It’s important we note that some updates made in these preview OS builds include background improvements that ensure a quality and stable build for Xbox One.

A definitive ending to an excellent story is a truly precious thing. That’s part of why Samurai Jack’s return for a final season in 2017 was so refreshing, as it capped off the legendary cartoon show with an appropriately epic and conclusive sendoff. Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time makes a risky choice, then, by attempting

In a love-letter to classic platformers and with a lick of paint to update proceedings, New Super Lucky’s Tale has arrived today on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. This is the version of Super Lucky’s Tale that launched on Nintendo Switch in 2019, but with a host of new features that make this a worthy

PGA Tour 2K is the new name for The Golf Club series, which could have just as easily been rebranded as Dark Holes for its uncompromisingly hardcore simulation of the sport. In its previous incarnation, it showed its players all the forgiveness of a FromSoftware game. But with its latest evolution under the 2K sports

I know what you’re thinking. A game based on a film, TV show or any well-established franchise is normally a vacuous, disappointing echo of what the fanbase imagined it to be. However, I think it’s important to say right at the start of this review that Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is surprisingly good. And here’s why.

Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is like watching a baseball game that only gets exciting in the bottom of the ninth. It’s a puzzle game set against the clock that unfortunately only begins to hit its stride as your time with it time runs out. While introducing some fresh time-bending and puzzle mechanics, it regularly fails to

Coffee Stain Studios and Ghost Ship Games invite all Xbox Insiders to preview Deep Rock Galactic Xbox Play Anywhere and crossplay for Xbox One and Windows 10!

With an unusual mixture of visual novel, driving and Car Mechanic Simulator, Road to Guangdong is an intriguing concept. But could the worry be that it does all ideas well enough, but never excels at anything? Or is there an emphasis on one aspect at the expense of the others? In actuality, it is all

Today, it’s with great pride that we are launching Thunder Lotus’ third game, Spiritfarer, a cozy management game about dying. Death is a recurring theme in our games, from the Viking afterlife in Jotun to the meandering eldritch caverns of Sundered. You could say that I’m obsessed. Spiritfarer is quite different though. Diving deep into

Sometimes in life it’s important to take a step back and breathe. We have all had our rough days, be it work, school, relationships, or any of the other number of things in life that can take their toll. Which is why many of us turn to video games. The sense of fun and accomplishment,

[Editor’s note: we got a late start on Mortal Shell, so through no fault of his own, our reviewer isn’t quite done with it yet. You can expect a full review up before the end of the week.] Mortal Shell was kicking my ass for the first couple of days — more so than any

Helheim Hassle feels like a descendant of Blizzard’s 1992 puzzle-platforming classic, The Lost Vikings, but instead of there being multiple vikings with unique skills to switch between, there’s just one viking who can separate into multiple manouvrable body parts in order to overcome each environmental obstacle. With a neatly evolving set of puzzle mechanics and

Nobody likes a colon more than a hidden object game (no, not like that), and we’re duly presented with one in Family Mysteries: Poisonous Promises. Currently on its third installment on the PC, Artifex Mundi has chosen to port this, the first in the series, for us lucky Xboxers. If you’ve dabbled in hidden object

Microsoft Flight Simulator is the most incredible experience I’ve ever had on a computer. The realism, the depth, the almost limitless replayability – it’s like nothing I’ve ever played before. It does so much to recreate the feeling of actual flight, at a level of accuracy never before seen, that there were times when I

EA Sports UFC 4 arrives August 15 worldwide and to mark its release, EA Sports is inviting fight fans to watch some big names step into the virtual octagon. Just like the UFC 4 roster is full of big names and fighters, the EA Sports UFC Virtual Fight Card Live packs a serious punch when

Fortnite. A game that has not just taken the gaming scene by storm, but seemingly the entire world. And come November it looks likely to hit even higher heights with the  Fortnite: The Last Laugh Bundle on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.  For many it may be the free-to-play opportunities

On August 11, 1999, the world was given one of the best science-fiction horror games to ever grace the industry, and one that would eventually spawn the likes of Bioshock, Prey, SOMA, and many more. I’m a few days late, but it would be inappropriate to not wish this game a happy belated birthday –

Summary Bite the Bullet is a run and gun featuring a tasty twist: you eat your enemies. With a sophisticated eating mechanic, your diet directly influences your skill tree, weapon options, and character abilities. Lock and load and get ready to eat! Classic run-and-gun platformers are beloved for their fast-paced action and challenging gameplay, but

After laying down a clunky but promising foundation with their first UFC game in 2014, EA Vancouver has done a respectable job of iterating and improving on each new entry over the last six years. That tradition continues in EA Sports UFC 4. It focuses on making its many complex systems a little less intimidating

It’s long been known that the most simplest of things can often turn out to be the best. And whilst we’re not going to sit here and proclaim that The Explorer of Night should be considered for Game of the Year 2020, the cheap asking price, the minimalist action and the opportunity to enjoy a

If ever there was a film franchise perfectly positioned for a modern video game adaptation, it’s Fast & Furious. For a medium so regularly adept at putting us in high-speed pursuits and shoving us through sweeping action sequences, it’s almost baffling that in nearly two decades this series has never spawned a truly top-notch, dedicated

It’s hard to say whether or not you will enjoy Skater XL. It is clunky, messy and could do with much more polish, but it also manages to offer a totally unique skating experience. Whilst you may not like it, you should definitely give it a go.  Skater XL is so unique, and that is

The Irid Novo space colony and research center has become somewhat of a legend in the rest of the galaxy. Due to its proximity to black hole Sagittarius Prime, nobody can know what really happens on board. Has the experiment been a success? Is the colony thriving? Or did something go wrong?
