Part of the fun leading up to console unveiling is the speculation.

During Microsoft's reveal of the Xbox One, we finally got confirmation on many linger questions... More

On the eve of what’s coming next for Microsoft and the Xbox on Tuesday, May 21 , we reflect on one of 360’s experiments: the Kinect. It’s debatable whether it was a successful or not. Finding items for this list wasn’t easy once you got past the few greatest hits, but it currently... More

With Microsoft revealing its next system on Tuesday , the time is ripe to explore what Microsoft did right with the Xbox 360 and where it could have improved. Whether or not the new console carries on the legacies of its predecessor, it's fun to reminisce about these hits and misses as Microsoft... More

It’s easy to write off a video game based on a TV show as a company’s way to cash in on the property. While not all of the games in the list below do that, most of them do. That’s a shame. Multiple video games exist for the five shows below – but we think they can do better. A... More

Whenever a stupid peripheral or Kinect game comes in, I'm always a fan of joining up with my arch-nemesis Joe Juba and filming our experience with it. Top Hand Rodeo came in recently, and we decided to pop it in to see how we'd fare as motion control cowboys. Watch below to see Andrew Reiner... More

Ice is unpredictable. For as long as I can remember, any sport that used ice skating as its backbone has fascinated me. Every time a competitor steps on it, not only do they have to navigate the ice’s own obstacles, but they’re usually adding on stunts. Whether it’s landing a triple... More

Often, seemingly small decisions have a profound impact. This is true in life, and doubly true for companies that manufacture video game consoles. Since the beginning of this generation, tech experts and journalists have spent thousands of words breaking down the difference between the Xbox 360 and PlayStation... More

And I’m back. It’s been a few weeks since I first started writing about my experiences with Nike+ Kinect Training, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped using it. I’ve done my best to carve out time for workouts, even when I’d much rather be doing…just about... More

I've dabbled in exercise-based games since Your Shape Fitness hit the original Xbox (No, I don’t count the Nintendo Power Pad.) In my latest foray into the genre, I'm running (and squatting, and lunging) through one of Nike + Kinect’s four-week training programs. In the first installment... More

Join editors Andrew Reiner, Kyle Hilliard, and Ben Reeves through a tour of shame. We also invited GI intern O'Dell... More

You know what you are getting with Dragon Ball Z for Kinect. If you've ever wanted a reason to yell "Kamehameha" while fighting Frieza in the privacy of your own home then this game is for you. As the resident Dragon Ball Z "expert" in the Game Informer office, I took the release... More

Among the many highly anticipated releases of this week, came a game with a big name, but not a lot of excitement behind it. Fable: The Journey offers a players a chance to head back to Albion, but with a new control scheme, and a lot of horse riding. Join Andrew Reiner and Dan Ryckert as they dive into... More

Kinect Sesame Street TV isn't the first Xbox 360 game to feature Elmo and the gang. It's not even the first time they've all starred in a Kinect game. This is, however, the most faithful Sesame Street experience out there, as you can see in our Test Chamber. Chances are, your kids won't... More

Kinect has been around for two years, and it hasn't exactly delivered on Microsoft's promises of changing the way we play video games. We've used it to dance and entertain our children, but there hasn't been much to wow the hardcore crowd. Dan Ryckert and I first encountered Kinect Nat... More

I was watching a movie on my Xbox 360 the other night, when I had to go upstairs. The controller had long turned itself off. My hands were full of empties. Rather than drop everything onto the floor (my immediate instinct), I just said “Xbox, pause,” and the system obediently put the action... More

While wandering the show floor at E3 2012, you might hear a faint cry of "kamehameha" from the distance.

Throughout his career, designer Peter Molyneux has consistently been one of the most entertaining interviews in the industry. We had a chance to speak with him at the Microsoft Spring Showcase, mere days before he departed from Lionhead and Microsoft to join the new studio 22 Cans. What was your first... More

One year ago today, Microsoft introduced an add-on to the Xbox 360 that the company believed would change the way we game forever. Building on the motion gaming trend started by Nintendo’s Wii, the Kinect got rid of the controller altogether, allowing players to use their whole body while playing... More

During E3 this year, Microsoft put great emphasis on support for its hit motion tracking sensor, Kinect. The company announced new sensor exclusive titles as well as a suite of games made "Better With Kinect." Check out our impressions on the Kinect titles that were available on the show floor... More

With a strong emphasis on Kinect and the announcement of Halo 4, Microsoft set the scene for what the next couple of years have in store for the Xbox 360.
