Since the Dragon Ball Z anime series first debuted in Japan in 1989, no one could’ve predicted the sheer volume of gaming titles it’d spawn, across almost every console imaginable. And whilst I could choose any of them to delve deeper into, this week marks a special anniversary for one in particular – Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit. It’s been ten years since its release and so, you know the drill by now, let’s take a look back at how it fared.

Purple Tree and Klabater want to take fans back to the glorious period of football when two-footed tackles were applauded, stadium atmospheres were buzzing and Sensible World of Soccer was the next big thing, with their upcoming game, ’90s Football Stars!

MotoGP 18 isn’t the only bike racing game to arrive today, with HAMSTER Corp porting over the NEOGEO classic, Riding Hero, to enable you to prove your worth on two wheels as a street racer.

Little Clementine is all grown up now and the final chapter of her emotional journey has just been officially dated. We bet you’re dead excited to find out more about Telltale Games’ last hurrah in the post-apocalyptic, walker-infested world!

The sky’s the limit for the open-world action/adventure RPG Wild Mage: Phantom Twilight as after a tremendous campaign by developers Luna Orion, it’s been successfully funded and you can expect it to release on your platform of choice at some point, yet to be defined.

Today, 2K have announced that the upcoming 20th Anniversary Edition of NBA 2K19 will feature none other than ‘The L-Train’, LeBron James, on its cover. They’ve also detailed what’s actually going to be a part of this special edition of the game.

When a huge free update turns up and completely overhauls certain aspects of a game, you have to take notice, which is exactly what you should do for Update 2.0 out now for Starpoint Gemini Warlords on Xbox One.

Project CARS 2 has some fresh DLC to bolster the simulation experience with a mixture of both historic and modern content, including a new track. It’s off to Le Mans we go!

DONTNOD Entertainment’s narrative-driven action-RPG Vampyr has arrived, throwing you into the shoes of a newly turned vampire with moral dilemmas and a bloodlust that must be quenched. Can you resist a taste of this new release?

Looking for a tough third-person stealth experience? Then the latest title to arrive on the Xbox One, Aragami: Shadow Edition may just fill that void, and it’s out right now!

The dinosaurs are ready to rule the world of Rocket League as Psyonix have collaborated with Universal to bring a selection of new items into the fray to prepare us for the upcoming release of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom at the cinema.

Konami aren’t messing about when it comes to acquiring new licensing deals for their next instalment of the PES series, PES 2019, and their latest venture sees them partnering with the second best team currently in the Bundesliga, Schalke 04!

E3 is almost upon us to create excitement for future games, but for the time being, we’ll have to make do with the selection of new releases arriving in the next seven days. It’s quite a varied offering, featuring the likes of vampires, bike racing and a legendary basketball player beating people up, so without further ado, let’s see what’s ‘In Stores This Week’ for Xbox One.

Upon finishing the very first outing in the hidden object point and click Grim Legends adventure series, The Forsaken Bride, I was impressed by the variety of the mini-games and way the developers, Artifex Mundi captured the look and feel of a fairytale world. Then things took as slight dip with a fairly bland setting, accompanied by god awful voice acting, in Song of the Dark Swan. Now, the Grim Legends trilogy reaches its climax with The Dark City arriving on Xbox One, but does it deliver a delightfully dark story to remember, or should Artifex have put an end to the series already?

The pinball genre on Xbox One is all but sewn up by Zen Studios’ arsenal of licensed tables featuring huge franchises from the world of TV, film and gaming. It’s nice to have a change though occasionally, and when developers Shine Research emerged onto the market with Zombie Pinball, with a cracking price point and a promise of ‘super addictive gameplay’, I figured it’d be a welcome breath of fresh air. Is it as addictive as one could hope for? Can I barely tear myself away from it to eat and drink?
