Microsoft announced at Gamescom last week that they would be rolling out backwards compatibility to all Xbox One owners in November. Right now, the feature is exclusive to Xbox One preview program users. I have been using it for some time now, and for the most part, it works. If you purchased Rare Replay, you will get an idea of how the system will work for Xbox 360 titles.

Although I love all the Kings Quest games, I jumped on the bandwagon late, with Kings Quest V to be precise. Five was outstanding, VI was outstanding, VII was good, but not great, and VIII was a disaster. With that being the last title in the series - and the first without the original development team - it was a pipe dream that we would get another good title.

When the Banjo games landed on the Nintendo 64, no one thought they could compete with the other successful platforming titles on the system. Even near the end of its life cycle, people continued to debate which was better: Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, or either of the Banjo games.

Performance Design Products is an industry leader in the video game accessories department, and if their E3 was any indication, they are not slowing down. There products line the shelves of retailers around the country, and cover everything from Wii U to Xbox One and 360 to PS3 and PS4.

The dollar per game price tag is not something you ever see on Xbox One or PS4. In fact, you rarely see that price tag on any gaming system. Paying a dollar for a game is mobile stuff! Or at least it was, until Rare and Microsoft launched Rare Replay last week. 30 Games, 30 Dollars.

Outside of Splatoon updates, Nintendo has done very little these past few months. Most people would come to the conclusion that their E3 press conference left a lot to be desired, and very little in way of new titles this summer has made few people forget that. Nintendo has had a disappointing Summer 2015, but this could mean bigger and better things this fall.

Nintendo has been doing an excellent job providing updates for their most popular games. Outside of a few pricey additions to Super Smash Bros, they have done a better job than Sony or Microsoft in providing new game play for their fans at fair prices. Like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros, Nintendo has been updating Splatoon with lots of new content.

Microsoft continues to have a strong GamesCom showing with a few new game announcements and trailers. Today, Microsoft announced and showed trailers for Quantum Break, Crackdown 3, Scalebound, Killer Instinct Season 3, and Halo Wars 2.

Microsoft announced a number of new peripherals and features that will be coming to Xbox One within the next year. These announcements were made during their press conference at GamesCom.

Legend of Kay originally came out in 2005, and was reviewed fairly well considering it was a platformer title exclusive to the platform heavy Playstation 2. I never owned a PS2 until well after the launch of the PS3, but even then, I had never played Legend of Kay.
