Microsoft Pins Xbox One Hopes on Titanfall, a Sci-Fi Shooting Game - NYTimes.com

There is reason to be hopeful: Titanfall was created by a well-known game designer and has already received critical acclaim. In an unusual move for a major title created by an independent game maker, Titanfall is being released exclusively for three Microsoft platforms — the Xbox One, the older Xbox 360 console and Windows PCs."
