Abstract: A new console has been released. No, you haven't been caught in some sort of time loop, and 5 more years did not pass by. The new Xbox One X is indeed launching today, and last year's launch of the PS4 Pro was not a glitch in the Matrix. Sony and Microsof...
Abstract: Ever since the days of the original Nintendo Entertainment System, the world of game consoles has operated on a pretty steady rhythm. Every four to six years, a new console hits the market, and it does backflips over the previous generation. Developers fi...

Abstract: I will admit that I was excited about the Xbox One when it launched back in 2014. Sure, the PS4 was a bit more powerful and had better games, but the Kinect and media integration was right up my alley. I loved being able to walk into a room and start the...

Ultimately, the Xbox One X is what Microsoft claims it is: the most powerful console in the world. It's not going to replace your average gaming PC, but it doesn't have to. For many console gamers, the Xbox One X is the only system capable of delivering t...
