The Super Mario Bros. Movie – Film Review

Let’s Sing 2023 – Eurovision Hits Song Pack Review

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.

Vampire Survivors – Tides of the Foscari Review

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. 

Inscryption Review

Buy Inscryption, then pass it on. Keep the bloody chain going. Pay it forward.

GoldenEye 007 Review

GoldenEye 007 is perfect.

Persona 4 Golden Review

Persona 4 Golden is an absolute triumph; very much golden.

Hi-Fi RUSH Review

You should play Hi-Fi RUSH.

TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 164: PlayStation Showcase May 2023

0
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. 

Tour de France and Pro Cycling Manager – What are the big changes for the 2023 games?

0
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. 

We fished for naked men in one-button marathon SUPER 56, and soon it’s your turn

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. 

Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges Guide Series 20 – Spring

0
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.

Go-Go Town! teaches us that people are just noodle-hungry litter-bugs

0
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.

Exclusive Interview: castaway with the makers of Stranded: Alien Dawn

0
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.

Game Pass

Monsters, Transform! Cassette Beasts is on Xbox, Switch, PC and Game Pass

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. 

All aboard! Become a rail entrepreneur with Railway Empire 2

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?).

A triple treat of treasures comes to Game Pass

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. 

Game Pass gets a new addition with shadow-dropped Humble Games adventure

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.

Home Sheep Home: Farmageddon Party Edition Review

Dave Ozzy -
We think Home Sheep Home: Farmageddon Party Edition represents the best Aardman game we’ve played

Evil Wizard Review

Alister Kennedy -
Evil Wizard takes twisted humour and easy to learn mechanics to craft a Metroidvania, action-RPG that you should take the time to play.

Sweet Bakery Tycoon Review

Dave Ozzy -
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

LEGO 2K Drive Review

Richard Dobson -
Within the myriad of LEGO racing games, LEGO 2K Drive does just about enough to carve an identity for itself.

Revita Review

Ryan Taylor -
Revita is a game that is worth the investment. Once you get into it, you’ll find yourself sinking in the hours.

Filthy Animals: Heist Simulator Review

Darren Edwards -
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.

SimAirport Review

Gareth Brierley -
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 Review

Dave Ozzy -
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. 

Planet of Lana Review

Neil Watton -
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.

Creating a new Pop! culture – 10:10 Games talk Funko Fusion

James Birks - 1
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.

Exclusive interview: we put Capybara Games’ nose to the Grindstone

Dave Ozzy - 0
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.

A chat around the fire with Medieval Dynasty makers, Render Cube

Dave Ozzy - 0
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.

Settling down for an exclusive interview with Coffee Talk Episode 2’s lead writer and narrative designer

Richard Dobson - 0
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.

An exclusive interview with Beneath developers and horror maestros, Camel 101

Dave Ozzy - 0
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.
