Just Look At These Absurd Godzilla-Themed Xbox One Consoles

If you like your consoles extremely textured and spiky, you’re in luck: Microsoft has announced a promotion for the upcoming film Godzilla: King of the Monsters, with four custom-themed Xbox One X consoles as the prizes. Each one is modeled after an iconic creature from Godzilla lore, including the King of the Monsters itself.

You can enter the sweepstakes by retweeting the promotional Xbox tweet by June 7. You have to be age 14 or over, and minors need a parent or guardian’s permission. If you win you’ll be notified via Twitter direct message. Four winners will get one of the specialized Xbox One X consoles.

Those consoles are modeled after Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, and of course, Godzilla. The film, which releases on May 31, refers to this collection of monsters as “Titans” and has them brawl for monster supremacy. It’s directed by Michael Dougherty and stars Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), Vera Farmiga (The Departed), and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones).

These consoles are all the Xbox One X, the more powerful revision of the original Xbox One. Microsoft also offers the Xbox One S, a revision to the Xbox One size that doesn’t boost its power. It also recently introduced the Xbox One S All Digital Edition, which is similar to the standard S model except it lacks any disc drive.

Can You Name All 20 Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Maps?

Call of Duty is one of the biggest video game series around. Black Ops 4‘s popularity is still going strong, even with the next Call of Duty game on the horizon. And although the series was huge from the very beginning, it owes a decent proportion of its success to the groundbreaking game that was Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

CoD4’s multiplayer modes completely changed the series–and the shooter genre–and its popularity continued into the sequels Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3.

Video Game Hall Of Fame Adds Four More Games In 2019, See Them Here

The Strong Museum has announced the 2019 round of inductees into its World Video Game Hall of Fame. This year’s inductees include Windows Solitaire, Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Kart, and Colossal Cave Adventure.

They were selected by a panel of experts from a pool that also included Centipede, Dance Dance Revolution, Half-Life, Myst, NBA 2K, Sid Meier’s Civilzation, Candy Crush Saga, and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Those titles will have a chance to enter the Hall next year.

In a statement, the museum said this year’s four inductees have all “significantly affected the video game industry, popular culture, and society in general.”

The World Video Game Hall of Fame opened at the Strong Museum in Rochester, New York in 2015 with the aim of honoring the best, most influential games ever. To enter the Hall of Fame, a game must have “enjoyed popularity over a sustained period and have exerted influence on the video game industry or on popular culture and society in general.”

Microsoft released a celebratory video to mark Solitaire’s inclusion in the World Video Game Hall of Fame. Microsoft Casual Games boss Paul Jansen said Solitaire getting inducted into the Hall of Fame is a “historic day” for what he said is one of the most-played games ever. Windows Solitaire launched in 1990 as a tool to teach users how to use a mouse.

Mortal Kombat series creator Ed Boon said on Twitter that NetherRealm is “very honored” for Mortal Kombat to be added to the Hall of Fame.

Some of the previous Hall of Fame inductees include classics like Donkey Kong, Halo: Combat Evolved, The Legend of Zelda, Pokemon Red & Green, and World of Warcraft, among others. The inductees are on display permanently at The Strong Museum.
