E3 2013: Microsoft's 13 Exclusive Xbox One Games Revealed & Analysed

quantum break Microsoft has come under a lot of deserved scrutiny of late, implementing features so intrusive anti-consumer into the Xbox One that even the company€™s fanboys have stripped away their brand loyalty and vowed to move over to Sony or PC, not dissimilar to how one might rebound from a boyfriend/girlfriend onto someone who€™s the complete opposite of that person.

Besides from this (and the games we€™ll momentarily be getting to) Microsoft€™s E3 presentation informed us of the console€™s November release date, a much poorer version of PS Plus for the system that only allows two games a month to be downloaded rather than 14, the ability to play free-to-play game World of Tanks (though you have to pay for it due to the cost of Gold membership), and a new version of the Xbox 360 console that€™s available today. Oh, and the fact it€™s gonna cost $500/£320, which is also pretty big news. A lot of none exclusive games were shown, including Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, which Microsoft used as an opener to the conference, so potential buyers will be happy to know this €˜entertainment console€™ isn€™t going to revolve exclusively around television. They did, however, lower the previously promised number of exclusive games from 15 to 13, but hey, at least they€™ve got something. Click "next" below to begin...
