When Team17 and Blacklight Interactive rolled Golf With Your Friends out on to Xbox One, Xbox Game Pass, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC back in May, we were expecting a fun crazy golf experience that would tide us over a few nights. Months later, we're still playing it, mostly due to the sheer fun it brings when a group of like-minded gamers come together for a round or two. Now though Golf With Your Friends is getting bigger, better, and wetter, with a brand new free course that will allow us to take a dive into The Deep.

We've harnessed the force in Star Wars Squadrons, we've enjoyed the humour of Star Wars in LEGO form, and we've run the route of a Jedi in Fallen Order. Now though it's time to go podracing as Star Wars Episode I Racer hits Xbox One.

We already know that NBA 2K21 is a pretty damn solid basketball experience. And we already know that the next-gen version of the game really is getting ready to provide visual flair above and beyond anything we could ever have expected. Seems about right then that we get the chance to take a closer look at the next-gen gameplay with the team at Visual Concepts.

Elite is a game that has expanded and evolved massively over the years, and whilst today's Elite Dangerous offering is far removed from the original which kicked it all off decades ago, the basic structure is still there. Now though Elite Dangerous is getting better still, with the Horizons expansion being stripped of the usual price tag to go free to all.

When Bandai Namco pushed out the Characters Pass 2 for Jump Force back in May, players were left knowing that at some point further down the line, the roster of characters found in the game would be expanding once more. That time has come with the introduction of two new fighters entering the field of play.

If the gaming scene was packed full of similar experiences, it would get extremely stale, extremely quickly. And so when we find something pop up on Xbox One and PS4 that threatens to tear up the rule book and attempt something different, our ears perk up. That is the case here today with the launch of Untold Stories.

Licenses sell games, and Konami know that which is probably why they have gone all out to secure as many deals as possible for their PES franchise. Today they are announcing a whole new partnership, one that will see their Italian arm expand with the introduction of Italy's Second Division - Lega Serie B.

Many years ago - and we mean MANY years ago - we spent what seems like a million hours playing North & South on our old Commodore Amiga. It was one of the defining games of the late 1980s and set us in good stead for the plethora of strategic action titles to roll out in future years. Now though North & South is back, with a remastered, reimagined version in The Bluecoats: North & South on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.

It's only been a month or so since WRC 9 hit the starting line on Xbox One, PS4 and PC via the Epic Games Store, but already the teams at NACON and KT Racing are pushing out further goodies. The best thing about them? They are free!

We're just a couple of weeks away from powering our dreams with the launch of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and in order to make the most of the new consoles, we need games.
