Available this week is a brand-new experience for railfans — West Somerset Railway, the longest heritage line in the United Kingdom and the first official add-on to Train Sim World on Xbox one.

This year, with the same great cause at heart, we’re taking this idea to a whole new… Continue reading Bid on Custom Xbox One X Consoles from Top Celebrities to Support Make-A-Wish→

Starting today, TERA’s action combat gets even deadlier with the introduction of an exciting new playable character class on Xbox One: the ninja. The ninja is a quick, mobile damage-dealer with a mystical connection to divine fire. Ninjas chop, stab, and slice their way through enemies, and can dodge through enemy attacks with ease.
