Digital Foundry: Among the most ambitious 'free to play' titles available today, World of Tanks gets a visual overhaul on Xbox One that few expected. It's unique for being the only game on Microsoft's box to have cross-platform play with its older Xbox 360 release - where owners of both consoles can play in the same 15v15 online battles. But Xbox One gets plenty of upgrades over and above this, from remade map assets, a new lighting model with high dynamic range (HDR) and improved physics and effects. It's a makeover that puts PC behind in some regards, but can Xbox One claim to offer the true, definitive version?

Like it or not, games are heavily dependent on attaining that holy grail of a high Metacritic aggregate. Personally,The What Culture find this heavy focus on dictating a games worth based on a numerical value as immensely disappointing. Not only does it deprive many gamers of a worthwhile experience, the industrys unrealistic belief that a game must reach a 90 or higher has formed an attitude where perfectly acceptable and genuinely good releases are dismissed as mediocre, despite reaching scores averaging in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately, this can also lead to the making or breaking of a perfectly capable studio in the process. No other console library experienced this unrealistic attitude more than the Xbox 360, which has rather sadly led to a long list of games whose praises simply arent hailed enough as they should be.

Ben Salter of MMGN: Lets not pretend time exclusivity is a new practice. It can be beneficial for the game and the platform, and we used to just accept it. It became more prevalent last-generation, and helped the Xbox 360 establish itself, but the PS2 followed a similar formula. While the concept of a timed exclusive only arose with some of the early hits on Xbox 360, the practice is much older. But without the speed of online communities and social media, publishers didnt need to be as transparent and gamers weren't as vocal about it as they have been with Tomb Raider. Here are 30 games that launched exclusive to one console that were released on another around a year later, proving Rise of the Tomb Raiders release schedule is nothing new.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is without a doubt my favorite game experience from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era. Starbreeze managed to craft an adventure that merged gameplay and storytelling in some truly revolutionary ways, resulting in an experience that impacted me emotionally more than any other game before.
