When I first laid eyes on Game Dev Tycoon, I thought it was nothing more than a cheap knock-off of Kairosoft’s Game Dev Story on iOS. While Game Dev Tycoon may not be an exact rip-off of Kairosoft’s offering, it isn’t exactly new faire and will have difficulty breaking ground with non-gamers, but will be an addictive casual sim for gamers that want to try their hand at game development with the few clicks of a mouse.

The Xbox One seems to have polarized gamers around the world. There seems to be a strong voice that loves the changes and potential it represents. The other group appears to be up in arms over the potential erasure of used games and a console that requires an internet connection.

I fall somewhere in the middle. I’m not being indecisive; far from it. Actually, I saw a lot to love and a bit to loath all within the span about about an hour because of a single box: the Xbox One.

A recent study from the University of Connecticut has shown that gamers are more likely to experience aggressive thoughts and words against human-looking characters instead of monster or nonhuman characters.

Whoa, chill out for a bit, then look for more info after the break.

The recent positive hype over Microsoft’s Xbox One has met its first downer with the announcement that the Xbox One is not backwards compatible. This means that owners of previous games from Xbox Live will not be able to transfer them over to the new console. 

If you thought that Microsoft’s press conference for the Xbox One was light on games, you’re not alone. Gamers still have to wait until E3 in a couple weeks to soak in some Xbox One games with apparently Microsoft having 15 exclusive games in development, 8 of which are new franchises.

However, that hasn’t stopped several already announced games from letting gamers know that they’ll be on Microsoft’s next-gen console.

A complete list of games is after the break and will be updated throughout the day.

Well it’s not exactly surprising, Microsoft’s next-gen offering, the Xbox One, will be released before the end of the year.

There were no pricing details or exact dates set, but gamers should be in for one helluva holiday season with the PS4 and Xbox One this winter.

It seems that Microsoft is going for broke on Xbox One entertainment. Steven Spielberg appeared in a video at the Xbox One reveal to announce that he would be involved in bringing the Halo universe to television. 343 Industries will also be heavily involved. No further details are known currently.
