Anyone playing dragon age inquisition on 360, how the hell you spend your ability points?

Damn, looks like 2K ain't getting no money from me this year. I passed on NBA 2K, too.

The proper term for it that I have learned is WWE 2K16 beta.

Try Out Destiny for Free Starting Today

<section> Limited-time trial or demo available now.

If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on Destiny, there’s no better time than now. Starting today, November 18, anyone can try out Destiny for free as part of a limited-time demo or trial for their current or last-gen console. As part of the promotion, players can create and evolve a Guardian of their own and participate in story missions, as well as co-operative and social activities. Best of all, anyone who purchases the complete version of Destiny after participating in the demo or trial will be able to pick up right from where they left off with their Guardian and progression completely intact, provided they remain within the same console family.

For those on current-gen platforms, the Destiny trial can instantaneously upgraded to the full game via their console’s digital storefront — no further download required. Those playing on last-gen consoles, however, will need to purchase a copy of Destiny digitally or through retail, independent of the demo.

To download and access the Destiny trial or demo, check out the digital storefront of your console of choice. For more information, including disk space requirements and supported consoles, check out the FAQ on Bungie.net.

This chart will help you find the best Black Friday console deals
​

​

It's that time of the year again: time to pick up a gaming console on the cheap, often with a bunch of goodies thrown in for good measure. Or, you know, to buy one as a gift for someone or whatever.

This year we're trying something new: We're pulling out all of the Black Friday console bundles and discounts we can find and putting them into one handy chart to make it easier for you to shop and compare.

We'll be updating the chart throughout the month with the deals we find, so bookmark this page. You can find all of the nitty gritty on these deals, along with all of the discounts on games and peripherals, on our deals hub.

`Grand Theft Auto’ Hits Next Gen Platforms

Take-Two Interactive Chairman and CEO Strauss Zelnick discusses the release of “Grand Theft Auto 5” for next gen platforms. He speaks on "Market Makers.”

Microsoft Gave GTA 5 Boss A Demo Of Its Mysterious VR Tech

​

Microsoft is now letting people outside the company try out its long-in-development "enhanced reality" technology. Grand Theft Auto parent publisher Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said today on Bloomberg TV that he was invited to Microsoft's headquarters to try it out. It is unclear, however, if Zelnick got to see the RoomAlive demo or Microsoft's other secret VR project.

Whatever the case, Zelnick said he was excited with what he saw.

"The demo that I had was at Microsoft's headquarters in a room given over to this [technology], and you had an immersive headset on, and there are characters that appear to be real, and you'e interacting with the characters and they're not real, and it's pretty extraordinary," he said.

Though he was floored by the demo, Zelnick said he's not sure yet about its commercial appeal.

Microsoft has been planning Xbox One virtual reality/augmented reality technology (pictured above) since 2010, according to documents that emerged two years ago. According to the documents, users would wear glasses that would run on wireless connections to interact with the Xbox One.

For its part, Microsoft has been open in saying that virtual reality is something the company has been experimenting with for a long time now. Competitor Sony announced its own virtual reality device, Project Morpheus, during GDC in March 2014.

A Take-Two representative told GameSpot that "this was something [Zelnick] saw several years ago." We have also reached out to Microsoft for further clarification.

"If that's what consumers want, we'll be first in line to give it to them" -- Strauss Zelnick on VR
​

On the subject of VR in general, Zelnick reiterated that, while he's excited about the potential of such technology, it must overcome technical and logistical hurdles before it becomes ubiquitous.

"There are plenty of issues for using an immersive headset for the kind of video games that we make," he said. "Because, among other things, how are you going to see your controller? How does this controller interact with this immersive space?"

He also said he recently got a demo of Project Morpheus and enjoyed it a lot.

Asked straight-up if gaming was ready for VR, Zelnick said "not yet." However, he stressed that if VR does become dominant, Take-Two will line up to support it with games.

"Part of it is we have to see how the headsets roll out and how we can best deliver an experience. We are concerned that you play our games for a long period of time and we don't want people getting nauseated. Having had the experience, I'm not sure how long you want an immersive headset on your head. We'll find out. I will say this, if that's what consumers want, we'll be first in line to give it to them."

Zelnick also responded to a host's suggestion that VR could make people anti-social, something Zelnick himself cited previously as one of the potential problems for VR. Now, Zelnick says as culture expands, companies like Take-Two need to embrace change or they run the risk of getting left behind.


He said his great grandparents had similar qualms about jazz music, his grandparents about rock and roll, and his parents about hip hop. "Culture morphs and we all have to embrace the exciting new opportunities in culture," he said.

HBO GO Available Now on Xbox One





HBO Go Launches on Xbox One

HBO Go, the app that offers the pay cabler’s shows, has launched on the Xbox One videogame console.

The app, which already had been available on the Xbox 360, will also support the Xbox Kinect’s voice and gesture controls.

“Xbox is one of our subscribers’ favorite ways to access HBO Go and its incredible breadth of award-winning programming,” said Jeff Dallesandro, VP, digital domestic network distribution, HBO. “Now, Xbox One users can get in on the action and Kinect with the very best HBO series and films on this innovative, state-of-the-art device.”

HBO Go joins Crunchyroll, Movieplex Play, and Encore Play that launched on Xbox One on Wednesday. Other apps include the WWE Network, GoPro, and the NFL.
Users must prove they’re a subscriber to HBO in order to use HBO Go, although the network said it plans to launch a standalone service in the U.S. next year.

Xbox announced HBO Go’s launch on its next-generation console on its Xbox Wire blog early Thursday morning. Altogether, the Xbox 360 and Xbox One support over 170 entertainment apps.

In June, Xbox began offering the Xbox One console without the Kinect, and gave Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners access to entertainment apps like Netflix and HBO Go whether or not they had an Xbox Live Gold membership —- a significant move to promote use of the console as more of an entertainment hub.

Dear Ori Fans,


While we’re extremely excited for all of you to get your hands on Ori and the Blind Forest as soon as possible, we made the decision together with our partners at Microsoft Studios that we’ll need just a little more time in order to add a final layer of polish to – what we hope – will be an unforgettable gaming experience.


So far, we’ve given you small glimpses of Ori at E3, Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show and we’re looking forward to inviting you on this journey when we’ll be releasing Ori and the Blind Forest Early 2015 exclusively for Xbox One and PC.
Moon Studios wants to thank all the Ori and the Blind Forest fans out there for their continued encouragement and their amazing support.
Many thanks,
Moon Studios

• We are unlocking the standard edition of Sunset Overdrive. You will still see a purchase price for the Day One Edition and Deluxe edition.
• The game is showing up for free in the Gold Lounge, so that’s probably the fastest to find it.
  On the Xbox One Home Screen, clicking in the lower right slot that promotes Gold discounts will show the free Sunset offer.
