Emerald Catron — Wed, 22 May 2013 18:09:20 +0000

Microsoft unveiled their new gaming console yesterday, and people were not impressed. Actually, they were pretty complain-y and grumpy about it. They don't like the name (Xbox One). They don't like all the features. They don't like any of it. (Particularly how the Microsoft folks pretty much just talked about TV the whole time.) They genuinely dislike it so much that they took the time to make memes about it. These really capture the gist of the problems people have with Xbox One.

Danny Fox — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:32:00 +0000

The next entry in the Call of Duty series, Call of Duty Ghosts, is due out November 5. If you haven't made up your mind about buying it, we're not sure the new "Masked Warriors" teaser trailer will do much to convince you. Frankly, we think the trailer is pretty lame.
