The Xbox Wireless Controller – A Hands On

Naturally, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X have taken the gaming world by storm. Launching late in 2020, they both have an absolute plethora of similarities. From SSDs to subscription services... the competing consoles have never been more aligned. One thing however that definitely sets them apart is their controllers. These aren't going to be articles about which has the better analogue stick placement. This is purely my thoughts on what the 2 devices bring to the table, and where I would like to see improvements if they ever choose to refine these models. I will say from the get-go though that with the DualSense and the revised Xbox Wireless Controller these are the best iterations both companies have ever delivered in the box of a console. I have to add that slight disclaimer...

Halo Infinite was revealed during E3 2018 and has had a bit of a rocky start, with the game being delayed for a year due to the backlash of the gaming community and how the game was looking. Here are some of the newly revealed screenshots From those screenshots, the game does look like it's improved from earlier screenshots.

DEATHLOOP: Explained Video – Break The Time Loop!

DEATHLOOP is basically Groundhog Day or Edge of Tomorrow... But in a video game. In DEATHLOOP you are an assassin trapped in a time loop. In the below video, Game Director Dinga Bakaba of Arkane Lyon (Dishonored, Prey - 2017) tells us more about the incoming game. DEATHLOOP's gameplay sees you hunting down 8 targets known as the visionaries. Each time you restart the loop you need to remember what happened in the previous to help you progress each day.
