Microsoft's new Kinect. Microsoft's got a brand-new version of its Kinect sensor for the Xbox One, an accessory that is no longer an add-on or pack-in, but a required piece of hardware like the Nintendo Wii light bar.

The newly announced Xbox One is getting a new controller to go with it. It looks a lot like the Xbox 360's controller, but with what Microsoft says are 40 "technical and design innovations" on top of its 8-year-old predecessor. So what's the big new change?

Juxtaposed against 1960s American suburban life, The Bureau is stylized historical fiction that looks a bit like "Mad Men" meets "War of the Worlds."
