December tends to be the month when that final triple-A title lands on the shelves, and the rest of the gaming schedule makes way. People have already made their present decisions for the year, and backlogs are stacked nicely for the winter. It’s not a month that’s traditionally full of games - particularly headliners - so December 2020 is going to be no different, right? Right?
As the dust settles, following the chaotic releases of Xbox Series X|S and PS5, TheXboxHub team return for an episode filled with more gaming discussion, news and general chat. The topics are so diverse that you can expect TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 59 to cover everything from NBA 2K21 and gambling games, through to turkeys and K-pop. Given that it’s Thanksgiving, we managed to squeeze a quiz in too!
Not every video game has to be perfect or original to be a winner; some can succeed simply by being well-made and straightforwardly enjoyable. Tron: Evolution is one such game.
When Versus Evil and Run Wild Entertainment dropped a gameplay trailer with added developer commentary for their ambitious RPG, Almighty: Kill Your Gods, back in June 2020, we just knew we had to find out more about the game. Some months on, we were given the chance to sit down with the Creative Director behind the game, filling in some details and finding out why this project should be one that appeals to Xbox gamers. Darran Thomas was more than happy to fill us in on how we'll be hunting, providing and protecting...
Old school-style World War shooters have made a bit of a comeback in the past few years. From the triple-A indulging of the Battlefield franchise to the indie scene producing authentic titles like Tannenberg - there’s a lot on offer. Enlisted attempts to make its way into that collection, but is it worth signing up to?
At a glance, you’d assume Geometry Wars had been around for decades, originating in the arcades alongside classics such as Space Invaders and Pac-Man. It had that classic formula, looking and feeling like a retro staple of the gaming world.
There is no better time than now to get into the Yakuza series on Xbox. Yakuza: Like a Dragon has a new main protagonist in Ichiban Kasuga, a new city to run around, and plenty of new activities to partake in! Sure, there are still the usual karaoke, arcade games and Mahjong parlors, but which new activities are our picks to sink your time into?
EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores.
With the Xbox Series X|S consoles getting their chance to shine last week, it’s only fair to turn our attention to the other powerhouse of next-gen, the PlayStation 5. This is TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 58 (It’s definitely number 58, despite what the host may say) and the PlayStation 5 steps into the limelight for a full analysis. Prepare to embrace hardware talk, plenty of games, and even a reflection on the launch in our latest episode.
Deadpool the game was only ever meant to be throwaway - a taco in game form - and Deadpool wouldn’t have wanted to enter the milieu of an important game. He would have hated that more than anything.
Through exhaustive market research (some would say none, but we vigorously dispute that), we can officially present you with 10 LEGO games that would rake in the cash. Since licencing and demographics are a thing, we’ve neatly broken them up for you: 5 games that could, feasibly be made, and 5 that probably, definitely, won’t. Take your pick!

Imagine being charged with following up New Vegas, on a new generation of hardware, knowing that you'd have to smash it out of the park to even be considered worthwhile. I can't begin to imagine the stress that must have piled up on the shoulders of Todd Howard, the game director for Fallout 4, when he was handed the job of making the game. Would he fumble it? Would it be as broken and buggy as New Vegas was at launch? Well, let’s take a trip down Fallout Memory Lane and see, shall we?
Lara has come an awful long way since appearing on Lucozade bottles and having her cleavage compared for realism across the early years (yes, this was a regular magazine feature back in the day). Rise of the Tomb Raider charted her coming of age, growing from a nervous explorer into a one woman, artifact hunting, mercenary killing machine. And we loved it.
