Last month, Xbox Canada was nice enough to send over a code so we could try out the Xbox Design Lab process. We've already detailed the design phase of product which you can read here, but now it's time to look at the actual product, compare it to the design, and determine how worthwhile this expensive adventure really is! Let's dive in and see how well Microsoft was able to construct the controller I designed!

Thanks to Xbox Canada, we got the chance to experiment with the Xbox Design Lab online software to create our own controller for the Xbox One (which we will review when it arrives). After receiving our credit for the review, I figured getting a controller designed would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately, a few hours later, I realized how wrong I was. Using the Xbox Design Lab software is both exciting and frustrating, not because of how the software works, but because of the number of options Microsoft offers to you!

When the Xbox One X gets launched later this year, there are two games I'm really looking forward to playing on the system for one very specific reason: the settings. The Xbox One X promises to produce some of the best looking graphics available on modern consoles, and companies have already been harnessing this power to create games that will look the best on Xbox One X. But why these two titles? Well, for myself, it's a personal decision based on settings.

It’s been a long while since we had anything to get our grubby hands on when it came to Crackdown 3. Its very anticipated, especially as rumours have indicated it would be a return to what made the original Crackdown so great. Today, Microsoft delivered on their promise of having Crackdown at the show, with an extended game play trailer! From the few minutes we were treated too, I can safely say that Crackdown 3 really does look a lot…

Microsoft has broken the console barrier by bringing Minecraft multiplayer gaming to everyone, no matter the platform. That’s right, if you are on Xbox One and your friend is on Nintendo Switch, you can play together. This is actually really big for the gaming community, as this type of console interaction has always been desired, but rarely given. Because of different interests, consoles rarely interact with each other. Yes, there is a healthy respect for each other, but Xbox is…

E3 officially started today with Xbox! I have been very skeptical of Xbox for awhile now. I hoped that I would like today’s presentation, but I didn’t think I would. So my reaction to today’s event surprised me. What did I think of Xbox’s E3 2017 conference? Read on to find out! The Xbox E3 2017 press conference started a bit rough. Xbox One X? What? Such a lazy and confusing name. And then they went on and on and…

A new trailer for Cars 3: Driven to Win was released today. We have the trailer, some additional information on the game, and my opinion on the new trailer. Cars 3: Driven to Win is coming out on June 13 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch and Wii U. According to a PR e-mail we received the game will feature six game modes: ”     Race: Players can hop onto the tracks and race against Lightning…

I use to get into “fights” on twitter a lot. I would say something (or I’d say something to somebody else), somebody would disagree with me, and we’d go back and forth until we both got fed up and unfollowed and/or blocked each other. The problem with fights on the internet, especially places like Twitter, is that nobody wins. EVER. If somebody has their mind made up, you are not likely to change it. So why do we feel the…

After getting all his chores complete and his homework finished, the highlight of my sons evening last night was busting open The Goonies level pack for LEGO Dimensions and putting together the wicked looking minibuilds that come included. While my overall knowledge of The Goonies is fairly minimal, you cannot help but appreciate how much detail goes in to One Eyed Willy's Pirate Ship and the Skeleton Organ. Watch the unboxing and build video below, and then read our thoughts on the LEGO portion of this LEGO Dimensions Level Pack!

After all these years, people are still wondering if Gordon Freemen will ever return. First introduced in Half-Life, Gordon was sent into an underground complex with nothing but a crowbar and his wits. Then came Half-Life 2, where Gordon had to survive City 17 with a crowbar and his wits. Oh sure you could get other weapons in both games, but come on, the crowbar was your most important tool. Short episodes, 1 and 2, were released to expand on…
