X-Box One release date

Xbox-One-logoI was surprised just a moment ago to find an email in my inbox from Microsoft announcing the release date for the Xbox One.  I was even more surprised by the date itself.  The Xbox One will get released on Friday, November 22nd.  There was a lot of speculation leading up to this that the Xbox One would get released the same day as the new Call of Duty: Ghosts which gets released on November 5th.

This also means that the PS4 has a one week advantage over the Xbox One.  In the grand scheme of things this probably doesn’t mean much because getting a system on Day One for both systems will be hard if you aren’t pre-ordering.  Microsoft is still taking pre-Orders for their Day One Editions of the console on their website.

Xbox One news

Review: Kill City Blues – A Sandman Slim Novel by Richard Kadrey

Kill-City-Blues1I read a lot. In the past year or so I’ve ingested over 100 books, so imagine how excited I was to find that our little site here was catching enough eyes for Harper Collins to ask us if we’d like some books to review. Granted, mostly I’ve caught up on a lot of the classics, I read all 7 books in Asimov’s Foundation series, most of the books in the adjoining Robot series, some of Heinlein’s best works, a little Jules Verne, a few old AD&D stories, got halfway through the Sword of Truth series and started reading through the Wheel of Time books. So I wondered to myself upon its arrival, especially with the dust cover boasting admonitions from the likes of Cory Doctorow and William Gibson, how I’d never heard of Richard Kadrey or his Sandman Slim books. Especially considering how good this one is. Continue reading
