technically unofficial, the Ps3 and 360 have been neck a...

E3 2013 Predictions

134d ago ... E3 predictions that aren't too absurd (like Jak IV and a new Syphon Filter, Versus 13, and Agent) SONY: Shows much needed support for PS Vita, including always welcomed console ports along with some fresh new IP's that I believe will change peoples minds. I think they will update the firmware with some handy new features as well. On the PS3 side of things, they will give Ubisoft some more sho...

Will Microsoft Support The Xbox 720 In Japan?

142d ago ... Xbox 360 failed horribly in Japan. Knowing Microsoft, they hate losing and wont give up, the best example of this is in the saying "If you cant beat them, join them", but in Microsoft's case its "If you cant beat them, buy them". Microsoft couldn't compete with Skype or Yahoo, so they decided to go out and buy them. My idea is that Microsoft will try really hard next gen to get Japan to l...

Video Game Decline | a Gamer's POV

156d ago ... It cannot be denied that this year in video gaming has been disturbingly lacklustre, with a small handful of the occasional high points that inevitably faded away as if it never happened. In an article written in October by Zacks Equity Research, video game sales have declined for the tenth consecutive month in September. According to market research firm NPD, U.S video game store sales slumped...
