At grave risk of sounding like a stuck record, I used to play Contra III on my Super Nintendo; the takeaway memory being just how bloody hard the game was, getting past the first boss was a real achievement.  Fast forward more years than I’d care to think about and a new entry in the

When a game comes with some additional ’16-bit soundtrack arrangements’, you should know exactly what era it is championing. And Unicorn Overlord does that with aplomb; mixing the best bits of the olden days with some unique and underutilised gems from modern gaming too. A tactical RPG, Unicorn Overlord is the latest game from Vanillaware.

Be a good doggo in Farewell North Over recent months and years, it’s been the cats who have come to the fore of gaming. But now there’s a bit of a scrap going on, as the dogs look to regain command. They’ll be doing it this August with the new narrative adventure of Farewell North. 

From the moment you set eyes on it, it’s clear that Harold Halibut is a particularly intricate labor of love. A narrative adventure set under the sea, the game places you in the squeaky shoes of its titular protagonist Harold, a lab assistant working aboard an underwater spaceship.  As Harold, you’ll bimble around the confines

“Take up arms, Arisen”… Ever since that line was uttered in the first Dragon’s Dogma, I was hooked. Like the first, Dragon’s Dogma 2 sees you take the mantle of Arisen. The Arisen is an individual that is chosen to do battle with the Dragon; a colossal beast seen as the harbinger of destruction. Those

I remember playing the original Alone in the Dark back in 1992 and being blown away. It was the first game to use polygonal characters over pre-rendered characters. It was also one of the very first 3D survival horror games. It was a game that spawned a hell of a lot of sequels through the

It might sound a little cheesy, but sometimes I think it’s forgotten that everyone here is super passionate and love Xbox just as much as our users. Like, just watching people work for the past seven-and-a-half years, I’ve seen so many incredible people working really hard to make things happen. If we were anywhere else,

If you’d ask me what type of game Froggie – A Retro Platformer would be, before spending time with it, I’m pretty sure I’d have known how to answer. After all, the clue is very much in the name.  And shock horror, Froggie doesn’t ever deviate from that over some 100 levels of retro platforming. 

From the veteran team behind Void Bastards and Card Hunter, Wild Bastards has you travel from planet to planet to recruit, manage and gun sling with a team of 13 outlaws, each of whom has their own weaponry, special power, and growth tree. On planets, you’ll wrangle loot and start showdowns that are then played

There are certain examples of B-movies that many say are so bad that they become brilliant to watch, the amazing example of the film “The Room” that in the 2000s got labelled the worst film of all time. Its renown made it so famous that people would pack cinemas to see it and laugh, becoming

A step beyond scratching the Baldur’s Gate 3 itch. Synchronous turn-system. Fast-paced tactical co-op combat. Stolen Realm is a game that’s been partly inspired by the work of Larian Studios, via the fantastic Divinity: Original Sin games, so while we’ve been finishing up Stolen Realm over the last few months, it’s been fantastic to see

There is something about the end of the world that I find comforting. At least the end of the worlds we take in through gaming.  What should be a horrendous journey in hope of finding survival, where humans fight others over the scarcest of supplies, I find to be my comfy slippers game of choice.
