Microsoft announces backwards compatibility for Xbox One Full story >

During its press presentation on Monday, Microsoft announced that starting this holiday season, Xbox One owners will be able to play a selection of previously purchased Xbox 360 games on the next-generation console.

This new feature could encourage more Xbox 360 gamers who have been reluctant to commit to the next-generation console to make the switch to Xbox One, just in time for the holidays.

With Wii U and now Xbox One offering backwards compatibility, will Playstation 4 soon join?

While it had the media's attention, Microsoft also showcased a slate of games on the way, including "Rise of the Tomb Raider."

Multiple looks at 'Star Wars: Battlefront'

"Star Wars" fans received two looks at "Star Wars: Battlefront" during E3 press presentations on Monday.

The first look came from Electronic Arts, the developer behind the game that is scheduled for a Nov. 17 release.

"Battlefront" was the centerpiece of EA's E3 presentation on Monday, and the footage shared revealed multiplayer game play on "The Battle of Hoth" as well as a scene to remind fans that the game is not quite canonical.

Sony's presentation also featured new "Battlefront" gameplay footage.

Patrick Bach of EA's Dice Studios was on hand to discuss the game, sharing how the game's single player mode will allow players to relive battles from "Star Wars" films old and new.

In contrast to the frozen landscape showcased in EA's preview, the battle in this trailer takes place on a desert that fans speculated was Jakku but that the official YouTube description calls Tatooine.

Other highlights from Sony's presentation include a new "Hitman" game, "Assassin's Creed Syndicate," a look at the wee "World of Final Fantasy" and news that a "Final Fantasy VII" remake was on the way.

'Amiibos,' 'Skylanders,' 'Disney Infinity' and more toys-to-life gaming Full story >
