Before The Super Mario Bros. Movie came out, we would have spat out our coffee at the prospect of a Nintendo Cinematic Universe. Now, we’ve got a head full of ideas for Metroid and Legend of Zelda movies.
The lack of songs, and the slight safety in terms of their choice means that Let’s Sing 2023 - Eurovision Hits Song Pack doesn’t quite get douze points, but it did have us wishing that we had a backless sequin dress and a revolving stage.
If you're a Game Pass player then there will be a high chance you've taken in the Dungeons & Dragons affairs found in Solasta: Crown of the Magister. If not, the arrival of the new Palace of Ice expansion should see you drop in.
It goes without saying that if you liked the original Vampire Survivors (and pretty much everyone who has played it probably does), then grabbing Tides of the Foscari is a complete no-brainer. If you haven’t tried it yet, jump in without fail.
Showcase season has officially begun as Sony held their PlayStation Showcase this week, so it’s time for us to delve into everything we saw. Tune in to TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 164 to find out what games stood out, which would make our team instantly fire up the PS5, and whether the latest batch of VR titles will see hardware sales skyrocket.
We’ve been hands-on with Tour de France 2023 on Steam, as well as the less exciting (for us) Pro Cycling Manager 2023 and whilst our full review will come around closer to the June 8th 2023 release, we’ve seen enough here to be able to provide a little insight.
Have you played Angry Birds with yoga instructors? Or experienced a fishing minigame where there are men on the end of the line? Thanks to SUPER 56, you might get the chance.
Now that Spring has sprung in Series 20 of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges, the series of High Performance in Forza Horizon 5 is about to draw to a close. Hopefully, we should have some fun times ahead of us in the Hot Season in Mexico.
Indications are positive. Our time with Go-Go Town! was slight and short, but there were enough surprises in the city-building to reassure us that it would be just as charming as Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles and Grow: Song of the Evertree.
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. That’s enough for some questions to start bubbling up. Rather than suppress them, we brought them in a horse-pulled cart to Haemimont Games, makers of Stranded: Alien Dawn, to see what they had to say.
Fusing RPG goodness with monster collecting, there's immediately much to love about Cassette Beasts. Throw in the fact it is now on Xbox, Game Pass, PC and Switch and the interest levels rise higher.
With the original Railway Empire releasing back in 2018, we’ve been waiting a long time for its sequel. But, good news as the wait is over and Railway Empire 2 has chugged into a number of platforms (see what we did there?).
Honestly, the new additions to Game Pass have been pretty slow in recent weeks, with just a smattering of one-off games coming to the service. That changes today as a triple treat of gaming treasures turn up on Game Pass for Xbox and PC.
For us, the big news to come out of the recent Humble Games showcase is the immediate arrival of a shadow dropping Game Pass game. But there's more to enjoy too.
There are many companies like MegaModz offering gamers the chance to create their own controller in their own unique style. But we're not sure we've ever found the chance to do so with such ease - and yes, we've used Microsoft's brilliant Xbox Design Lab.

Not everyone is going to willingly invite the pressure and multitasking of Sweet Bakery Tycoon. But for those that do, this is a surprisingly intuitive, delicious-looking little time-management sim. In terms of portion size, though, it’s too big
Fundamentally flawed, Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator will struggle to hold your attention - it is frustrating rather than entertaining, no matter how many of you are playing at once.
If you’re a fan of the sim world, where you need to be involved in every decision, micro-managing every detail in every department, then you will have an amazing time with SimAirport. But should you be coming along for your first experience of the genre, this is perhaps not the best game to start with.
Romancelvania’s dating sim half is frivolous fun, but its other half, the Metroidvania, drunkenly crashes the party. It ungracefully stumbles about, throwing up on the couch. We certainly know which of the two halves we’d choose to evict, come voting time.
A supremely well told tale that comes complete with brilliant visuals and an orchestral soundscape to die for, Planet of Lana is a hugely immersive adventure you need to play.

We sat down with 10:10 Games' co-founder and Design Director, Arthur Parsons, in hope of finding out more about Funko Fusion, what it takes to create a new Pop! culture and how the franchise will look to embed itself into the gaming world.
Grindstone is a bloody fantastic (in all senses) puzzle game, where you take the role of Jorj, a dungeon raider and grindstone gatherer, as he chains together similarly coloured ‘creeps’. We had to hold in all that gushing praise, for a moment, when we were offered the chance to interview Dan Vader, director of Grindstone at Capybara Games. Nobody likes a suck-up.
You might have noticed that Medieval Dynasty has just arrived for Xbox One players. We took it as an opportunity to tap up Render Cube to see if they fancied sitting round our campfire for a chat about bringing their game to an older generation of consoles. We ate a spit-roasted pig with an apple in the mouth, obviously.
It was obvious that the arrival of Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly would be of interest. We reached out to the team at Toge Productions in hope of finding out more in advance of release of the sequel. Junki, their lead writer and narrative designer was more than happy to chat.
It’s been a banner year for survival horror. One company who is rather happy about this is Camel 101. Their next game is Beneath, which dunks you in the Atlantic Ocean and expects you to survive against Eldritch horrors. We settled down for a chat with Ricardo Cesteiro, the co-founder of Camel 101, so that we could discuss their upcoming chiller.

'Critically acclaimed on PC' usually equates to a console release occurring at some point in time. That's the case for Teardown as it is unveiled for Xbox and PlayStation.

One of the biggest game releases of 2023 so far is now with us, so we go breaking down the launch of Redfall on Game Pass in Episode 163 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast.
