That’s a feat: The Xbox One is, simply, the new gold standard for black boxes. The Xbox One is easy to use and integrates all the services you would want into one place, in a way that no other device specifically designed for the TV has. Microsoft has built the most comprehensive, capable and roundly satisfying media box that you have ever plugged into your television. It's an all-in-one media center that integrates video games, the Internet, your cable box and several streaming media subscriptions in one.Įven if you never figured out how to throw a forward pass in "Madden" or ever managed to shoot anyone at all in "Halo," there is supposed to be something here for you.Īnd lo! There is. Microsoft is pitching the Xbox One as a home entertainment system rather than a gamer's dream machine. I imagine I made the cut because, as Microsoft promised me, the Xbox One is less about video games than any previous video game console. Given this utter lack of gaming cred, it was kind of Microsoft to give me an early chance to try its new Xbox One, which on Friday will go on sale as the company’s first new game console since the Xbox 360 in 2005. In single-player mode, my relationship with any video game is the same as my relationship with "Gravity's Rainbow": I have never "finished" either, only gotten far enough in that I consider my experience complete and satisfactory. In high school, my friends invited me over to play only when they needed a round number of participants most of my recent gaming experiences have ended with me getting punted off a floating island after inflicting zero damage on my competitors, or else getting karate chopped to death by Oddjob, despite possessing the so-called Golden Gun. Of all the writers reviewing the Xbox One, I am undoubtedly the worst at video games.
