Backspace is about logging online to find that you're sucked into a super network and can't escape. That might sound like a horror story, but it's not.

Throw down the gauntlet.

I have two vivid memories of the Gauntlet series: hacking and slashing my way through on the N64 as a badass minotaur, and when I was twelve-years old, wasting far too much time and way too many quarters on a cruise ship by playing Gauntlet Legends on the ninth-floor arcade. Throwing an infinite number of spiraling axes at goblins and arcs was an addictive gimmick, which eventually subsided over the course of a few years. But Warner Bros. and Arrowhead Game Studios believe that the wait is over and the franchise is ready to be rebooted, a feat which will be tested very soon.

This Gauntlet revival takes several cues from the classic franchise, having four fixed classes—a muscle-bound barbarian Warrior, a swift and shield-ready Valkyrie, a fleet-footed bow-handling Elf, and a crusty but powerful Wizard. The story doesn't really matter so much, but suffice it to say, you and up to three your trusted companions must fight against all manner of undead and purge all evil from the land one dungeon at a time. Along the way, you'll gather piles of gold, potions for magical spells, chicken platters for health (unless you accidentally shoot it), and keys to unlock doors, and hopefully reach the end of the level in one piece.

Along the way, they made some odd and sometimes baffling choices. However, all of these choices very much seem deliberate and this strange amalgamation is exactly the game Bungie wanted to make.

• An achievements App is updated to enable sharing of achievements, as well as comparisons with friends' data.
• A new Friends section allows players to get a glance of what their friends are up to, as well as observing their recent activities and Gamerscore.

For TV and video:

• Media Player DLNA and MKV support
• Live TV Trending - a new metric on which TV shows are most popular
• Xbox One Digital TV Tuner support
• Stream TV to SmartGlass (only available to those with an Xbox One Digital TV Tuner)
