Microsoft came out with all guns blazing this year, something they had to do considering that they are lagging behind Sony and the PlayStation 4 in terms of sales. Their media briefing was jam packed with games and announcements that they probably hope will get you to upgrade from your Xbox 360 to a shiny new Xbox One. The media briefing isn’t the end for Microsoft though in terms of news. They have confirmed they’ll be making further information about unannounced titles and features for the Xbox One in the coming days throughout E3 and will also have details about other games at other events in the near future. So let’s take a look at everything we learned from Microsoft this E3. Play All Your Old Games Although Microsoft have long since said that backwards compatibility was not something that was possible, Phil Spencer revealed that the Xbox team have managed to do just that. Starting from this holiday, gamers will be able to play Xbox 360 games on the

Mega Coin Squad (Xbox One) Review

Mega Coin Squad (Xbox One) Review

Video game characters seem to be either constantly in need of some cash or suffer with severe OCD. It’s the only way to explain why they are so often obsessed with collecting coins, rings and treasure when they are supposed to be recusing princesses or saving the world. Big Pixel Studios have taken a different approach with their game Mega Coin Squad by making the entire focus of the game the collection of coins to deposit in a piggy bank. Surprisingly, the game holds up incredibly well despite this very simple premise. The game essentially revolves around travelling through an assortment of levels, avoiding enemies and collecting coins. However, some interesting gameplay mechanics make Mega Coin Squad a far more in-depth game than you might think. It follows the time honored tradition of being easy to pick up and play but fiendishly difficult to master. The single player experience introduces you to the five main characters and then chucks you into one of the four worlds to start your adventure.

Rogue Legacy (Xbox One) Review

Rogue Legacy (Xbox One) Review

Rogue Legacy is an indie platformer that has been around on PC since June 2013. Last summer it saw ports finally hit home consoles when it became available on the PlayStation Store for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. Xbox One gamers though haven’t had a chance to play the highly regarded title until now. Toronto-based developer Cellar Door Games trusted the port to Abstraction Games, the team who were responsible for the PlayStation versions of the game, but does the Xbox One version hold up? The first thing you will notice when you load up and start playing Rogue Legacy is that it does not look like a game that is already two years old. This is thanks to its retro look that takes a very similar approach to Shovel Knight, in attempting to harken back to the days of 8-bit and 16-bit platformers that were tough-as-nails. Although plenty of games in recent times have decided to go down the ‘old-school’ root in an attempt to gain nostalgia

Project Root (Xbox One) Review

Project Root (Xbox One) Review

The shoot ‘em up genre has seen something of a resurgence in recent years, with bullet hell games in particular becoming ever more popular across a variety of platforms. The Xbox One though is lagging behind in this regard with very few titles available that will satisfy fans of the genre. That has now changed with the latest release of Project Root on the console, a game that has already been on other platforms for some time. What is intriguing about this particular game though is that it goes against some of the fundamental gameplay principles of traditional shoot ‘em up titles. Rather than forcing the player to travel in one direction, such as a vertically or horizontally scrolling screen, Project Root allows for more freedom. You can choose to go in any direction you wish and freely roam the world while controlling the ship from a more established top-down camera angle. This interesting change in the gameplay formula makes for a novel way of going about tackling the objectives,

EA has today made available every piece of DLC for their hit first-person shooter Titanfall free to download. Players can now grab the extra content at no cost for both the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, with the packs available to download separately or as part of the Season Pass. The full list of DLC includes the Expedition DLC, Frontier’s Edge DLC and the IMC Rising pack. Neither EA, Respawn Entertainment nor Microsoft have announced the apparent deal. This has led some to speculate that the sale may be an error but the timing also indicates that it may be a way of celebrating Titanfall’s one-year anniversary. Users do not need to own the game in order to download the content, so even if you currently haven’t played Titanfall it may be worth purchasing it at the free price. This is especially useful as it is unclear how long the content will be available at this price. This means that if get the game in the future you will be
