featuring more zombie death from the Xbox One exclusive.

It shows more of the game's vehicles, locations and wacky weapons

which you'll be using to slice through the dense zombie hordes.

Some GORE included in the following clip, so be warned.

Microsoft recently detailed the exclusive content that will be included in the Day One editions of its first-party Xbox One games, which includes Dead Rising 2, Forza 5 and Ryse.

Testing Testing..... Is This

Thing On

Xbox One is going to come with a brand new headset that is

supposed to be much higher quality, as we would hope.

But is this new headset all it is cracked up to be?

It looks much more sleek and comfortable than the old 360 model,

and it has a wider base of support and all the controls right up

near the controller rather than dangling on the cord.

But looks aren't everything, we also want the sound quality to be increased.

To show off the new and improved sound quality Major Nelson did a sound check.

Microsoft also stated in a recent interview that the sound quality will be integrated with Skype.

"Thanks to integration with Skype's audio codec, which has a proven track record of high-quality voice through billions of hours of use within Skype, as well as dedicated audio processing, Xbox One offers higher quality voice chat with the Xbox One Chat Headset compared to Xbox 360," said Microsoft.

"The Xbox One Wireless Controller's new expansion port dramatically expands the data transfer rate between the controller and console," it adds.

"Combined with Skype's audio codec, this enables crystal-clear digital audio with the Xbox One Chat Headset, both capturing and rendering speech at 24 KHz PCM, which is triple the rendering sample rate and a 50 percent capture rate improvement over Xbox 360 headsets."

Not Sure If You Noticed

But You Just Paid In Real Currency

Today when you hopped on your Xbox 360 (figuratively)

you probably got prompted to update.

That is if you have Xbox Live Gold.

This update had only one purpose in mind and that was to change

from the old "Microsoft Points" to actual real life currency.

So for me here in the US I know see Dollar Signs ($)

When I want to purchase a new game or get DLC.

In my opinion this is great I was tired of buying Microsoft point

just to pay for something else.

To me this makes things a lot less confusing and a little more streamline.

But enough about me, What do you think about this update?

Recent Update:

Current Microsoft point can be converted but will only be available until

June 1, 2015.

Borderlands 2 is Finally Going

To Get A Game Of The Year Edition

Game Of The Year Edition

Now this has not yet been confirmed, only rumored.

It has been about a year since the release of the game so it could only make sense.

IGN caught up with Bungie's community Deej to get a quick interview with him about destiny from gamescom, he gives a quick briefing about features, types of weapons and classes

So here is the interview.

This is actually new to me as I have just stumbled upon some news about this Xbox One feature after it has been known for a couple of months, it's called Xbox One upload studio.

Xbox One upload studio is a tool that allows users to edit, theme and share videos they have recorded from their video games and present them on their own channel for other gamers to see. Each users channel will most likely be attached to and accessible from that users own Xbox One profile.

If you had an amazing, funny or weird moment while playing a game you could record it and upload it to your channel for the Xbox community to see.

Quoted from

"At EVO 2013, one fan went undefeated for hours in “Killer Instinct” until at long last the best player on the “Killer Instinct” development team was able to defeat them. Using Game DVR, they were able to record the best parts of the highly competitive set of three matches. With Upload Studio, they were able to quickly turn it into a stylized video clip that could be shown off locally, like during a panel at Comic-Con, or broadcast through Xbox Live for the world to see."

"If you want to share gameplay footage immediately without editing it, Xbox One also supports that. Simply say “Xbox record” at any time and the console will record what happens next for you to send to your friends or upload to the Internet."

Here is a video from IGN with Xbox's Creative Director Matt White giving a brief walkthrough on how it works.

It's been six months since Bungie's last vidoc "Pathways out of darkness" where we got our first big scoop at destiny and our first ever glimpse at in game content which was then followed by the E3 demo a few months later. Now Bungie has revealed their new vidoc where they will take us a little further into the game with new info and what they have planned for their next big title.

Here is Bungies new vidoc on Destiny "Out here in the wild".

Sony's PS4 appears to feature more games that cater to all age groups with their original line up.

