Gears of War is unanimously one of the flagship titles for any of Microsoft’s consoles. To date, the franchise combined has sold over twenty-two million copies – grossing in just over $1 Billion dollars. With this acquisition, Microsoft hopes to continue giving the fans even more Gears of War games and merchandise. Currently, there are four Gears of War titles but it’s likely we can expect to see more news on this soon – perhaps E3? We can only hope…Read More

Fable Anniversary Announced For Holiday Season 2013
Posted on June 4, 2013 by Joshua Rust
Probably one of my favorite Microsoft exclusive franchises ever is Fable. I know that many fans of the original game weren’t as pleased with the two sequels, a Kinect game, and Peter Molyneux’s “promises”. Regardless of that, the first Fable is a classic…a Halo in it’s own right. Nothing pleases me more to report that Lionhead Studios and Microsoft have finally decided to re-release it in HD on the Xbox 360 this winter.
This new re-release, titled Fable Anniversary, will feature overhauled graphics, achievements (yay!), an all new interface, “near” instant loading times, a new save system, and even leaderboards to track who is the chicken kicking king (or queen).
In addition it will also come with the Lost Chapters DLC (which is a big plus…and really, why wouldn’t they?) and it even has Smartglass support. Now word on what kind of support, but a mini-map would be freaking awesome.
Lead Designer Ted Timmins had this to say about Fable Anniversary:
“We’re really excited to bring ‘Fable’ to Xbox 360. It’s the game that the ‘Fable’ community has been asking for, so we wanted to make sure ‘Fable Anniversary’ delivered the definitive ‘Fable’ experience for both long-time fans and newcomers to the franchise.”
This has got to be one of the best years in gaming so far, I can wait to see what E3 brings and I can’t wait for this Holiday season to get here!

Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition Coming To Retail
Posted on March 13, 2013 by Joshua Rust
I guess after selling over 5 million copies over Xbox Live Arcade, it’s fair to say that Minecraft is a huge success on the Xbox 360 and deserves a retail copy. I know that there are people out there who for one reason or another have not had a chance to experience what Minecraft has to offer due to data limit or no internet connection at all.
4J Studios will cater to those people who can’t or don’t want to purchase it over Xbox Live Arcade starting on April 30th when Minecraft hits retail stores. There will be no difference from the downloadable counterpart of the game, but it will have all of the previous updates that the downloadable version has plus the upcoming “ninth update” which will add additional features as well. As expected, the retail version will receive all future updates also.
Who has been holding off for this to hit retail and is excited to see it finally makes it’s way onto disc?
