It is finally official! Microsoft's next generation is here with a bang!The Xbox One was announced on Tuesday, May 20th. It boasts awesome hardware and promises to deliver the most "connected" experience.
It has been completely redesigned, and so has the the controller. Kinect and Smartglass are a big part of Xbox One too. Xbox One will recognize you the moment you sit in front of your TV and will also load your own Save Games automatically! You can also give Voice commands to it using Kinect and the gestures have also been improved due to the new and enhanced Kinect!


It now has a 1080p camera and much faster processing of input with a dedicated processing unit for Kinect. So now you can pinch to zoom, etc. The controller looks tougher and has been given a slight redesign. The box itself is very reminiscent of the original Xbox. 15 exclusives have been promised out of which 8 are completely new IPs. Some of them were shown of at the press conference.
Games including Forza Motorsport 5 and Call of Duty Ghosts were shown off. But the conference was mainly based on the Live TV streaming features of this new Xbox and also the new Halo TV series being created in partnership with Steven Spielberg! For more exciting news, keep it locked on Great Games(Sorry  IGN hehe!).

You should also note that this game takes up about 1.7 GB of your space so it will take lots of time to download too. Considering all the mentioned factors, I would give it a:

8/10
