A PlayStation fan for most of his childhood, once he picked up an Xbox with Panzer Dragoon Orta he never looked back.
Tamarin on Xbox is a game that does not know what it wants to be, one capable of completely blindsiding player expectations. It’s simply a weird game, perhaps one of the weirdest in the platformer genre. Still, the real disappointment is just how boring and bare the third person shooting action is, with no real sense of rewarding level design or progression.
Alchemic Cutie on Xbox is an interesting but tough sell. It no doubt has its charms and strengths, and yet its distinguishing ideas lack real substance in execution; the experience as a whole can feel pointless for a genre that is known to champion a pointless slice of life loop in the first place.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a solid and enjoyable remake of a Harvest Moon classic. Yet while you get to enjoy a classic experience intact, it also feels incredibly dated given the other options available on Xbox today.
Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy- Definitive Edition on Xbox is an overpriced and poorly produced release which does absolutely no favours to the classic games it attempts to celebrate. The experience here is far from definitive, and aside from the sheer laziness in the graphical remastering and performance, it introduces a whole slew of performance issues.
Sometimes a video game has all the right ingredients but simply belongs to the wrong genre, and such was the case with Brütal Legend, a game which was almost the perfect action adventure title had it not resorted to pad out its design in the most counter-intuitive way possible.
There are not many adventures on Xbox which resemble The Legend of Zelda, and so A Knight’s Quest might be a fun little alternative for Xbox gamers who are after that style of adventure. For most gamers however, this is an average clone at best, which despite some good intentions simply underwhelms in execution.
If you’re ready to get on with the times and embrace change, then Contra: Rogue Corps will provide entertainment with its own unique interpretation of the Contra spirit.
The recent release of Gaijin Charenji 1: Kiss or Kill on Xbox One has been an intriguing one. Currently exclusive to Xbox One, it provides a strange experience; one that is both quirky, original, and manages to revive an old Dreamcast title. We wanted to know more about how Gaijin Charengi 1 came about, so reached out to Youenn Thirion of overGame Studio to find out more.
In 2019 a game rising from the ashes of SEGA’s past has landed on Xbox One in what is perhaps the most experimental exclusive the system has ever scored. This game is the kind of adventurous Japanese-style video game one would never dream of seeing on Xbox in this day and age. This game is Gaijin Charenji 1: Kiss or Kill, the debut release by freshly minted developer, overGame Studio.
Xbox has done a lot to entertain gamers all over the globe, but what have they contributed to curing the ever growing epidemic of poor hygiene and stopping the outbreak of bodily odours? What will become of our society if Xbox gamers don’t look and smell their best.
Much like how WayForward rebooted and reimagined the seminal Double Dragon franchise with the ‘80s nostalgia-powered Double Dragon Neon in 2012, in 2019 they have outdone themselves with the Japanese pop culture spectacle in River City Girls.
VASARA Collection brings together the original VASARA and VASARA 2 in one place with a few noteworthy extras to boot, particularly VASARA Timeless which is practically a brand-new game.
Mighty Switch Force! Collection provides WayForward’s most exemplar IP all in one place, and while it might be missing an iOS spin-off or two, the main titles are intact.
What should have occurred in 2005 has now finally been righted in 2019, as this title once left in Japan has now been born anew as Metal Wolf Chaos XD, fully updated and optimised for Xbox One (not to mention One X ready). Xbox’s best kept secret has finally found the worldwide audience it always deserved.
It’s easy to make fun of fighting game revisions/expansions, but there’s no denying each entry bolstered the fighting roster and gameplay substantially, particularly with the swansong entry Ultra Street Fighter IV.
In this article, I’ll attempt to suggest cars and tunes for you try out, all as you look to complete the Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 33 Autumn, in the hope of getting our hands on some exclusive cars.
Inescapable: No Rules, No Rescue isn’t a bad game, it’s just that others of a similar ilk, like Danganronpa, do the social thriller visual novel concept much better.
