Xbox Addict

As we all suspected, the new x86 architecture-powered Xbox One will not play Xbox 360 games -- in any fashion whatsoever. But once again, there’s a bright side, as the Xbox 360 will still have a future alongside the Xbox One...

Is it the all-in-one box that we’ve always wanted (and feared)? Yes. Does it come with and require Kinect 2.0 to function? Yes again. Is it a hulking mass of a machine? Bingo! But on the bright side, tech behind the console and Kinect look BADASS!

Forget "Infinity", "Fusion" or all those silly names you heard before. The Next Xbox is simply Xbox One, and frankly, Microsoft couldn’t have picked a better name.

They say good things come to those who wait, so you’d better dig in, as there’s a good possibility that the Next Xbox will launch closer to Christmas that we thought.

Unfortunately, in contrast to an earlier report, Kevin Conroy will not be lending his signature, gravelly voice to Batman: Arkham Origins’ younger caped crusader, and Mark Hamill won’t be playing the Joker either. Read on to see who’s replacing them.

Injustice: Gods Among Us whetted our appetite to play as Deathstroke (a.k.a. The Terminator), and now it looks like we’ll be getting a double-dose of Slade love as we’ll also be able to play him in the upcoming Batman game via pre- order DLC.

It looks like once the cat is out of the bag on the Next Xbox, we’ll have a whole new way to get info about everything straight from the horse’s mouth, as "Xbox Wire" is now live.
