Titanfall Prima Eguide Digital code.

Attack on Titan Vol. 1

LootCrate's Titanfall Crate.

So this month Xbox One's killer app was released Titanfall has broken a ton of records from awards at E3 to the amount of people playing the game on twitch. The game is selling like hot cakes and it is doing very well. So this month Respawn the company that developed the game partnered with a company called LootCrate they ship crates of geekory all over the country. This month their theme was Titan in honor of Titanfall and Attack on Titan this awesome anime.

The loot comes in this really cool black box that has the name of the company printed on it. when you open it you are treated to a book that has an image of the theme and has some info on what is inside of the box.

It is just a small booklet on the outside there is an image of a character from Attack on Titan fighting a Titan from Titanfall. The art is pretty cool upon opening the book you are treated to a review of the anime Attack on Titan and a small preview of what Titanfall is like.

Upon removing the booklet I found that I got a lanyard from Titanfall and a button with the words lootcrate on the outer border. The Lanyard is pretty cool I cant wait to put it on my keys an add the button to my collection.

 Getting passed that I found that in the box there is also a wrist strap with the emblem of the scouts from Attack on Titan along with a Magnet that has the picture from the booklet screen printed on it. I am putting that bad boy on my refrigerator.

Getting to the bottom of the box I found the first Volume of Attack on Titan and a Digital code to the  Prima Guide for Titanfall. I am going to be holding a contest to give the digital guide away along with the first volume of Attack on Titan.

By far the coolest of all the items was at the very bottom of the box it is a shirt that is Titanfall themed It is pretty cool it is screen printed on a all black shirt I like the image I wish that it had the image that was on the booklet but it is still pretty cool.

If you are interested on getting your own LootCrate you can head to LootCrate.com it is too late to get the Titan themed Crate but you can sign up for next months crate.

Xbox One Media Remote.

When the Xbox 360 was released if you bought the premium version of the console you got the original media remote for free. A couple months after the consoles release you were able to buy the Xbox 360 Universal Media remote.

Now the Xbox One is following suit. With the Xbox One Media Remote. Much like all current Xbox One accessories this comes packaged in the normal green box. Much like the other accessories before it, it has and image of the item and its name in multiple languages.

Upon opening the remote you are treated to the remote in the standard white cardboard that houses all the accessories. Unlike the controller and the stereo adapter it is nestled  at 90 degree angle as featured in the picture below.

 

When you take the remote out of the packaging you find that the whole of the controller is cased in rubber and that the item is soft to the touch. It also has a built in gyroscope so that if you move the controller it will light up making it easy to use in the dark.

The controller has all you typical buttons including a dedicated home button a long with dedicated back and menu buttons sad to say that none of the buttons are touch sensitive they are actually pressure sensitive. An alot of them only work if you are using the Xbox One as a pass through box, if you arent using the Xbox One as a pass through for your cable box you will only be able to use the remote when you watch blurays. 

 

The controller uses 2 triple A batteries unlike it predecessor. Also the back panel of the remote is hard to pry off you have to slide and pull up. It isnt relatively hard but it may be hard for those that arent familiar with how to do it. 

All in all the remote is a great buy at the $24.99 price point it is a great joy to use so that you dont have to always use the remote.

Xbox One Stereo Adapter.

When the Xbox One was released everyone including myself was angry. Why you may ask? We were angry because Microsoft made it so we couldn't use our really and do I mean really expensive headsets on the controller for the console. There were modded controller adapters but nothing that would really let us use all the features of our headsets.

Well fast forward to now and you can purchase this little guy in stores. The Xbox One Stereo Adapter this thing is amazing. It give you the chance to use the expensive headset that you own. On your console.

The adapter comes like all accessories for the Xbox One in the medium size green box with a image of the accessory on it. After you open it up again you get the standard item in the white cardboard. As featured in the picture below.

The adapter is about the same size as the one that came with standard headset that is packaged with the system. It is slightly bigger because on the left side there are the controls for the game volume and for the chat volume. With the new standard you can control whether you hear more of the game or more of the people you are playing with.

Last but not least the adapter come packaged with 2 extra cables a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter because some headsets dont use the standard 3.5 an it also comes with a small micro usb cable so that when you plug the adapter in to controller you can update it. That is featured in the picture below all in all the accessory is pretty amazing. If I owned 4 controllers I would totally buy one for each of them. So far I only own 2 the Titanfall one and the Day One controller.

Until Next Time Geeks.

Titanfall the Review.

An it has happened we finally got one of the biggest killer apps on the Xbox One. Back during E3 2013 we all got to see a game that changed the way that we looked at the Xbox One and we all thought it was hype we all thought that everything we saw and heard was going to be too good to be true. True to the contrary it wasn't hype or wishful thinking it was all fact. Titanfall is amazing everything about the game is amazing.

Lets begin with the Campaign from start to end the campaign is about 2 hours on each end you can play as the IMC or Militia. Each is full of there own stories and surprises that I will not ruin for anyone but they are there. The campaign doesn't play like a normal campaign, It is played as a set of multiplayer matches the story still plays out like any other campaign but you still play online randomly with others. An upon beating both sides you can unlock some of the other chassis that can beused in the multiplayer modes. In all honesty the Campaign Multiplayer is lacking it has great story for the first time but it has no depth. It gives you no reason to play it over and over again save for earning the 2 chassis. Not to mention that it gives you no reason at all to understand why they are fighting.

Now to the part of the game that brought out all the hype and has got us all in a stir for the game. The multiplayer, it is split between 6 different modes they are

• Attrition which is Team Deathmatch
• Last Titan Standing which is search and destroy. The game starts you off in a Titan and you have to hunt the other teams Titans and destroy them. 
• Hardpoint which is the Titanfall version of King of the Hill. 
• Capture the flag which is explanitory
• Pilot hunter which is a variation of Team Death Match where you only earn points buy killing pilots and not grunts. 
• An last but not least Variety Pack which just randomizes each game that you play.  

All the modes are fun they will give you hours upon hours of play and will keep you coming back for more my favorite mode is Last Titan Standing.  I love working with my team to totally destroy everyone.

All in all Titanfall is an amazing game it is lacking in some parts but for a game that is strictly all multiplayer it shines like a Titan that is about to go nuclear. It is a great start to show players what the Xbox One has to come.

Until Next Time Geeks....

Turtle Beach XO Seven Unboxing.

When the Xbox One was released on the 22nd of November everyone including myself was so disappointing that we couldn't use any of the headsets that we purchased for the 360 due to the new proprietary adapter for the Xbox One headset. 

So it has been a few months and today comes the first release of headsets for the Xbox One from Turtle Beach they are the XO Sevens and the XO Fours. We currently dont have the fours in here at EGFG but we have the Sevens 

 

 

The headset comes in standard Turtle Beach packaging that is a slip cover over another box.  As featured in the picture below the under box for the headset is all white and embossed with the Turtle Beach logo.  It is an awesome looking box.

  

When you pull the flap open you will see the headset is rested nicely in a plastic case an in the middle of it is the Xbox One headset adapter that is what makes it possible for you to use any headset on the Xbox One.

  

 The headset has a break away cable meaning that if you drop your controller there is no chance that you can have the headset be ripped off your head.

 

The headset comes with some extra accessories it comes with the mic cable, a mini usb to usb the headset cable and the boom mic which is detachable.

 

 Feature in the last picture above this is a better look at the Xbox One adapter it is what makes it possible to control game volume and chat volume with the headset. 

As I said in the title of my post this is just an unboxing stay tuned for a review of the headset this week around the time of the release of Titanfall.
