I’ve had my Xbox for about 2 years now. When I bought it I also bought a second controller so that the kids could occasionally play with me. Both controllers have been perfectly fine in that time. However, I have probably run them ragged in the past year from all the gameplay I have done. To that end both of the controllers failed on me. They each have their own issues. I detail them in this video below. Because I could not make videos with controllers that would act up out of nowhere I bought a new one. The cost of he business of play. I got the Shock Blue controller and it is really nice.
A while back one of my co-workers told me about Project X-Cloud. This is a new way to play XBox games on the go. Xbox is looking to launch a program where you only need an xBox controller with Bluetooth and a tablet or cell phone with the ability to connect to the internet. My XBox controllers have bluetooth so I got a $5 bracket that hold my cell phone and I can play games right off the cloud. The games are screaming fast and super clear because the processing power is done by Microsoft and not my phone. Phones do not have a high enough GPU to process such high end games like Gears of War, Halo and more. Actually in the preview there are only four games that I can play. They are Gears of War 5, Halo 5, Killer Instinct and Sea of Pirates. I’ve been playing Gears of War 5 already and it is a lot of fun. It is cool to be able to take this on the go and play it anywhere.