Microsoft has opened the way for independent developers to use the ID@Xbox program to potentially become a registered XBOX One developer. This type of program is similar to Bugie's Aerospace project that launched back in 2011. The difference here is the ability to produce games directly for a console, given you have a proven record of shipping games for console, PC, phone or tablet use.

Here is the story as it originally appeared in

Microsoft unveils Xbox One indie developer self-publishing program

By Wesley Yin-Poole

Microsoft has unveiled its Xbox One indie developer self-publishing program.

Microsoft said it met with more than 50 developers to learn what they wanted from a self-publishing program, and ID@Xbox, as it's known, is the result.

Under the new rules, each registered developer will receive two development kits at no cost, and developers will have access to the full power of the console, cloud services, Kinect and the Xbox Live toolset, which includes Xbox SmartGlass, multiplayer, Achievements and Gamerscore, among other things.

Applications to the ID@Xbox Program will be accepted from 20th August at

Microsoft said this status will be granted "with priority" to independent game developers "who have a proven track record of shipping games on console, PC, mobile or tablet", suggesting Microsoft has stopped short of creating a true open platform in the vein of the App Store.

Crucially, there are no application fees, and as with Xbox 360, there are no fees for certification or title updates.

Developers will also benefit from a global support team, headed up by ID@Xbox director Chris Charla. Charla's brief is to maintain personal communication with developers. Community managers will provide quick responses to submissions, and a number of events are planned to explain how the process will work.

A chief concern among indie devs is how their games will be discovered by gamers who use the Xbox One.

Microsoft said all games are located together on the Xbox One Store, and "rich search scenarios" using voice through Kinect will enable easy discoverability.

Trending will showcase what friends and the community are playing, Recommendations will bring forward new games based on what you like to play, Spotlight showcases Editor Picks and, with the Xbox One's Game DVR and Upload feature, new games will be found as gamers capture and share videos. Developers will also be able to create special events out of Achievements and Challenges.

The initial phase of the program will begin this autumn, but longer term Microsoft plans to enable any Xbox One console to be used as a development kit for self-publishing purposes. "This means that any hobbyist with a great game idea can make it come to life on Xbox One," Microsoft said.

"We know Xbox fans will fall in love with the quality and diversity of games on our platform," Marc Whitten, Xbox Chief Product Officer, said. "We are committed to ID@Xbox and are fully invested in helping independent developers succeed on Xbox One."

Microsoft EMEA boss Phil Harrison added: "I am really looking forward to the diversity and creativity of games that will come to Xbox One through the ID@Xbox program. We've worked with the community of developers to craft a platform that helps creators self-publish on Xbox One - irrespective of their size or location."

One indie developer already convinced by Microsoft's new initiative is SpyParty creator Chris Hecker: "I'm really excited that Microsoft has listened to feedback from developers and created this program," he said.

"As an independent developer, I want SpyParty to be available to as many players as possible, and it feels like Microsoft is interested in not only removing roadblocks for indies to get their games on Xbox One, but they're also genuinely interested in finding ways to bring new and innovative indie games to their platform to help games reach their potential as an art and entertainment form."

Assassins Creed IV Black Flag will not only be bringing back the classic style game play that die hard 'Creed' fans love, but also a new feature that will offer players a whole new way to explore the environment around them. The new underwater swimming experience opens up a vast area for the player to explore and find treasure, upgrades for their ship and other hidden items. You will have the same type of free roam ability under the oceans, seas and lagoons that you find on land except that here you will have no weapons for defense. This means when you encounter sharks, jelly fish, manta rays and various other dangerous sea creatures you must use the environment and stealth to avoid attacks and elude predators because you are the prey underwater.

The new experience will allow you to traverse the entire oceans, if you choose, underwater. The one catch is that you need to be wary of your air supply. When diving close to your ship the crew will provide an air bell for use, but in more distant locations you will have to seek out air pockets under rock shelves and in caves.

