Microsoft this week pulled the covers off a brand new thing called xCloud, the company’s much-talked-about streaming service that they first spoke about at E3 2018. xCloud will be Microsoft’s way to allow for gamers to play their Xbox games on any device, regardless of form factor. The name is goofy as heck, but it’s still a work in progress and will get its own catchy name when the time comes. What’s remarkable about this initiative is how similar it is to PlayStation Now, right down to its implementation.

There’s a new series of special edition controllers on the way for Microsoft’s big black (or white) box, and this time the Xbox chaps are going for a sporty theme. Which is oh so on point right now, what with people knocking little fuzzy balls back and forth on the lawn in Wimbledon, England, and other people kicking larger, leathery balls back and forth on a larger bit of grass in Russia. And then rolling around on the floor, writhing in agony, foul victim at the business end of a particularly fierce love tap from an opposing player. Still, new controllers, and the first one is so minty fresh you could brush your teeth with it.

Imagine, if you will, a tall, proud, beautiful oak tree. The tree is Microsoft. The leaves, they are an assortment of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games. And now it’s that time of the year when the leaves start to float to the ground, twirling gently in the breeze. It’s autumn, see. And that means it’s time for the Xbox Autumn Sale. And the leaves are games, falling. Except that it’s the prices that fall, really, not the games themselves. Right, my metaphor is crap.

Oh, it’s definitely happened to you. After hours, days even, of browsing through your Facebook archives and playing The Cure’s Disintegration on repeat and conscientious introspection about who did what wrong, you’re on the very verge of realising why your ex was actually the worst person ever. And then, suddenly, x_HITMAN_69_x WANTS TO PLAY WARFRAME.

Warframe.

Why did you even get that game? It’s the worst game ever. And maybe you’re the worst person ever. You don’t need this kind of epiphany now. And soon enough, you can preclude this sort of thing entirely.

Forza Motorsport 7 review

Let me tell you what it’s like trying to play Forza Motorsport 7 on Windows 10. Sometimes you sit down to play and it just works. The soundtrack is tight and invigorating, your heart beats faster when you’re overtaking on a rain-soaked Spa Francorchamps in a 1970s racecar that barely has any traction. It’s smooth and slick, and fun. You just click with it. And sometimes… sometimes you sit down to see the game updating, only for the Store app and the Xbox centre to forget that you own it. Or it crashes in the middle of making a livery because of a memory leak. Or it refuses to allow you to play while your internet is off. Or it crashes on the splash screen thanks to a license error.

Forza 7 is a beautiful, fun, and engaging racing game, tainted by running it on a platform that Microsoft seems to barely take seriously. I’ve reinstalled it seven times in the past two weeks. But it’s worth the initial pains, and these things are fixable, because I’ve grown to love this game.
