Smurfs Kart xbox screenshot We’re slightly amazed that there aren’t more video games focusing on the little blue Smurfs, for we feel they would be rich for all kind of adventure. But perhaps the turning point will be the release of Smurfs Kart on Xbox and PlayStation.  Announced for an August 22nd 2023 release on

Making friends in 2023 is difficult, what with the social anxieties of coming out of lockdown, and the increasingly isolated existence that we’re all experiencing. But spare a thought for an AI living in a video game from 1984. That must be a lonely experience. If we find it hard making friends, it’s got to

It’s not much of a choice is it? Death or Treat? We’ll go for ‘Treat’. Death or Treat, in this instance, is an action-platformer roguelike, vaguely in the way of Dead Cells. You fight your way through procedurally generated levels and hordes of enemies, bump up against the odd boss, and hope that you can

Squint at Stranded: Alien Dawn and you might be forgiven for thinking it’s a sandbox management sim that’s set on Earth. But the title gives a big old clue that Stranded: Alien Dawn isn’t quite so local. It’s an unusual sim that brings the base-building of a Settlers or an Anno, with all their farms

Little Disaster screenshot Ratalaika Games are back with another cheap and cheerful gaming experience – but this one is a bit of a Little Disaster.  I mean, it might not be, and in fact it may be quite good, but the clue is perhaps in the name.  Available to purchase and download right now on

Hi there. My name is Julián, and I’m the lead developer of Despelote – a slice-of-life adventure about childhood and soccer in Quito, Ecuador in the year 2001. Myself and the team are happy to stop by the Xbox Wire today to announce that our game is coming to Xbox Series X|S in 2024. We’re

Gnomes Garden 5: Halloween pathway Back in 2018 and 2019 the Gnomes Garden series started rolling out into the Xbox world. There seemed to be no rhyme nor reason behind how the games arrived, but we lapped them up anyways. Now, some four years since the last addition, Gnomes Garden 5: Halloween pops up. And

Get ready for an epic adventure as VShojo’s legendary Vtubers make their way into the Battleground of the Gods! This WILD crossover will feature six new skins created alongside the VShojo cast – Vei, Ironmouse, Nyanners, Silvervale, Kson, and Apricot.

We’ve been trying for the life of us to work out why 90” Soccer is called what it is. Is the width of the pitch a mere 90 inches wide? The length maybe? Perhaps the goals are teeny tiny affairs in which goalies are miniaturised. Or perhaps 90” Soccer is called what it is because

We loved the rebooted Saints Row when it released in 2022, and whilst we fully understand that Deep Silver and Volition’s launch wasn’t to everyone’s taste, for us, as big Saints fans, we couldn’t get enough of it. But more is always appreciated and today we not only see the arrival of the game’s first

There’s always a bit of a draw whenever a new game arrives on the Game Pass scene, but smashing its way through the saloon doors today is an older Xbox game that has just been given the Xbox Series X|S treatment.  Weird West first burst onto the scene back in March 2022, as the Day

The Xbox has played host to some odd fusions of genres in the past. Whether it be the rhythm action/RPG blend of Infinite Guitars, or the mix of Metroidvania with Lovecraftian horror in The Last Case of Benedict Fox, there are many genre fusing games out there.  Well, now, there is yet another in the

There are two types of fairy tales being told across the world. There is the one which we are read to as children, tales full of morals, adventure and happy endings. These tales get turned into films, told again and again, forevermore. But within these stories, there lies a darker truth – murder, monsters, and

I’m very much split when it comes to procedurally generated games. I like the fact that no new game is the same, that when you die and start again the rules and map will change to ensure that you have to tackle it with new eyes and ears. But there is a flip side to

Now that the dust has almost settled on the blood-stained streets of HELL-A in Dead Island 2, it is time to get something off my chest. Something that has been affecting my moral compass since 2014 when myself and my two best friends played through the original Dead Island in co-op mode, from start to
