Originally released in July of 2010, the three year...

EA and DICE today released a video detailing the new features coming with Battlefield 4 in the new Frostbite 3 engine. Among the new details are the “seamless reality” which will have our trees swaying in time with the “real” wind, which will also be controlling the water and the clouds.

It was September of 2011, a mere few weeks after I had begun to work here with LevelSave. My social life was near non-existant, and outside of reviewing War Worlds on the Xbox Live Arcade, my only plans for that month were to make it to the Gears of War 3 Midnight Launch to pick up my Epic Edition, Gears 3 Console, and Retro Lancer Replica. Monday, September 19th I planned to arrive at GameStop around 8PM and sit for four hours waiting for my most anticipated title of the...

I’ve broken down the pros and cons of each option below. So, now that you see the pros and cons of each option, what will you be doing with your Xbox...
This is killing me right now. Microsoft has just announced it was making a massive 180 concerning it’s Xbox One DRM policies, obviously due to the loud minority of internet users complaining along with hard pressure from Sony. Along with that 180 comes a removal of a small percentage of Xbox One features, those features, though, were some of the most revolutionary.
