Rare dropping ‘Rare Replay’ for XB1. Thirty futzing classics for $30
Remember Rare? The Battletoads, Goldeneye 007, Killer Instinct, RC Pro-AM company? Well, I’m not shitting you. They still exist. Not only do they still exist, but they’re bundling up a goddamn collection of their classics, and dropping them on the Xbox One. It’s a great deal if you’re looking to play some classics and you are too silly to rock an emulator.

Xbox One will be backwards compatible with the 360. Your move, Sony.
I don’t know if I’m alone, but I value backwards compatibility a lot. So this is fucking rad news for me.
‘Halo 5’ hitting Xbox One on October 27. This is a (master) chief opportunity for Microsoft
GET IT? Master chief opportunity? Cause it looks like fucking Halo 5 is the only AAA, console-exclusive title actually making its 2015 release date! SHIT PUNS.
EA rolling out Xbox One subscription. $5 a month for their “best” games.
How badly do you want to suckle upon the teat of Electronic Arts and their “best” games? Because for $5 a month, or $30 a year, you’re going to be able to have access to them through an upcoming subscription service. Would you? For me — it would depend on how soon you get new releases? Like, I don’t need to pay for your backlog, EA. Anything you’re publishing that’s worth playing I’m going to buy day one.
E3 2014: ‘SCALEBOUND’ Reveal Trailer: DEVIL MAY DRAGON HUNT
OH SHIT! Platinum Games with an XB1 exclusive? That’s the sort of thing that gets my jaded, XB1-neglecting ass to pay attention. It’s totally Devil May Cry Over Dragons or some shit, but whatever. Platinum Games don’t usually let me down. And any exclusive I can get quasi-pumped for is enough. Is that…is that sad? The level my expectations have been lowered to by E3?
Microsoft confirms XBOX ONE is 10% faster without KINECT.
When Microsoft announced they were cutting the mandatory cord on Kinect, Smarter People Than Me speculated that doing so could free up some processing power. Well, Egg Heads be damned. They were right. To the tune of a 10% performance boost. Yay! Yay? This is all rad and Hell, but if both parties in the NEXT-GEN (or is it now current gen?) DANCE OFF could release games specific to this new generation, that would be far more exciting than this.
KINECT-FREE Xbox One coming in June. THE ROLLBACK CONTINUES.
YEAH, MICROSOFT! Roll that shit back! Is there anything left for Microsoft to double-back on at this point? Policy-wise? I don’t think so, and I think that’s fucking fantastic. I also don’t give a damn about the reasons (I imagine it’s monetary duh or something) behind their policies shift. Giving us what we want? Cool.
