Fallout 4 Xbox Series X|S Review

Now was the right time to release the Fallout 4 Xbox Series X|S update. It just could have been more.

Dead Island 2: SoLA Review

It is likely that Dead Island 2: SoLA is the last major update for Dead Island 2.

Much like many of the opponents you will face, TRAIL OUT is rough, but ready to put up a fight.

TopSpin 2K25 is a welcome return for the franchise and a solid reboot.

Third Editions – BioShock: From Rapture to Columbia – Book Review

Off the back of BioShock Infinite celebrating its fifth anniversary and Third Editions completing their second successful Kickstarter, we can now take a look at another of their offerings, this one focusing on the BioShock trilogy.

Devil May Cry HD Collection Review

Another day and another ‘remaster’. This time it is Devil May Cry. Again. And again the Devil May Cry HD Collection is one fans are already familiar with, having released on the 360 back in 2012. Existing fans of the series will have likely picked this up before so it is with disappointment that this new release offers nothing new for existing fans... except some great gameplay.

Looking back at 5 years of… BioShock Infinite

BioShock Infinite celebrates its fifth birthday on the 26th March 2018, so we are looking back at one of the finest examples of story-telling in gaming. Regardless of whether or not you understood the ending first time around – I know I didn’t - it stands up as an excellent game. I’ve been really looking forward to this one.

Nine Parchments Review

Nine Parchments is the latest game from Finnish studio Frozenbyte, and having been first released on Steam and Nintendo Switch at the back end of last year, now finds its way onto the Xbox One.

Surviving Mars Review

Surviving Mars describes itself as a “hardcore survival city-builder, where players will be tasked with creating a liveable colony in the harsh, hostile environs of Mars”. The hardcore nature though comes about because it doesn’t offer any guidance until a mistake has been made, instead relying on you to actually figure out what is required yourself. Omitting information seems a cheap way to increase difficulty.

Looking back at 10 years of… Lost: Via Domus

Lost will forever hold a place in TV history. Regarded as one of the greatest shows of all-time, it boasted the most expensive pilot episode ever and had a main cast of 14 characters, which was unheard of at the time it first aired back in 2004 – and a year later on British shores.  It was bold and daring at the time and despite drawing to a conclusion nearly 8 years ago, nothing in my eyes has come close since. Naturally then, there were to be other forms of media for fans to engross themselves further in the mythology, and in 2008, at the height of the TV show's popularity, Lost: Via Domus was released on Xbox 360 on the 28th February in Europe.

Monster Hunter: World Review

It was when I was hunting a Great Jagras for a second time in Monster Hunter World that something just clicked. Despite it being an action-RPG that isn’t afraid to make things a bit trickier than other games out there, Monster Hunter World is an incredibly calming and satisfying game, and will easily be up there as one of the best games of 2018.

Looking back at 10 years of… Devil May Cry 4

Next up on TheXboxHub’s look back at games celebrating an anniversary is Devil May Cry 4. It may not be the most obvious place to start in the series, but as it was the first in the series to release on any Xbox platform, that is good enough for us.

The first big release of the year – Monster Hunter World – is now available on Xbox One and PS4

The Monster Hunter series is making its first foray onto current generation consoles, with MH: World becoming the first to be released simultaneously across the world. And today is the day in fact!

Looking back at 10 years of… Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise celebrates its 10th anniversary this week, and with rumours flying around relating to an Xbox One release, now feels like the perfect time to have a look back at a beloved franchise that holds a special place in many gamers' hearts, not least mine.

Winx Club: Alfea Butterflix Adventures Review

Heinous isn’t a word I typically use in writing a review, but for this game I would like to make an exception and open up on why Winx Club: Alfea Butterflix Adventure is a heinous game.

Romancing SaGa 2 Review

In Romancing SaGa 2 you play as the many Emperors and Empresses of Avalon, in a story that takes place over hundreds of years. Ultimately, you have the defeat the Seven Heroes, who were once the saviours of Avalon, before returning years later as a team of demons.

5 Xbox One games with big 2018 DLC release plans

We have already shown you our Top 5 games to be released in 2018, but what if none of those tickled your fancy and instead you are more interested in prolonging the games that you have already? Well here is an alternative Top 5 for you, just this time the games have already released but have some big plans for DLC in 2018!

Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis Review

Poor old Iggy was starting to feel a bit left out; the rest of the ‘Chocobro’s’ had all had their story DLC released and even the Multiplayer addition was out before it was his time in the spotlight. Thankfully he only needed to wait a few more weeks, and so did we, for the best piece of DLC for Final Fantasy XV to date.

Titan Comics’ Tekken Volume 1 TPB Review

Previously here at TheXboxHub we had reviewed issues #1 and #2 of the new Tekken ongoing series, but now the first volume TPB collecting issues #1 - #4 is available. The comics bridge the gap between Tekken 6 and Tekken 7, and the ongoing feud between the Mishima family.
