Another week, another drop of new Kairosoft games onto Xbox. This time it's all about the anime of The Manga Works and the splashing fun of Pool Slide Story.Â
We are so close to the new console generations of Xbox Series X we can almost taste it (please don’t lick your new Xboxes when they arrive). But just as one eye looks forward to the future, the other looks back on the generation just gone. And what better way than by looking back at our thoughts on the Xbox One’s Generational Game-Changers.
You knew about it, I knew about it, the dog even knew about it; the Mass Effect trilogy is getting a remaster and will be coming in Spring 2021 as the Mass Effect Legendary Edition.
Come with me down memory lane while I cast my mind back to a time when the world was a much shinier, much more hopeful place than the one we see today, with the elemental good times of Kameo: Elements of Power.
Back when the weather was warmer and the world was beginning to open up again, Fantasy General II released on Xbox One and PS4 to some rather decent acclaim. In fact, our own review of the game talked about the huge depth to the gameplay, and how it provided some of the very best RTS elements. Now though that depth has increased with the addition of two brand new gameplay chapters that include more of what originally made Fantasy General II so well loved.

We recently had the chance to jump behind the wheel of some Late Model Series vehicles in Tony Stewart's All-American Racing, but now it's all about the circuits. This time around it's Las Vegas that deserves the focus, with the Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
Our very own Criterion Studios know how to make a racing game. From the Burnout series to Need for Speed's finest titles in Most Wanted to Hot Pursuit, you can near-guarantee that you’ll feel the sheer power of the cars you’re driving, and barely keep a handle on them as you drift through some fantastic open worlds. Their first outing in the Need for Speed series was Hot Pursuit, way back in 2010, and the remaster-heavy 2020 feels like a fantastic time to wheel it back out and give it a reappraisal with Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is out today on Xbox One, PS4 and PC via Steam.
The connection between people is a common theme across many myths and cultures. Sometimes these are spiritual connections, other times they’re manifested. Red Rope: Don’t Fall Behind is a passion project from Francesca Zacchia that focuses on one in particular: the Chinese legend of the Red Thread of Fate. And rather than specify what this red thread represents, a lot of the interpretation is left to you. Red Rope: Don’t Fall Behind is launching today on Xbox One and joins a previous drop on PC.
As someone who’s forgotten what day it is, several times since the pandemic started, I can appreciate Memoranda. It’s a point-and-click game about people slowly forgetting things, helpless as their sanity, their loved ones, or their keys get lost in their long-term memory banks. And it’s out now on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Get your platforming thumbs out and sharpen your reflexes: you’re going to need them as Dead Dungeon is out now on Xbox One, joining previous releases on Switch and PC via Steam.
One of my worst cinema experiences was PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups. Bringing a one-year old to the cinema was my first mistake, but it also turned out to be a thirty minute PAW Patrol episode with episodes from other series - not even PAW Patrol - tacked onto the end. Shameless capitalism, if you ask me, but the kids loved it. Go figure. Whatever though, PAW Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay is out now on Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.
The folks at Momo-pi development studio have rocked up on Xbox One with their intriguing puzzle game Persephone, which delivers a concept that poses an interesting question: What if death in video games is not the end, but is in fact the actual key to solving the levels within? But where, how and when will you choose to die in order to progress? Now, that’s a real conundrum.
As one of the world’s most popular motorsports, Formula 1 games like F1 2020 are incredibly enticing for the fan base to get their racing fix. These simulation experiences can also be difficult to get to grips with though, and that’s why developers Lion Castle have conjured up Speed 3: Grand Prix. It’s an arcade-y version of the motorsport, which leans more towards the fun side and is more accessible for all to enjoy. So, let’s hit the circuit and uncover more about Speed 3: Grand Prix on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
