A few weeks ago we got a look at an unboxing of Microsoft’s forthcoming XBOX ONE console (HERE).
Now, at the ongoing Gamescom in Germany, the company has confirmed which titles will actually be available at launch - and it’s a formidable line-up.

My teen son will flip his shit for SKYLANDERS: SWAP FORCE on XBOX ONE, my teen son will flip shit for WATCHDOGS on XBOX ONE...
...and, based on a recent gameplay oportunity at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, I’m expecting to lose my mind fro RYSE - for which this new trailer has just been issued.
This amazing new promo for the third DEAD RISING entry hit yesterday...
...DR3 was pretty much understood to be a launch title all along.
Still no word on exactly when XBOX ONE will arriVe in stores - although November looks to be a certainty from all indications, and we recently learned that XB1 will initially bow in THESE 13 markets initially. Very much looking forward to this launch...very much. One question which I haven't seen answered yet (have I missed it?): can Skype on XBOX ONE work while game play is actually happening? That could be a fascinating development socially...
