The Xbox One revealed

May 21, 2013 at 7:05 pm | 98 Comments

After eight years of current-generationing, Microsoft is finally ready to move on and look towards the future. With Nintendo having fired the first shot in the next-gen war with the Wii U, Sony hit back with the Playstation 4 earlier this year. And from the rear, comes the Xbox . We’ll be updating as news arrives, so stay awhile, and listen!

The Next Xbox: It’s nearly time

May 21, 2013 at 12:00 pm | 83 Comments

Today’s the big day. The big reveal. After months and months of rabid speculation and the feverish churning of the rumour mill, today we finally find out what’s inside Peter Molyneux’s cube! Incidentally, (and of much lesser import) today’s also the day that Microsoft reveals its next-generation Xbox. What are you expecting to see?

Xbox has a “ton of exclusives” in store for E3

May 20, 2013 at 7:45 am | 51 Comments

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the console generations of our lives. While Playstation won me over with the first and second generations of the modern console era, over the last eight years, I’ve unashamedly felt that Xbox had the best console this generation. Even though when it came to exclusive games, it had about as many of those as Star Trek had good sequels. Time to change all that then, as Microsoft has something up its sleeve for the upcoming future.

Has Microsoft stolen the next big game as an exclusive?

April 30, 2013 at 9:00 am | 51 Comments

And here we thought the software version of the console wars was slowing down with pretty much all the top titles starting to hit both consoles. Well if a rumour posted by Kotaku is correct then Microsoft may have just taken a giant leap towards the finish line with what is expected to be a huge title, or should I say exclusive title.

The next Xbox’s DRM is up to publishers

April 29, 2013 at 1:00 pm | 72 Comments

There’s been much said – mostly negative, vitriolic ramblings – about the next-generation console from Microsoft’s rumoured perpetual internet requirements. While it’s more than likely that the console will indeed require an internet connection, is that so very different from the Xbox 360 as it stands right now?

Next-Generation Xbox being unveiled May 21

April 24, 2013 at 7:00 pm | 132 Comments

Remember back when there was supposed to be a media event on April 24 (by Jove, that’s today!) to unveil the next generation Xbox, and then that super secret event was reportedly moved to May? Well, that rumour is now pretty much truth - because Microsoft will be unveiling the new Xbox on May 21.

You can now grab pizza from your Xbox 360

I’ve got to hand it to Microsoft, because they certainly do know how to ring every single last cent out of a product. The Xbox 360 already makes cash from Live subscriptions and advertisements, and now, it’s adding fast food to the coffers.

Rumour: Xbox to revive Heroes TV series?

April 18, 2013 at 3:00 pm | 17 Comments

Tim Kring’s X-men wannabe TV series Heroes started out with such promise. The first season hinted at something incredible, but the writer’s strike in the middle of season 2 just resulted in the whole thing becoming a convoluted mess. Heroes lasted for four seasons, which was three too many – but it might be coming back, exclusively to Xbox.

The Next-Box is going to watch your eyes…always

April 11, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 41 Comments

Fact of life: South African TV services are a bigger waste of cash than the Joburg highway robbery tolls. After all, doesn’t it just burn you up when you realise that your TV license fees are funding Top Billing? No, the more savvy gamer knows that digital services are far better. And it looks like the Next-Box is going to take advantage of that fact when it watches you while you sleep.

The next Xbox’s “always on” is optional

April 11, 2013 at 9:00 am | 35 Comments

According to numerous rumours, you’re going to need to be connected to the internet just to use the next generation Xbox from Microsoft. This would be stupid, and nobody should have to “deal with it.” New sources say that you won’t have to.

You think you tough enough to hang with the Lazygamer Massive, huh? Man, until you can get yourself some fly threads and past the Grandmaster stage in the original 1989 Strider game, you ain’t dope enough to with us! And it looks like you’ll be getting just such a chance soon, as Strider Hiryu might be on the remake rebound.

Win a trip to the Call of Duty Championship in Hollywood!

March 15, 2013 at 1:30 pm | 27 Comments

Call of Duty is arguably the world’s most popular shooter; the billions of dollars it generates in sales every year is testament to that. The series hasn’t really had much impact in the eSports scene, but that’s changing, with the recently announced Million Dollar Call of Duty tournament hosted by Activision and Xbox in Los Angeles this April. And one lucky South African Call of Duty fan will be going there, to see it all go down.
