There's more to the Xbox One than meets the eye. Sure, Microsoft's E3 2013 press conference revealed a price that was higher than the PS4, and then Sony's media briefing brought down the house by making fun of its rival's insistence on daily check-ins and...

The wait is over: next-gen gaming has arrived. Microsoft's brand new Xbox One has touched down, bringing with it an updated Kinect sensor, a refined controller and new entertainment-centric offerings, all in a box that's even bigger than the original X...

The Xbox One is a media powerhouse, starting off with the new and improved Kinect and HDMI-in features. The new Kinect is a significant improvement over the previous iteration, boasting superior smarts like the fact it’s always listening, it can respond to even more voice commands, and can detect your heart rate. It can even identify different people, signing them into their own Xbox Live account...
It's big. There's no question that Microsoft's latest box is a behemoth, being larger than both its predecessor and its rival, the PlayStation 4. But that's for a reason. Microsoft has made sure there's adequate cooling inside, so there won't be any repeats of the Xbox 360's infamous Red Ring of Death. Still, you can’t help but wonder if it could be it a bit slimmer. It also comes with an externa...

Not everyone will love the design of the PS4 , but at least it looks like it has been designed, rather than simply shoved into the case of a VCR from the ‘90s. Exaggeration? Ok, but the One is a big angular box of a machine that no one's going to apprecia...

The original Xbox One had a pretty rocky start to life.It launched with a compulsory accessory (the Kinect), that received a lukewarm reception, and its set-top box capabilities that weren't important for gamers.Microsoft has remedied many of these proble...

Far better than it once was, and destined to keep improving, Xbox One is a truly modern piece of kit. It suffers for its catch-all approach a little, but you won't see some of its tricks on any competitor's machine...

The Xbox One S has been on store shelves for around half a year now, and its brought with it support for HDR and Ultra HD Blu-rays.Given that the new sleeker model has arrived, the number of reasons for opting for the older fatter model are disappearing f...

It might look big and bulky next to its slimmer version, the Xbox One S, but these days the older Xbox One can be found for some temptingly low prices. If you're willing to sacrifice the 4K functionality of the Xbox One S, then the Xbox One is still a gre...

If you want to wait for a fuller upgrade over the Xbox One, you’ll have to wait until the tail end of the year. That’s when Microsoft has said it will launch the Xbox Project Scorpio; its 4K, VR-enabled machine. You can read more about what’s been announc...

The Xbox One has had a strange, but ultimately strong, two and a half years of life. It's miles away from where it started back when it first launched on November 22 2013, though, in many cases, not quite as far as the Xbox 360 was at the end of its lifes...

Even though Sony has the market cornered on the whole "for gamers, by gamers" phrase, Microsoft makes a pretty compelling case for the title. With more platform-exclusive games, an eye on the indie scene and its promotional Games with Gold deal, the Xbox...
We don't don't know about you, but we're not in love with the idea of monolithic system taking up a quarter of our media cabinet. The Xbox One is big, bulky a looks like it was designed to replace the VCR, not the Xbox 360. The controllers, thankfully, ar...
Xbox One is finally picking up steam. It's moved to sell at $350 and there are a plethora of great, platform-exclusive games ready to pick up right now, not down the road in 2015. It's the best place for media enthusiasts with DLNA support, removed Xbox L...

As Microsoft has expanded its Xbox One hardware line with the Xbox One S and upcoming Project Scorpio consoles, it makes sense that we see a similar expansion of its first-party peripherals. The Xbox One Elite Controller arrived in late 2015, offering a h...

If money is no object, we still recommend the Xbox One Elite controller, which offers the same upgrades as the Recon Tech gamepad, plus many others. If that's too much money, though, it is absolutely worth it to spend an extra $10 for the Recon Tech...

The Nintendo Switch is finally available to buy in the UK, but it's coming out into a games market with stiff competition from the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Things could get even more complex later this year when the Xbox One Scorpio comes out, so what...

The Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch are both very different devices in many respects, so they're hard to easily compare. The Xbox is slightly cheaper, and offers most of the standard big budget videogames on some pretty powerful hardware, while the Switc...

Sony's PlayStation 4 is out now, and is currently the most powerful games console on the market by some way. It won't hold that crown forever though, as Microsoft's souped up Xbox One Scorpio is set to arrive at some point in 2017. Some gamers might alrea...

Right now then, picking up the PS4 Pro looks like a pretty safe bet. It will most likely be cheaper than Microsoft's alternative, especially if you're hoping to take up VR as well. It may lag slightly in performance and power, but probably not enough for...
