Naturally enough a beta is only a short snippet of the full game but the recent Marvel’s Avengers Beta on Xbox One came across as rather impressive, boasting decent visuals and exciting set pieces. Not everything is so smooth though with (understandable) glitches and some annoyances. But the big worry and the takeaway we need to talk about is found in the fundamental gameplay.
It doesn’t happen all too often, but when a game strikes a chord with the players in such a way, there’s an unwritten rule. That is, it qualifies for a second crack of the whip. Admittedly, over the last few years it’s become more common, but it’s rarely a bad thing. And that was the case with Dishonored and Dishonored Definitive Edition.
These then are my memories of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox One. I loved that the game didn't change, I loved that the action was as raw and bloody as always, and most of all I loved the way that the new HD visuals made it look like a genuinely ruined world.
It's been 10 years since the game's release on Xbox 360, so let's look back at the vibrant and the immensely enjoyable beat-em-up: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game.

The Tennis World Tour series is back, with a fresh new team behind it and the power of NACON and Big Ant Studios helping push development along. We recently had the opportunity to sit in to one of those new fangled virtual press presentations that have taken over the world in recent months, and on the face of it, Tennis World Tour 2 looks set to deliver an altogether more accomplished experience than its predecessor.
OkunoKA Madness on Xbox One is shaping up to be a very challenging game to keep an eye on, and with other modes promised in the full release like Time Attack and a promised "Madness" mode, there should be a lot of content to go at, in addition to the time-chasing fun of the main story mode.

I’ve gone back and forth on World of Tanks in the past: I certainly never got as involved in World of Tanks as some people do, but I’ve put my fair share of time into it and what I’ve always liked about it is there is no harm in revisiting it. It’s still free-to-play and whether or not you want to invest anything is a personal choice. So if you want to see what’s new for yourself, grab a few friends, boot it up, and play a few games. And don’t forget, it doesn’t matter which system you use anymore!

Like any true obsessive, the only way was to dedicate a week, playing hidden object games exclusively.
When Dovetail invited me to a press event showing off some gameplay from their new Train Sim World 2 that is coming to Xbox One, PS4 and PC on August 20th, I couldn’t say no.

Where Agony felt rather hollow in just about everything other than its art direction, Madmind has done a great job in incorporating more gameplay elements and rewriting some of their previous faults for Succubus.
