If nothing else – this is a damn nice looking controller!

Tues 21st May. Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One – successor to one of the most popular consoles of all time. As someone who buys consoles largely to play games, and has a media center PC (and current gen consoles) already rigged up to the living room TV – the event was a huge disappointment. E3 is just weeks away, so MS are obviously waiting to show games – but they had a captive audience here, and could have done anything to make the gaming press happy.

Another video editorial, this time on EA’s comment that they’ll include micro-payments in all games in the future. I also mention a couple of recent games and ramble about DLC and (what I consider to be) improper implementation of marketplace features.

There are hundreds of articles about what Sony showed, but I thought I’d go the other way and write about all the things they didn’t show.

1) The Console

This has upset people more than anything else, but really, what does it matter? By not showing it they’re guaranteed hundreds more crazy mockups by artists and 3d modellers, and the hype that goes along with that. I’d put money on the design being More >
