Xbox One Review

The Xbox One may not demand a purchase right away, but it shows a massive amount of potential. Once a few more games and applications have been released, this may not only be your new favorite video game console, but it could also be the new centerpiece of your entertainment system.

There’s few things more exciting to the gaming community than the launch of a new console generation. I always harken back to being a little kid and finding a Super Nintendo waiting for me under the Christmas tree. That little box opened up an entire new world of possibilities for me: new kingdoms to save, princesses to rescue and Super Bowls to win. I’m pushing 30 now, and not much has changed. When I opened up the box for the Xbox One, I found myself absolutely giddy thinking about the possibilities that were waiting for me.
