Where was this thinking earlier this year when Microsoft was shooting themselves in the foot while running on broken glass with their inability to market the Xbox One? They have righted the course since then and this commercial hits all the right notes for the system. Titanfall, Dead Rising 3, Ryse and Forza are represented well and you even have a Zachary Quinto appearance with an woman eerily reminiscent of Penelope Cruz.
Good job Microsoft.

Now is the time when we all start getting excited over the various bells and whistles associated with new consoles since can’t play them and just wait.
Look! It’s an official Xbox One cover!
Major Nelson released this picture of the Forza 5 cover so we could get a peek at what the cases will look like for the Xbox One. It’s plastic with a slip sleeve and a paper insert that shows what game you will be purchasing. It says Xbox One at the top with a green background.
So here is EA’s second part of their one-two punch to try (and fail) to take down Call of Duty. While Battlefield 3 got so much press last year it was almost hard to forget the game was coming out, Medal of Honor felt more like Sony was advertising for it. So nothing.
The franchise that puts out titles on a regular basis and is always better than Gran Turismo (without the 7-10 year waits between games) goes open world. Forza Horizon already had great racing DNA but add in producers that used to work at racing gods Codemasters and you have a beautiful racing sim that is garnering stellar reviews.
The Unfinished Swan (PSN) $14.99
One of the most unique looking games to come along in a long time, The Unfinished Swan has a boy entering a painting left to him by his dead mother and comes into a white world that unveils its secrets as you throw balls of black paint. Hard to describe but gorgeous to look at.
Sony continues to pump out the collections for their most famous franchises. Killzone 1 was a PS2 release and did not deliver on a lot of lofty promises but Killzone 2 more than made up for that with its stunning jump in graphics thanks to the Playstation 3 and great shooting mechanics. Killzone 3 was very good but didn’t feel as good story wise as 2. But still for $40 you are getting two good shooters and one very good one so not a bad deal.
Yeah so the only reason I am posting this is that Cabela’s has a unique tradition of releasing on the same date as Halo games which would seem like suicide and yet there continue to be Cabela’s games. But it seems that tradition is over. Here are the Mega64 guys with a little bit of the history.
