It is not often that we find Microsoft apologizing for an issue with one of their flagship games, it comes as a supirse when Microsoft announced that a place holder file may be all people who downloaded Halo 5 guardiands got this week. If you use the instant on feature, and pre-ordered you may have ended up getting burned on this one. Though Microsoft says  only a “small number of players” are effected.

People who downloaded this stub file will need to delete it and reinstall the right one. You can check to see if you installed the stub file by following the instructions below:

  1. Go to My games & apps
  2. Sort your game collection by selecting Installed à Sort by size
  3. If your Halo 5: Guardians game size is greater than 40 GB, you’ve got the correct version
  4. If your Halo 5: Guardians game size is less than 40 GB, you’ve got an incorrect stub file.

if you got the incorrect file you will need to re-install.

Pre-Order Bonuses For Transformers: Devastation Announced

Posted on September 2, 2015 by Rae Michelle Richards

Are you ready to roll out with the October 6th release of Platinum game’s Transformers: Devastation? Activision has announced the pre-order incentives for this brand new brawler based upon the classic series featuring warring factions of transforming robots.

By pre-ordering Devastation either at a physical retailer or digitally through Steam, Xbox Live Marketplace or PlayStation Networks fans will receive three character skins (Nemesis Prime, Red Alert and Goldfire) along with three unique weapons (Dark Star Saber, Photon Disruptor and the Golden Hunter).

Transfromers: Devastation takes inspiration from the series’ carton roots with a pretty neat looking cel-shaded look combined with all of the action we’d expect from a Saturday morning cartoon.  Featuring the original voice of Optimus Prime himself – Peter Cullen – Devastation sounds like a nostalgia trip for anyone who grew up in the mid-1980s.

Transformers: Devastation will be available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and PS3.
