First Xbox 360 Game on my Xbox One = Perfect Dark Now for an N64 game released in 2000. I very much remember the requirement of the "Expansion Pack". All these years and the game looks stunning, and runs super smooth thanks to the Xbox 360 enhancements. Feels even better with the Xbox One controller. Now to test more Xbox 360 Retro titles.

E3 2015 is nearly upon us. What are you excited to learn about the most? Seems like this will finally be the year of Virtual Reality. With HoloLens, Oculus Rift, Project Morpheus and others devices being introduced. It's a great time for developers to offer a new way to experience their games. Can't wait to see what everyone has planned? Alan Wake, Resident Evil, Far Cry, Halo, Gears of War, would all be amazing in VR.

Games with Gold - MAFIA II There's still time to download this free game for your Xbox 360. Look like fun for the whole family. As you make new friends and race cars, eat food and enjoy your time in the city.... Maybe not. "Mafia II is a beautifully crafted look into the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia. Hi-octane gunplay, brutal fighting and white-knuckle driving bust onto the screen as a Hollywood-style cinematic experience. It is the intriguing story of Vito Scaletta, who along with his childhood friend, Joe, will descend into the world of organized crime. Together, they will work to prove themselves to the Mafia as they try to make their names on the streets. Starting with low-level jobs like robbery and stealing cars, Vito and Joe escalate quickly up the Mafia family ladder…but the life as a wise guy isn’t quite as glamorous as it seems."
