Microsoft invites more people to test very rough Xbox features

Neo Geo retro stick console includes ‘King of Fighters,’ ‘Samurai Shodown’

[ad_1] There aren’t, however, any non-fighters in the mix. You won’t be playing Metal Slug, Puzzle Bobble or other Neo Geo hits that fall outside of the Arcade Stick Pro’s narrow scope.

Other factors are […]

‘Gears 5’ will add new modes and maps in its first six months

[ad_1] The winter season, like others, will kick off with a “major” update that can include new competitive multiplayer modes, maps, features, characters, Escape Hives and Map Builder tiles.

Even ‘Civilization VI’ is getting a battle royale mode

[ad_1] Everyone starts with one civilian, one infantry unit and one machine gun unit, and you grow your faction mainly to crush others. You won’t be creating any wonders of the world here.
