Ori and the Blind Forest is an upcoming platform adventure video game designed by Moon Studios, an independent developer, and published by Microsoft Studios. The game is currently scheduled to be published in the third quarter of 2014 for Xbox One and Microsoft Windows.



One of the biggest surprises of the show was Microsoft announcement of Moon Studios' “Ori and the Blind Forest,” a gorgeous new title that Game Informer says, "features tight and challenging platforming, a vibrant art style, and remarkably fluid animation." “Ori and the Blind Forest” was a critical darling at E3, bringing home more than 15 nominations and six wins from the gaming press. Echoing a sentiment heard throughout the show, GamesRadar wrote that “Ori and the Blind Forest” "immediately charms the pants off of anyone that plays it," while IGN gave the game its "Best Platformer" award.

Xbox One is built for the future- Video

For once, "cloud" is more than just a buzzword. WATCH to see how XBOX One makes for better gaming—now and in the future.



Graeme Boyd talks with Xbox Director of Product Planning, Albert Penello, about how advanced cloud computing, all new Kinect technology, and innovations in SmartGlass make Xbox One built for the future.

Don Mattrick choses Zynga over Microsoft- Your thought?

According to the report from gamespot.com, Don Mattrick has left Microsoft to become CEO at Zynga. Unsurprisingly, the gamers community had a thing or two to say about the matter.



Here are some comments from gamers:

TigusVidiks

His "vision" for gaming is a perfect match for Zynga. They are perfect for each other.



dmblum1799

Morningstar is probably the most respected analyst of stocks. They give Zynga zero stars and a forward P/E of 137. Apple's is 4 stars and the P/E is like 9(lower is better).



TheLamaKnows

comments from people who think their employment at the local burger stand is somehow the same as CEO of a multi-million dollar company. Like he just left with two weeks notice and dropped and application at another place. Transfer to a new CEO, votes from the shareholders, and negotiating millions in salary are not done on whim. Nor is it a sudden thing to anyone but people reading about it, no doubt it was months in the making. Trying to link this move to the Xbox controversy really just shows the ignorance and small frame thinking of video game players clearly unfamiliar with how the corporate world works unless you count the Saints (Row) as a legitimate business.



Grow up. This is the business world, and teenagers slinging insults from mom's basement just doesn't have the kind of pull gamers like to think they have. The guy moved UP to run an entire company, but I'm sure he is humbled by pimple faced gamers with their pithy internet comments. Now back to practicing You Want Fries With That, you!

Microsoft Revealed Game Titles for XBox One on E3 2013

Command some of history's most powerful tanks and experience intense combat where the excitement of battle is enhanced by working together with your tank platoon to win the fight.








Dark Souls II was thrown into the presentation as a definite shout-out to core gamers:



With the Xbox 360 announcements out of the way, Microsoft dove into Xbox One announcements with its biggest launch exclusive, Ryse: Son of Rome. The game follows the story of a Roman soldier who fights “to save the Roman Empire.”



A reboot of Rare’s Killer Instinct is on the way, though its appearance during the presentation was merely a tease:










The cryptic reveal for Quantum Break is made even more mysterious with a very sci-fi scene from the game. It’s one of the definite exclusives Microsoft has for Xbox One.

Nothing much was said about D4, but it’s art style made an impression:



The ideas behind Project Spark are nice, but will definitely rely on great implementation:





Another short teaser, this one from the creator of Panzer Dragoon:



Both Dead Rising 3 and The Witcher 3 got fairly good reactions during the presentation:







Microsoft’s shout-out to the indie crowd:



What Microsoft conference would be complete without a little Master Chief? This teaser is for a Halo game that will appear in the future on the Xbox One:

Microsoft Officially shutdown Hotmail

Hotmail Officially Dead According to Microsoft.

Microsoft announced on Thursday, May 2, that Hotmail will no longer exist after they have finished transferring all Hotmail accounts to its newer email system Outlook.

“Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve completed upgrading all Hotmailcustomers to Outlook.com. Coupled with the growing organic excitement for Outlook.com, this has pushed us to over 400 million active Outlook.com accounts, including 125 million that are accessing email, calendar and contacts on a mobiledevice using Exchange ActiveSync.” Microsoft wrote in a blog post.

But Hotmail account holders need not to worry as the old accounts will still be active though the interface of the old system is officially dead. It also offers new features like SkyDrive Integration.
