The original,Combat Evolved, was ported to PC in 2003;Halo 2helped launch Games for Windows Live in 2007. Besides those two, Microsoft has kept mainlineHaloconfined strictly to its consoles. In recent years, Microsoft has made a significant effort to blur the lines between Xbox and PC gaming. With the promise that all future first-party titles arePlay Anywhere(meaning that they’re bought once and players can freely switch between PC and Xbox One versions), we have implicit confirmation thatHalo 6will launch on Windows 10 PC....

I didn’t need food this month anyway Microsoft hasn’t been having the best year for exclusives or incentives to keep people on Xbox One. With Sony already having its “4K” solution in stores, Microsoft is going to have to impress with Project Scorpio at E3 today. According to Geoff Keighley on Twitter, it looks like the price point might be putting some people off of a potential purchase. I can now say with confidence Project Scorpio is $499....

It’s impressive when someone manages to create a beloved game experience on their own; or at the very least with a small team. Such was the case withStardew Valley, and its developer Eric Barone, also known by the pseudonym “ConcernedApe.” What’s even more impressive than that, though, is how that experience was converted into a highly coveted board game. WhileStardew Valley: The Board Gamewas available for a limited run, it’s coming back very soon....

Well, to some it’s a problem Destiny‘s economy is in constant flux, and Bungie never seems to know what to do about it. This patch everyone seemed to be fine with the changes inThe Taken King, but after a few weeks, some issues started creeping up. For one, players noticed that they had hundreds of armor parts for upgrading and enhancing those particular items, but not enough weapon parts, which are arguably more important as you’re constantly cycling out your arsenal....

As the sort of person who plays a lot of drek using Kinect, I’m eagerly anticipating the opportunity to get my body all up in a walking battle tank inSteel Battalion: Heavy Armor. Much to my dismay, a whole lot of other people are going to get that opportunity before I do, as Capcom has vowed to bring their heavy mech shooter with the full-bodied flavor to PAX East this coming weekend....

I’ve long wanted to try the game out for curiosity’s sake and although I never expectedtoomuch from it given the free-to-play premise, a localization would’ve be nice. But we can’t have nice things, it seems. The Greenlight page is now long gone. A Capcom representative confirmed the removal in a statement provided toPolygon:...
