Preorders have opened at Target for the Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector MEGA Building Set.
The Xbox 360 Mega Building Kit is 1342 pieces that assemble into a 3:4 scale model of the launch model of Microsoft’s 2005 console. I was there when the Xbox 360 launched. It was a pretty exciting time when it came about. Then, the hardware issues started happening. This was commonly known as the “Red Ring of...

The best menu screens in games can be articulated in many ways, just like the sheer amount of options you can get from the feature itself.

Games and consoles have lasted for around five decades, and you know what has been with them all this time? Gaming accessories. Many of these devices, like motion controllers and link cables, opened up new gaming opportunities that weren't available before.

Microsoft has chosen to remind us of the ephemeral nature of digital games by announcing that they’ll be delisting 46 games from the Xbox 360 Marketplace on February 7th.
Thankfully, most of these titles are already available elsewhere or in a physical format. If they’re available on the Xbox One or Series X|S marketplace, they will remain available there. Also, if you...

Microsoft announced the four Xbox Games with Gold selections for August 2022, and you know what? It's better than it has been lately. (A caveat-filled summary, to be sure.) During the month, Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can nab Calico, ScourgeBringer, Saint's Row 2, and Monaco: What's Yours is Mine at no extra cost.

It's hard for Games with Gold to stand out in this giveaway-heavy climate, especially with so many players fixated on Xbox Game Pass, where the catalog runs deep and feels pretty consistently fresh. Today, Microsoft gave a heads-up about an upcoming change: starting in October 2022, the monthly "free" game lineups will no longer feature Xbox 360 titles.

Xbox has "reimagined" a pair of classic Xbox 360 Gamerpics for the modern era, and I was not prepared for all the memories these images would kick up. The team dropped a set of new avatars this week, and two of them — a bubble-gum punk with a beanie and a happy panda — should look familiar. Their roots go back to the early days of Gamerpics.

Fans battle constantly over what constitutes the "worst Sonic games in the series," and many have narrowed it down to Sonic '06at the top of the list; otherwise known as Sonic the Hedgehog. Helmed by Yuji Naka, Sega attempted to make both a 15th anniversary blowout game and a "serious" take on the franchise, and both blew up in their faces. It got so...
