How long has it been since we last has the chance to really feel the force of the Alien universe? Well, that would be way back in 2014 with the launch of Alien: Isolation. But fear not - or fear lots - for Aliens: Fireteam is on the way.

Blending together deck-building elements, tycoon tests and an adventure that takes us across the United States, when Klabater first announced The Amazing American Circus for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC, our ears pricked up. Just as Klabater went live with a Kickstarter campaign, we were given the opportunity to find out more about the game, and why gamers would want to embark on a circus-filled life. Adam Betley, Narrative Designer at Klabater, was more than happy to roll up and answer our questions.

Without power, racing is nothing. But it's not just all about going fast in a straight line as there's a ton of joy to be found in some drifting machines, pushing out the power and running sideways to the action. That's the main focus of the latest Project CARS 3 DLC too, as the Power Pack brings some super iconic Japanese rides to the party.

Whether it be free content or paid content, the Milestone Studios team have continued to push the envelope with RIDE 4. And there seems like there will be no stopping them for the foreseeable future either as the free Bonus Pack 05 becomes available.

Having brought together years of design experience, and having understood what is required of a decent input device, the Xbox Wireless controller has evolved into the superb piece of equipment it is today. But what if you want something different? What if you feel there is room for improvement? What if you want power for Dolby Atmos for Headphones? That is where NACON are coming in with their new Designed for Xbox Pro Compact Controller for Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

2021 is flying by and with March now in place, and a couple of new free Xbox games being granted via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme, it's a good old time to be an Xbox gamer. But there's another reason to be excited too - the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 2nd-8th March 2021 is now in place, with access being given to a whole ton of great Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox 360 titles are heavily discounted prices.

Even though Monster Jam Steel Titans 2 on Xbox looks to seriously build on what its predecessor delivered, there are a few elements which hold it back from really providing the goods. The camera is god awful, the picky track limits system is a pain, and there are only so many times you can go flying through the air pulling off stunts before the whole thing gets boring. The open world has some serious promise, especially with the multitude of secrets that are hidden within, but a bit more shiny wax needs to be applied for this monster truck to start to gleam.

It's like it was planned but just as we see Warface: Breakout turn into a freebie through the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for March 2021, a new premium DLC pack rolls out with it. Fancy getting access to the Elite Forces Cosmetic DLC?

It feels like it released a lot longer ago than in 2020, but when The Dark Pictures Anthology continued on its way with the launch of Little Hope back in November, it gave players the opportunity to embrace a whole new tale, one full of mystery and intrigue. Now though with the addition of the free Curator's Cut, Little Hope provides even more playable scenes, with all new perspectives on offer.

It's been nearly two years since Monster Jam Steel Titans first rolled out onto console. But now Rainbow Studios, Feld Entertainment and THQ Nordic are back with a sequel, one that promises more worlds, more trucks, more monsters and more jam.

You can forget about the latest entries into the Battle Royale scene, for many it is PUBG that is still king. And the team at PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds know it, constantly pushing out new ideas and features. And that makes it ripe for us to team up with the PUBG Corporation to run a little giveaway. It's free to enter - fancy trying to win?

We've had Jurassic World Evolution, we know that Dino Crisis is on the way back, and Second Extinction is kicking around in the background. But it seems like the dinosaur is the current love affair for many gaming devs, especially now that Dinos Reborn has been announced for console and PC.

Want crazy? Like proper crazy? You got it with Baobabs Mausoleum Grindhouse Edition.

There are times when you want to do nothing more than kick back and relax. And that is where the team at Flight School Studio look to come in with their chilled action adventure, Stonefly.

Even if it wasn't a decent enough way to pass some time, at least the arrival of FUSER has let those of us still living in the glory days of the 1990s the chance to come slightly more up-to-date with musical matters, mostly through the launch of a host of DLC. Every week seems to be a learning week too, with the latest FUSER drops not just highlighting a bit of Reggaeton, but more besides.
