Xbox One is designed to be on for 10 years straight
The Xbox One design doesn’t really differ much from its predecessor’s. However Microsoft have really pushed the limits on their latest console, while keeping in mind the very important factor of reliability. A reliable source says that the console has been designed to run continuously for 10 years. And not only that, Microsoft have also kept in mind that while this device is designed to run for 10 years, it also needs to run silently enough, so that it is something one could keep in a living room. Its a hard combination to get right, so Microsoft went with a fairly large design which allows better heat dissipation. Although no official specifications have been declared, the Xbox One is approximately 34x26x8cm, which a considerably larger than the 360. Even though we got a prett...

8 Reasons why Affleck will be do a good job as Batman (Pt.2)
4. Zack isn’t stupid We all know Sucker Punch wasn’t the best of his movies, and we have right reason to believe that he may screw this one up too. But we tend to forget that he has been learning from Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer and it was with their help that he portrayed a very interesting, and in my opinion, a rather unique spin on Superman. He seemed to have a knack for for portraying stories. ‘Man of Steel’ was a good movie, after all it was of Kent finding his way in this world, not pun intended, and I think he did a good job in making the audience feel the detachment and alienation he felt. 4. He’ll work behind the scenes Affleck isn’t that sort of an actor who just does the bare minimum required, but actually gives a lot of input ...

Here are just 8 of the many reasons why I think he could potentially do a good job as the next Batman- 8. He won’t be taking this one lightly In Novembe...

NBA 2K14 – Official Trailer
With little over a month left to the release of NBA 2K14, 2K sports have finally released a trailer for the game. The trailer looks to be more or less the same to last years, there isn’t much that is new in this game for this years edition other than the players etc. The cover art features Basketball Star LeBron James of Miami Heat who also happened to produce the sound track for the game. 2K Sports announced a DLC pack for those who pre-order this game. But on the whole, nothing that really excites us that much, maybe its cause we’re Indian. I mean, basketball, isn’t exactly one of the popular sports around. But nevertheless, we wish this game well and hope its a success.
