Villages in the middle of nowhere. We all know that they have a lot of problems in games. In real life, they have to deal with bad wifi service, buses only arriving once a day, and the village shop closing at 11am on a Wednesday. In games, they have to deal with devil possession, zombie

Steven Spielberg’s movies are a lot of things, but they’re rarely intimate or personal – not in a way that would reveal much about the film-maker, anyway. The Fabelmans is an outlier in that sense. It’s an autobiographical movie from someone who leans towards a biography – Lincoln and Schindler’s List being the first to

saints row doc ketchums murder circus is out now It may have split the gaming community, but we loved the newly rebooted Saints Row. That said, we weren’t overly keen on The Heist and the Hazardous expansion which tried to build on things. Perhaps the arrival of the latest Saints Row content will tempt us

Missing is the second in the ‘-ing’ series of movies from the writer-producer duo of Sev Ohanian and Aneesh Chaganty. The first film was Searching, a movie which completely sidewinded us in 2018. We dismissed it as a zeitgeisty, gimmicky thriller, but it turned out to be one of our favourite movies of that year. 

That’s it. I’m doomed to play 8floor games until the day I keel over. Somehow arriving on the Xbox on a weekly basis, they are a cursed coin that keeps ending up back in my pocket, no matter how many times I toss them down a well. For the uninitiated, 8floor Ltd have a well-worn

Best Tennis Games on Xbox Whether it is the green grass of Wimbledon, the hard courts of the Aussie and US Opens or the clay of Roland-Garros, tennis is big business. But what if you want to channel your inner Djokovic, Federer, Williams or any of the new guns coming through in the virtual world?

We currently seem to be at one of those rare times when conditions here in the UK, and of that in Mexico, coincide. In the world of Forza Horizon 5, it is now winter, and that equates to the Dry Season in that strange country. And there seems to be a noticeable lack of rain

Hi-Fi RUSH Arcade Challenge! Update! Thinking back to the start of 2023, when we were all cosied up in our winter pyjamas, celebrating the New Year and committing to burning off the Christmas calories. Who were we to know of the sheer awesomeness that is Hi-Fi RUSH. Bethesda and Tango Gamework’s rhythm-action hack ’n’ slasher

There’s a new game addition today with Sword and Fairy: Together Forever on Game Pass Xbox Game Pass keeps on pumping out the hits and today we see a new game arrive on the service. This one launched on Xbox a mere 6 months back, now going free on the Game Pass subscription service. Are

Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective finally finds its way to the sunny shores of Xbox bay. First released in 2011 for the Nintendo DS, Ghost Trick is ready to haunt the good players of Xbox (and those other systems). Coming from the genius minds behind Capcom’s Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright franchises, gives the game some

If you’ve picked up a game controller at any point over the last three decades, there’s a chance you would have played a bit of The Settlers. A series that first launched to the world some thirty years ago, it’s gone through a ton of iterations. Today though it’s all about the new, with a

In a sea of roguelite games, its becoming increasingly hard to find games that truly differentiate themselves. Shared mechanics are common within the genre and even when new subgenres appear, such as deck-building roguelites, they are often quick to be copied. It comes down to how well a game manages to adopt and implement these

At times, during a review process, an acknowledgment hits. That video games are amazing. They can entertain and tell amazing new stories that play with the boundaries of fantasy and reality in clever new ways. I’m not just talking about the big games either, those with their million-dollar advertising budgets and huge studio spaces. I’m

You’ve got to wonder how many more accessible city-builders 8floor Ltd have got in their vaults. They’re clearly having a clearout, as the past few months have seen four tumble onto the Xbox: two in the Gnome Garden series, one in the Lost Artifact series, and a newbie called Garden Story. Now you can add

MORTAL KOMBAT!  Sorry, I had to shout so that your brain would start playing the classic 1990’s Mortal Kombat theme song – Techno Syndrome.  I love a bit of Mortal Kombat, first released in the early ‘90s, the series is taking the soft reboot option by going to Mortal Kombat 1 instead of working towards

There’s clearly a SEGA Megadrive fan working on TORINTO. Each level is introduced with a ‘Green Hill Zone’ style title card, and the bosses arrive every few levels like Doc Robotnik. There’s a Golden Axe ‘Go!’ message every time you clear a screen, and the gameplay is somewhere between Rolling Thunder and Altered Beast. TORINTO

Doom and Destiny Worlds on Xbox When the world is threatened by farting stone giants, cursed genies and cosplaying goblins, it is up to a merry band of four spotty nerds to save the day, in Doom & Destiny Worlds on Xbox. The Next in the Series Doom & Destiny Worlds on Xbox is the
