Sub-5.0 Scores for Mario Tennis Unwarranted
I've been playing Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for a good while now, and frankly, it is not the greatest game. However, I have been reading reviews of others, and while I agree with almost 100% of what they are saying, I'm shocked by the scores I've been seeing.

Why that was done the day before release is beyond me, but it happened.

Fallout 4 Review in Progres: My First Few Hours
The first few hours of Fallout 4 have exhilarated me, frustrated me, and made me go, "What?" That is what you are in for if you decide you want to play Fallout 4. Although our review isn't live yet - and won't be for a while! - I can safely say that if open world RPG's are your thing, you probably don't want to pass up on this, even if you've never played a Fallout game in the past. Consider this the beginning of our Review-in-Progress.

The New Xbox Experience (NXE) launched today for all regions, and it is very good looking. At 3:01 AM Eastern, those who have automatic updates enabled began downloading the NXE.
