You may not have heard of Loretta, but dismiss the psychological thriller at your peril. In Episode 197 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast you'll get to hear about the game - and why it is very nearly perfect.
Pull on your wooly pulleys as it is Winter in Mexico, and in the world of Forza Horizon 5 we all know what that means, right? Yep, more weekly Festival Playlist Weekly Challenge shenanigans to keep us entertained and racing hard through Series 32 Winter!
Storm Season is rolling into Forza Horizon 5, and with it dawns a whole new week’s worth of Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges in Series 32 Autumn, mainly focusing on the racing
More like Rise of the Deckbuilder, right? Slay the Spire has opened the doors for games like Nowhere Prophet, Monster Train, Fights in Tight Spaces and Signs of the Sojourner, making it a cracking time to be a deckbuilding card game. But while we’re seeing plenty of pretenders to Spire’s throne, none are as thoroughly adorable as Rise of the Slime. We had the opportunity to interview Maris Bunkovskis, the brain that spawned the slime, and he had plenty to say about why you should make room for his game.
Can you believe that it’s already been six months since the Xbox Series X was released into the wild? Well, that’s just one of the subjects on the agenda for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 80, with our team sharing their thoughts so far. There’s also chatter about Resident Evil Village, Hood: Outlaws & Legends, Pokemon Snap, and much, much more within this episode. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy our latest musings.
I can’t quite believe it has been five years since DOOM, the reboot of the game widely regarded as the grandfather of the FPS, was released. Not since the excellent Doom 3 have we been treated to a full-blown, hellish, demon slaying adventure. But unlike Doom 3, the game shifted away from the survival horror and back to the run and gun spirit of the original.
I have to admit a sneaky like for the Pirates of the Caribbean films. So, imagine my joy when, way back in 2011, we heard that Traveller's Tales were developing a LEGO game based around the whole franchise.
It’s time for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 79, our weekly podcast that’s full of absolutely everything, but mostly gaming. In this episode, Returnal is just one of a handful of tough games on the agenda, alongside Super Meat Boy Forever and Pato Box. Meanwhile, the divisive Line of Duty finale is one of many talking points from the world of TV and film. Make sure you listen for the lowdown on all of that, and more!
Xbox Game Pass keeps delivering on great games, big news and incredible value month-after-month. April 2021 hasn’t been any different for the service. Several games debuted onto the service the day of their launch, some joined the service after a long wait and one re-joined the service after a long hiatus. But with so many games cycling in and out of Xbox Game Pass, it can be almost too much content to keep up with. That’s why we’ve compiled the service’s biggest highlights into one place. Here are the Xbox Game Pass’ April 2021 highlights:
I remember, way back in 2016, taking in Battleborn, coming away from the experience with a decent amount of enjoyment. As it’s now the fifth anniversary of the release of the game, I thought it would be fun to look back and see what memories I can dredge up from my time with the game. So come with me down memory lane and we’ll see how the MOBA stylings of Battleborn worked.
Can you believe it’s been five years since SUPERHOT landed on the Xbox One? It’s one of those ‘time goes fast’ things, which - of course - is the opposite of what SUPERHOT’s about. To mark the five year anniversary of the wonderful red and white bolt-from-the-blue that arrived in 2016, we thought we would suggest some spin-offs for the IP. SUPERHOT - you’re welcome.
There are still plenty of easy achievements available from the latest Xbox games and those new Xbox Game Pass additions that rocked in throughout April 2021. Let’s see what we’ve got.
Since Yakuza 0 launched on Xbox, there have been eight additional Yakuza releases in just over 12 months, and RGG Studio aren’t finished just yet. It can be a daunting prospect. But, having already spoken in depth about why each entry is a viable entry point into the series, it is time to produce a definitive Yakuza ranking list - 'worst' to best - for those that simply want to play the standout titles in this impeccable series.
Welcome to the latest instalment of our weekly podcast, featuring anything and everything from the world of gaming as well as various interesting topics outside of this realm. In TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 78, you’ll hear about a special film at the Oscars, what we think about EA’s FIFA Ultimate Team cash cow, and much more. There’s even discussion regarding Judgment, Before I Forget, Resident Evil 7 and other games, so don’t miss it!
If you’re looking for some collectibles to add to your gaming cave, then Numskull Designs should be one of your first ports of call. And of the ranges they have to offer, it’s probably the Halo and Xbox items that will most suit.
As decent as the Borderlands 3 Director’s Cut addition is on Xbox, my problem with all of it is that this could have easily been dropped out as a free update.
2011 was an absolute monster of a year. In any other year, you could have crowned Batman: Arkham City, Skyrim, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Dark Souls, Minecraft, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Bastion, Gears of War 3 or Dead Space 2 as the Game of the Year, and be confident that the gaming world would nod and say ‘yup, that’s the one’. But yet, we would like to make a case that the best game of 2011 isn’t even on that list. The best game of 2011 is my greatest game of all time. And that game is Portal 2.
