The release of Halo 2 ushered in a golden era for online console multiplayer. It became the reason to not only buy the original Xbox but also THE reason to subscribe to Microsoft’s online multiplayer service, Xbox Live.

Ten years later, Microsoft is planning to rerelease Halo 2, along with the other numbered Halo titles, to the Xbox One. To celebrate, Microsoft is making a documentary detailing the phenomenon that was the Halo 2 launch, and all the hard work that has gone into remaking this title for the new console generation. Here’s the trailer.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming November, 2014 exclusively to the Xbox One.

Quantum Break Extended Gameplay Demo Video October 14, 2014

As I’ve said before, there is no Xbox One exclusive title I’m looking forward to more than Quantum Break. Developed by the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake, Quantum Break shows just what the dangers are when you meddle with time.

Fans itching to see as much of this game as they possibly can can let out a small cheer as I have something special for you. Xbox Japan has posted up what looks to be an extended version of the Gamescom 2014 demo which was likely captured at this year’s TGS.

While the level and setting are the same as the one from Gamescom, this video features an extended opening cutscene which has not been posted online. Not only do we get a few story tidbits and further understanding of the protagonist’s motivations, it shows off just how well the Xbox One can handle in-engine cutscenes. The narration and subtitles are in Japanese, but the in game dialog is all spoken in English.

Quantum Break is coming in 2015 exclusively for the Xbox One.

Pokémon Trainers unite, I’ve got a big announcement for all of you. Nintendo has just announced they are planning to release a special demo version of the upcoming 3rd Generation remakes, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby for the Nintendo 3DS! This is enormous news as Nintendo NEVER releases demos for major Pokèmon titles!

Just like with the Bravely Default demo, the new Pokémon demo will serve as a prequel to the final version of the games and you will be able to explore Hoenn early. Also like the Bravely Default demo, Nintendo has also that content obtained in the demo will carry over to the new titles, but have kept quiet about how this will happen.

So how can you get it? Just go to The Official Pokémon Website and sign up for the Pokémon Trainers newsletter before October 20th, 2014. You will need a Nintendo 3DS or 2DS to play the demo.

Nintendo has made it clear that they are not enforcing a play restriction on this demo and players will be able to play the demo as many times as they would like. In fact, Nintendo is encouraging trainers to play the demo as much as they want, as new content will be made available as they play.

Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are coming November 2014 to the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS.