There will be a diverse underwater environment that features ship wrecks, coral reefs, under water caves, lagoons and trenches that are carpeted with lush seaweed beds, sand, clams and filled with all manner of underwater life. In an video interview with producer Arnaud Vaudour, Tom Bramwell of

The list of games that will be available at the launch of the XBOX One was revealed today. It was also stated that pre-ordered XBOX One's for Europe will come with a digital copy of FIFA 14, while supplies last. Call of Duty: Ghosts will have dedicated servers on Xbox One thanks to the cloud storage system Activision announced during a Gamescom 2013 press briefing. The game will also be available in a special console design bundle with the Xbox One. Microsoft also revealed Fable Legends as a new incarnation of the series. Lionhead Studios will include a 4-player co-op for the first time and SmartGlass compatibility.

Microsoft has announced that Xbox.com's PC market place will be shut down next week an article from

“As part of the upcoming Xbox 360 system update, Microsoft Points will be retired, and the Xbox.com PC marketplace will be closed as of August 22, 2013. We encourage you to spend your Microsoft Points balance prior to this change. Although you will not be able to purchase new games, you can continue to enjoy previously purchased content by downloading them through the Games for Windows LIVE client software as usual."

For those who have been planning to purchase any games from the PC market place get them quick as there is only 6 day's until the market place is shut down.

When I first read this I kind of laughed, but then thought it is better than nothing. Having to buy a game you already own again just to play it on a the new XBOX One is, well, kind of a put off. I mean you want a game when it first hits the market, then realize you have to shell out another $60.00 for another copy plus the $500.00 for the new console. I guess my initial laugh was based on the thought, "Who is willing to pay $120.00 for a game when they can wait a month or two and get it for $60.00?" The DLC seems hardly any kind of an inducement to pay out that kind of money.

I am not the one who could legitimately speak to the new console being backwards compatible for 360 games, but can figure the need for a dual purpose disk reader and supporting hardware/software may not be an easy task or financially viable. Hopefully someone who knows that field better than I can explain that matter.

Here is the original story that caught my attention, plus the link to XBOX Wire for the statement in their own words.

Microsoft's Xbox 360-One Season Pass Guarantee

Most carry across. But there's a catch...

By Robert Purchese Thursday, 15 August 2013

story found @ eurogamer.net

Microsoft's Xbox chief Marc Whitten posted on xbox.com that a digital sharing system will be coming to Xbox One called "Home Gold". Not long after E3 Microsoft reversed a lot of their policies after a high amount of negative feed back from their fan base one of the features they removed was family sharing, a feature that allowed an Xbox One user to access games from their friends library if they chose to share it with them.

Well Microsoft seems to be bringing this feature or a similar feature to the Xbox One which will allow users to access a friends game library from their account.

Home Gold was hinted at earlier this year at E3, and now we have the full details. Although called Home Gold, the feature isn’t necessarily limited to one’s physical home, but instead is applicable to those who are using the Xbox One with the Live Gold subscriber. At the subscriber’s home, the Xbox One console can be setup to enable Live Gold features to other residents regardless of whether the subscriber is logged in to his or her account.

Elsewhere, the subscriber can log into their account on a different console (such as at a friend’s house) and extend those same Live Gold features to the other users. Benefits of this include multi-player gaming and access to the entertainment apps. For the gamer’s primary (home) Xbox One, Home Gold is extended to an unlimited number of gamers. Elsewhere, those using the console will have access to the Gold features while the subscriber is logged in.

Home Gold aside, Microsoft also detailed the sharing of digital games, which is available amongst the users in one’s home. A single library can harbor games purchased by multiple users, and those users can then log in and play one of those games, even if the original buyer isn’t logged into his or her account.

Buying a game on a different Xbox One while signed in will result in the game being made available on the gamer’s own console, and a gamer’s digital downloads can be played on a friend’s console by signing in. The statement also specifies that most of the digital games don’t require the gamer to be connected to the Internet, but that the “experience” is better if one is.

Okay, we have been teased with video clips of the new game type "Conversion" for a couple of days now and finally Psycho Duck has released a completely detailed video on the game type. He discusses the idea behind "Conversion", how the game plays and what gap it fills in the playlist for the community.

It appears the is a brand new game type that has been created and THFE (The Halo Forge Epidemic) has the inside scoop on it! Here is a recently released video that teases the view with a glimpse of some game play footage of this intriguing new game type. Take a look.
