Coming in alongside the behemoth that is Xbox Series X, is the smaller, more delicate, more petite Xbox Series S - a glorious looking, proper all-digital Xbox. And you know what, it’s pretty much the perfect console. For a second room. For now.
It’s been a mere month since we did a launch-piece on Team17’s The Survivalists, bemoaning the lack of ‘castaway on a desert island’ simulators on the Xbox One and Series X|S. We should have known that, as soon as we said it, another one would be peaking into view. Welcome to the Seeds of Resilience!
The darkness is consuming everything around you, even your tribe, but all hope is not lost as the fate of the island rests in your hands. Can you put an end to the evil and bring about peace in the action-packed Towaga Among Shadows out now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One?
The move to the next-generation of gaming with Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S may well have taken place, but that doesn't mean the old guard don't deserve a bit of the limelight. Charging over the hill for possibly one last hurrah is the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for December 2020, and once more we see four new games gearing up to be stripped of their price tags. And even though the power of Games With Gold has been diluted somewhat by the next-gen and the brilliant Xbox Game Pass, it's still one to keep an eye on - especially when the games being given away for free are so intriguing.
Always wanted to spend your time controlling a Celtic clan? in Gods Will Fall on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC and Google Stadia, you'll be doing just that.

If you’ve scoured the ‘New Games’ section of the Xbox Store, you might have spotted two unusual additions: Kung Fu Arcade and Room Escape. They’re both listed as £32.49, reduced immediately down to £1.69 and £0.89 respectively. That set off our spidey senses, as it’s quite the price reduction and an unusual approach to launching a new game on the Store, so we slapped down some pennies and gave them a go.
Send a mouse on a journey against the odds and you melt me to jelly: American Tail, The Secret of Nimh, Redwall… they all have a place in my ‘80s heart, and they were all mighty tearjerkers. Macrotis: A Mother’s Journey came out last month and tugged on the same tear duct, and now we have Micetopia. Be nice to us, mice.
Chess is often seen as a very serious, highly intellectual board game, and if that’s all you’re after, there are video games like Chess Ultra and Pure Chess to fulfil your needs. But if you require a more family-friendly experience, with fantastical characters to entice the kids in, then Brawl Chess - Gambit’s arrival on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch should grab your attention.
