An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.

FUSER Review

If you have money to burn, are missing the party scene or just want to attempt to head off on a mixing career for nothing but personal entertainment, FUSER on Xbox One nails what is required. The control scheme has been well handled, the visuals are bright and colourful, and the plethora of tunes included will hit the spot for many.

SteelSeries Arctis 7X Wireless for Xbox Review

The Arctis 7X for Xbox has been extremely impressive. It’s taken what I already loved in the Arctis 1 and just upped things enough to warrant the increase in price. It’s extremely comfortable to wear, delivers a sound quality to die for and provides super clear chat via the Discord-certified mic. Throw in the versatility found via that USB-C'd wireless dongle and there’s not much more you could ask for from SteelSeries.

Bouncy Bob 2 leaps on to Xbox One and Series X|S

Being honest, we'd never heard of Bouncy Bob let alone know about a sequel, but one look at the premise, the trailer and the screenshots sold this as a console port of a mobile hit. We're always up for new gaming experiences though and if that means bouncing around an arena in the hope of taking down opponents, all whilst mixing in a bit of Fruit Ninja as we do so, we're up for it.

Back in May we heard that the team at Crunching Koalas were getting set to drop their manic monkey-themed space party on to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC at some point in 2020.
