The Halo franchise has been key to Microsoft's successes in the console market, with the Xbox exclusivity of the famed first-person shooter helping the Xbox 360 to fend off the PlayStation 3 in the battle of the previous-gen machines. After a slow start this time around, it's fair to say that the software giant needs a boost in order to make the ground up on the PlayStation 4, and today's announcement of Halo 5: Guardians will surely have fans of the popular franchise salivating in anticipation.
Microsoft is really ringing the changes today in order to boost console sales, and off the back of the news that the Xbox One will soon drop $100 off its price tag by removing the currently-bundled Kinect sensor, the software giant has also decided that in order to enjoy the likes of Netflix, Hulu and YouTube on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, users will no longer have to stump up for a Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.
It's been a couple of weeks since The Amazing Spider-Man 2 game first appeared on mobile devices after hitting the App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android users respectively, and now, the full-on Spider-Man experience has arrived for Xbox. As announced by Larry Hryb, better known to most as Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson, the title is now on sale for the Xbox 360 as well as Microsoft's all-new Xbox One, and if you've been waiting patiently to play this action-packed, movie-based epic, you can finally now get your fill.
The Microsoft Xbox One, which released towards the latter stages of last year, already boasts a sizeable catalog titles. But while those rocking the old Xbox 360 cannot enjoy the cutting-edge graphics offered by the latest machine, the range of games is much broader, and naturally, many gaming fans have appealed for Microsoft to introduce backwards compatibility with those old 360 games. Apparently, partner development lead Frank Savage suggested at last week's BUILD that the idea of an Xbox 360 emulator is not out of the question, although it remains unclear as to if, when or how such a feature would be achieved.

Titanfall has, without any doubt, been the most anticipated game to release so far in 2014, and today, Xbox One users can finally pick up their copy. Microsoft rolled out a big system update last week, with one of the main improvements being to bolster the infrastructure of online multiplayer in anticipation for Titanfall's release, and after much ado, interested parties can now dive straight into the action.
Microsoft pushed a rudimentary system update for its Xbox One console exactly one month ago, and at the time, we were informed that a further, more significant update would be following in March. As per a blog post from Larry Hryb, AKA Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson, the new bundle of features will begin rolling out as of today, and will include improved party and chat support, as well as preparing systems for next week's big release of Titanfall.
The age of the Titans is almost upon us, with the upcoming release of the game just around the bend, looming closer by the hour as we approach March 11. Respawn Entertainment’s masterpiece is one of the most anticipated gaming titles of the year, and that is more than evident from the release of Microsoft’s Xbox One Titanfall bundle offer, as well as the collector’s edition pack of the game announced back in October last year. Now, the developer has released an unboxing video for the “very limited” edition of the game, showing all the contents in full glory, from the 18-inch tall Titan to the game itself.
Microsoft's Xbox One has enjoyed a relatively solid first couple of month in terms of sales and general reception, but now the launch phase has commenced, the real work starts in the console's battle for supremacy against Sony's PlayStation 4.

Revealed to the world by Larry Hryb, better known in gaming circles as Major Nelson, it offers all the features one would expect of a remote, and will launch next month for the price of $24.99.

Titanfall is one of the most highly-anticipated début games we've seen in a long time, and with the exception of last year's monumental release of Grand Theft Auto 5 from Rockstar Games, it's probably the most-hyped title of the past four or five years. If you too cannot wait to get your hands on this title, which releases on March 11th in North America, then we're giving away some invite codes of Titanfall beta for Xbox One. So, if you're in ownership of Microsoft's latest and greatest console, and would like to test the waters of Titanfall before its release, then check out the details after the break!
