Xbox One S review

Disclaimer: unlike certain prolific YouTubers and the like, this review is not based on a free review sample of the Xbox One S hardware. I preordered and purchased this console at launch myself, and this review is an honest assessment of whether I feel my hard-earned money was well spent.

After enjoying obscene levels of success with the Xbox 360 last generation, Microsoft hasn’t quite dominated the industry this time around.

The week in games: Jamie Lee Curtis, Five Nights At Freddy’s 4

Jamie Lee Curtis VegaJamie Lee Curtis surprised gamers by revealing she’d gone to the Evo 2015 fighting game tournament dressed up as Vega. It turns out she was there with the rest of her family as a graduation treat for her son, who’s a massive fighting game fan, but she had decided to wear the Vega costume for anonymity. Apparently, her son didn’t want anyone to find out his mum was in Christmas With The Kranks.

Microsoft E3 2015 conference: exclusive script leak

Xbox E3 2015 scriptOn Monday I busted open Sony’s E3 conference by leaking the entire script a week before it was due to be presented.

Sony isn’t the only company with lax security measures, though. I’ve also managed to obtain the full scripts for Microsoft’s E3 conference and Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event.

Today I’ll be chucking a middle finger in the face of Bill Gates (or whoever it is now) by revealing Microsoft’s E3 script in its entirety.

On Friday I’ll round things off with the entire shooting script for Nintendo’s E3 Digital Event.

I’m really too good to you. Enjoy. Continue reading “Microsoft E3 2015 conference: exclusive script leak”
