Today was announced the new XBOX (XBOX One). It is an all-in-one entertainment center, allowing for unique new experiences. I am going to update this post with pictures and videos as I get them. NOTE: Not required to be online!

Just in time for the big XBOX Reveal, I decided to start posting again! MidnightScott has requested I cover the XBOX Reveal today, so I decided “what the heck, might as well.” I will do my best to keep you updated on everything happening in the world of Microsoft. Happy gaming!

Today, Microsoft will reveal their next generation Xbox system codenamed “Durango” due for release this fall. What new features will we see? I will try and update throughout the day about this system. I skipped the 360 so maybe the nextbox will have something I’m looking for this time.

Awesome, I hope the surprise demo for Project X Zone hits North America this week as well, can’t wait!

Over on twitter, some of the developers from Sumo Digital seem to be talking about how they will follow up Sonic Racing Transformed. Take a look below:?

I honestly think it would be wonderful if Sonic were to appear in Mario Kart. But I think Mario Kart should go the way of Smash Brothers and let other characters be in it. Mario Kart is starting to get a bit stale in my opinion, even if Mario Kart 7 is a really great game. I seriously can’t wait for E3, some megatons are coming our way for sure.
