Xbox One S: The advantages and disadvantages of the Microsoft console

Xbox One S: The advantages and disadvantages of the Microsoft console
Published by: forahobby on Wednesday, October 10, 2018
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox Live, Xbox One,

In the video games industry, it seems that although the most recognized brands such as Nintendo and PlayStation steal the attention of the world’s gamers with their products, Xbox becomes a serious challenger with a console that offers several interesting services: we’re talking about Xbox One S.

Xbox One S: The advantages and disadvantages of the Microsoft console

The console of the North American company has a possibility to be the best one. Xbox One is an ideal move for those who only wish to install the platform and start playing, without thinking of any excessive expense to buy a title. After all, now is the era of the Internet and if we don't have enough money to buy, we have more options. Curious? Just click here!

To note, Xbox gives the possibility to access a wide catalog of several successes, such as exclusive releases of most popular games like see Halo 5, the Gears of War franchise, State of Decay, or other classics and even sports ones. To use them, the games are installed on the hard drive and they can’t be played through the cloud like other options.

The advantage of Xbox Game Pass is to be able to subscribe for $ 6,990 per month, although first we have the option of a free trial of 14 days, so we can decide whether we need to take membership or not. On the other hand, one of the advantages of the service is to be able to have from the day of release the new titles that come from franchises that Xbox handles. In this way, we can enjoy video games such as Forza Horizon 4, Crackdown 3, among others.

However, this platform is not the only platform capable of exploiting Xbox One S, because there are also other options to enjoy content through streaming with various applications such as Netflix or YouTube, or to play movies in 4K format, thanks to Blu-ray player enabling this technology.

The above is added value, because unlike competition, there is no console capable of displaying this type of content on discs with this format, except for services via an Internet connection.

Regarding low points, even though we have an extensive game catalog to take advantage of the devices, it's no less true that exclusive games present on Xbox aren't as much as what the competition provides, so if we search for products that point more to titles that can't be found in elsewhere, this console is not the best one, not considering that some games can also be achieved via PCs.

However, it is worth mentioning that the latter can be an advantage, because we have the Play Anywhere feature, which means that we can play launches and resume them from various platforms, either on the console or on the computer. As we can see, with Xbox One S we have advantages and disadvantages, but again, if we need a console that can cover many games, One S is the best.

It is important to note that the Xbox One S can upscale 1080p games to 4K - it isn't a real 4K console. The Xbox One X retains all the media sensibilities of the Xbox One S with an Ultra HD (4K) Blu-ray player, support for HDR content and Dolby Atmos.

Game Consoles and Dinosaur Games

Game Consoles and Dinosaur Games
Published by: forahobby on Sunday, October 07, 2018
Tagged: Gaming, Xbox 360, Xbox One,

Dinosaurs might have gone extinct millions of years ago, but we are still obsessed with them. The evidence lies in the numerous dinosaur movies and video games that have been produced in the last few decades.

Game Consoles and Dinosaur Games

If you are a gamer who loves dinosaurs, then we have the perfect list for you. Play these dinosaur games on your console to have the best time ever!

1. Dino Crisis

Dino Crisis

Considered to be one of the best big budget dinosaur games to have ever been created, Dino Crisis will keep you on the edge of your seat. It is reminiscent of the of the Resident Evil series but with the addition of dinosaurs. You will be surprised at how intimidating the T-Rex and velociraptors can be as you try to survive.

2. ARK: Survival Evolved

Ark Survival Evolved

ARK: Survival Evolved may not appeal to everyone, but that does not make it any less impressive. It will give you a lot of flexibility as a player. You will be able to roam about freely and take important gameplay decisions. Your task in the game is to create a life for yourself when you are stranded on an island, the catch being that your co-habitants are dinosaurs. As you perform necessary survival tasks, you have to either kill or tame the dinosaurs. The performance and technical backwardness of the game make it a little difficult to play, but the graphics are stunning.

New Clover Green Edition Xbox Duke Controller Hits the Shelves!

New Clover Green Edition Xbox Duke Controller Hits the Shelves!
Published by: forahobby on Friday, September 21, 2018
Tagged: Gaming, Hardware, Xbox One,

Hyperkin has announced that the Hyperkin Duke will come in translucent green aka “Clover” for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs - and it's available now!

Xbox Duke Controller - New Clover Green Edition Hits the Shelves!

Celebrating the one year anniversary of the Xbox in Europe - the Translucent Green Limited Edition Xbox console was first released in May 2003. Now Hyperkin's latest version of the popular Xbox Duke Controller is available in the same iconic cladding. Officially Licensed by Microsoft and Xbox One/Windows 10 compatible, the Hyperkin Duke controller in Green is a faithful recreation of the original - with added capability and a unique extra feature! It's time for a hands-on history lesson.

What sets the Hyperkin Duke apart from any other "retro" controller? When a player wants a nostalgia kick, all they need to do is press the Xbox button and the original Xbox animated startup screen will play right inside the button. This was no easy task for Hyperkin Product Developer, Chris Gallizzi, although the experience is one he’d never forget.

Features

  • Original animated Xbox startup screen played right inside the Xbox button
  • Bumpers that mirror the Black and White buttons
  • 9 ft. detachable USB cable (required to use controller)
  • 3.5 mm headset jack
  • Option and View buttons

The new Green Duke is reminiscent of the Translucent Green Limited Edition Xbox console which was first released back in May 2003. It will retail at the same price as the original black model at £69.99.


The Hyperkin Duke Controller in Green is available now from FunstockRetro.co.uk and Amazon!
