Stock Up with DOOM Eternal: Series 4 Cosmetic Pack

Sonic Colors: Ultimate Review

A remaster of any already existing game may not have been the first choice, but Sonic Colors: Ultimate on Xbox is still a solid entry. Fans that played the original on the Nintendo Wii may not find anything to warrant another purchase here, as the work gone into the remaster comes across as a little rushed in places. Gameplay wise however, Sonic Colors: Ultimate is up there with the best 3D Sonic entries.

Surgeon Simulator 2 Review

Surgeon Simulator 2 on Xbox has a few things going against it which will unfortunately put a lot of people off. Things such as a buggy launch and a high degree of difficulty for a starting point hinder it somewhat. If you can get over these stumbling blocks, there is a fair amount of variation in here.

World Soccer Strikers ’91 Review

The spirit of 1991 is indeed alive in World Soccer Strikers ’91 on Xbox; a time where football wasn’t about the money, instead more about the actual football. It is a no frills approach to the beautiful game with a fast, simple arcade kickabout. It’s fun for a few sessions with friends, and that’s about it.

Sonic Colors: Ultimate Goes Interstellar

Sonic the Hedgehog’s 30th anniversary celebrations continue with the release of Sonic Colors: Ultimate. Regarded by many as one of the blue hedgehog's best 3D entries, the remaster sees the previously Nintendo DS/Wii exclusive release on Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation.

Take a Trip Back to a Dystopian Earth in Golf Club Nostalgia

This once home of all civilisation is now a playground for the elite, and now you have the opportunity to play it for yourself as Golf Club Nostalgia launches on Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Golf Club Nostalgia Review

Fans of golf games are unlikely to be blown away by the golf side of Golf Club Nostalgia on Xbox but they should enjoy the story on offer. Likewise, narrative fans will hugely enjoy the tale that unfolds, but won’t necessarily find anything to tempt them to try other golf games. How the story unfolds and how it is told requires you to piece it together, but the mature themes and ideas will make a lasting impression on anyone that completes it.

The easiest Achievements to pick-up from August’s Xbox games!

Remember when August was a quiet month for gaming? The summer holidays were a time to go outside, kick the football into your neighbours’ garden countless times and then you could get an ice cream for just 50p. Now though, August is as busy as all the other months; just this month we have had Psychonauts 2, Twelve Minutes, Hades and Lawn Mowing Simulator to name but a few. And with releases aplenty, you can expect some easy Gamerscore! Thankfully we are here to point you towards the easy achievements yet again for the games released on Xbox during the month of August.

King’s Bounty II Review

There is a unique charm to King’s Bounty II. It may be long, at times laborious and a bit rough around the edges, but it’s reminiscent of early 3D RPGs. And for that, it’s an enjoyable throwback.

Long-Awaited Sequel King’s Bounty II Arrives on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC

King’s Bounty II is the sequel that has been some 31 years in the making. But now it's here.

They’re Coming Out of the Walls in Aliens: Fireteam Elite

A Left 4 Dead style-game set in the Alien universe sounds like a match made in heaven, but as anyone will tell you, the Alien franchise has a very hit-and-miss past in videogame land. However, you can be the judge of the latest title, as Aliens: Fireteam Elite launches today on Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Madden NFL 22 Review

Almost every change in Madden NFL 22 this year is of a positive nature, and it is easily one of the best entries in recent years. Franchise mode is in great shape, and set to get better as the year progresses, and it almost feels like EA Sports are reminding themselves that not everyone wants to just play Ultimate Team. Some modes such as The Yard and Superstar KO still feel tacked on but at least offer a bite-size gameplay experience if time is limited.
