Wolfenstein II: The Freedom Chronicles (DLC)

The last of three episodes of the Wolfenstein II DLC, the Freedom Chronicles season pass was recently released. I hadn't played the first two up to that point, so I decided it was time. Each episode, has the chronicles the adventures of a different American fighting against the Nazi invaders. Each of these characters has their own motives for taking up the fight, and they each have their own special skill.

Microsoft introduces Graphics and Performance modes for Xbox One X Backward Compatibility

Microsoft has been pretty steady adding Xbox 360 games to the Xbox One compatibility list, and recently with Xbox One X they've started adding them with 4K support. A few days ago they added four games, Fable Anniversary, Crackdown, Forza Horizon, and The Witcher 2 to its list of Xbox One X enhanced games. These games will run in a 4K resolution, at 9x the original resolution, but there is now an additional option which is Performance mode. In performance mode the game will ditch the 4K resolution, which could help the games ability to run at a higher frame rate, if unlocked, or provide a more stable framerate if capped. In order to toggle the setting, you need to open the Xbox 360 guide by pressing both the view and menu buttons on your Xbox One controller, then go to Settings.

A return to the racing game Split/Second

Split/Second is an arcade style racing game by the now closed developer Black Rock Studio and published by Disney Interactive Studios, for MS Windows, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. What made this racing game unique was its fictional reality television show theme, and its "power play" feature, in which rigged explosions or booby traps could be triggered remotely by the player, or AI opponents. These two aspects really made for an intense racing game that is sure to increase your heart rate and make your palm sweat, which I loved to play.
