The news that Microsoft was to buy Bethesda made my wizened old gaming heart skip a beat. I have spent many years playing Bethesda titles, and the thought of all their new games being released on Xbox Game Pass on day one, or even having exclusivity to the Xbox brand, made me so excited I had to have a little lie down. You can keep Spiderman, Sony - I'd rather have a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, thanks very much.
DIRT 5 promises to quite easily be the best DIRT experience yet, with launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, Google Stadia and PC due this November. With many new features, new race types, vehicles and a killer soundtrack, there is much to be hyped about. But we wanted to know more and Robert Karp, the development director behind the game was more than willing to divulge more.
Pro Skater 1 was a good introduction to the world of skating to millions of gamers, but it was the second one that truly perfected the formula and created a masterpiece. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 took everything that made the original and turned it up to 11.
If you’re a fan of walking simulators, then the name probably sticks in the throat, but let’s ‘own it’ and chuck the best and mightiest of the genre into a bear pit and let them have at it! Hoo-rah! As with most genre lists, there’s some controversy about what does or doesn’t constitute a walking simulator.

Remothered: Broken Porcelain has set some very solid foundations. It is eerie, occasionally quite thorough thematically, and has some really good design decisions. Like porcelain, the end product has the opportunity to be pretty, thoughtful and beautiful, but taking it off the heat too early could damage the overall product.
It doesn’t seem long since the team were going over the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S pricing in the previous podcast, but now it’s Sony’s turn in the spotlight. The most recent PlayStation 5 Showcase finally informed everyone about the prices and release date, which is the focus of TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 49. That’s not all though, as plenty of games were also shown off throughout the event, ensuring there’s a lot to dissect. If you’re interested in the PS5, this will be well worth a listen.
There may be a whole host of battle royale options out there, but one of the very best is that which is provided via PUBG.

Evil Dead: Regeneration is fun and will appeal to fans of the franchise for sure. It’s pretty repetitive but gets all the elements right, down to Bruce Campbell returning to voice Ash. It still managed to retain the wicked sense of humour the series is renowned for.
Spellbreak is the rare battle royale that has completely captured my attention. It has a super enjoyable set of moves that make exploration and battle a treat each time you drop onto the field. I love what I have seen so far, and I cannot wait to see what Proletariat, Inc. will bring in the future.

HyperBrawl Tournament can best be described as a high adrenaline, 2v2 arena based sports brawler, one that has been inspired by games like the iconic Speedball, much loved NFL Blitz, modern day masterpiece Rocket League and the classic Rollerball film. But if truth be told, the initial idea came to Milky Tea Studios when they stumbled upon an absolutely nuts sport - the ancient Italian offering of Calcio. And once you bear witness to the 16th century brutality behind this combination of football and rugby, you fast begin to understand how HyperBrawl Tournament came to be.
