It is now easy to capture screenshots on Xbox One and share them online thanks to the new system update. The screenshots captured through Xbox One are of superior quality compared to those captured through PlayStation 4. However, both the consoles compress the images when sharing them on online platforms. Compression refers to the way Xbox One resizes the images before sharing them. The Xbox One’s compression feature ensures that the image quality is not affected much after it has been resized. In some instances, the resized image may lower in quality thus appearing blurry. However, you need to follow some steps to get the highest quality screenshots.

The one area that games have developed massively over the past few years is in their writing. As screenwriters approach the medium and independent developers learn to express themselves with more clarity the complexity and sophistication of gaming narratives has grown. The Stanley Parable is one such game that has benefited massively from that improvement, and also the improvement in the quality of voice actors available.

The Stanley Parable is a first person puzzle and exploration game set in an office block. Stanley, our hero, is constantly narrated by a cutting, intelligent and hilarious man who comments on every aspect of your actions. The game is completely mind bending as well; with some extremely clever puzzles, and unexpected twists and turns along the way – The Stanley Parable might be a walking simulator, but it’s clever, witty and extremely well written. If this is a sign of things to come then gamers have a lot to look forward to in the years to come.

A grim tale of bureaucracy and poverty in a totalitarian state; Cart Life is the multi award winning, including the Seumas McNally Grand Prize at the IGF in 2013, game from creator Richard Hofmeier. The game is described as a “retail simulator” but also focuses on eating, drinking, sleeping, friendship, loss, triumph, punishment and crime – in truth, it simulates a lot of the human experience.

It’s not a huge amount of fun though; the game is bleak, albeit excellent, in its execution. There’s three characters to navigate through Cart Life’s grim world; each with their own friendships and hardships, and best of all the game is now free.

Richard Hofmeier has removed his game from Steam and offering it for free alongside the source code, so people can now see the inner workings of the game itself and make their own content for it. Check out the game’s website for the free download.
