One of the latest to go down the Game Preview and Game Pass route is that of Lightyear Frontier, a game that takes farming sim elements but puts it into space.
The final week of the Horizon Race Off dawns in Forza Horizon 5, yet as we prepare to bid farewell, there is a last hoorah in the shape of the Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 32 Spring.
Evil Dead: Regeneration is fun and will appeal to fans of the franchise for sure. It’s pretty repetitive but gets all the elements right, down to Bruce Campbell returning to voice Ash. It still managed to retain the wicked sense of humour the series is renowned for.
Spellbreak is the rare battle royale that has completely captured my attention. It has a super enjoyable set of moves that make exploration and battle a treat each time you drop onto the field. I love what I have seen so far, and I cannot wait to see what Proletariat, Inc. will bring in the future.
It's been just a few days since TheXboxHub team got together for the their last podcast, but the guys are back in place for a pretty special show - TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 48 takes a look at the newly confirmed details, release date and prices of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Will it power your dreams? Well, you certainly won't want to miss this one.
HyperBrawl Tournament can best be described as a high adrenaline, 2v2 arena based sports brawler, one that has been inspired by games like the iconic Speedball, much loved NFL Blitz, modern day masterpiece Rocket League and the classic Rollerball film. But if truth be told, the initial idea came to Milky Tea Studios when they stumbled upon an absolutely nuts sport - the ancient Italian offering of Calcio. And once you bear witness to the 16th century brutality behind this combination of football and rugby, you fast begin to understand how HyperBrawl Tournament came to be.
There have been 27 FIFA games. 2-7. Sure, you could get all cynical and say there’s only been five or so different FIFA games, but let’s not get facetious. Now, did we really need every one of those 27? Couldn’t we have lost a ‘Road to World Cup 98’, say, and given another sport a chance? An EA Sports Kabaddi? Games companies, are you listening? Stick an Ultimate Team on these and you’re minted.
I've been lucky enough to play every mainline entry in the series and sink hundreds of hours into most. And while the franchise has had its ups and downs, there's always something magical about booting up a new GTA game. Each entry abandons poor ideas, learns from them and continually develops upon the good ones. In this list, we take a close look at each mainline Grand Theft Auto entry, find out what makes it good and rank them in order, from the worst to the best.
As soon as it dropped in 2018, Marvel’s Spider-Man became an instant classic. Rightly so; it was probably the most realistic recreation of the beloved superhero yet seen, but that’s not to say it was his definitive video game. Another notable outing, released for the Xbox 360 back in 2010, was Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions.
As TheXboxHub team count down the days until their 50th podcast episode, they get together to chat about the upcoming Season of Gaming, taking a look at the gaming releases due between September and the conclusion of 2020. And yep, the silly release season is pretty much upon us.
August 2020 has felt like a sparse month, at least in terms of easy Gamerscore. Many brilliant games have been released, but it seems as if the majority are lacking that easy first achievement to draw us hunters in. Fear not though, we still have your back so let’s jump straight in to some of the easiest and most simple Xbox achievements you could be grabbing from the Xbox One games released over the last month.
When it comes to gaming conferences, the overall approach has had to drastically change during the current pandemic. Nevertheless, the much anticipated Gamescom 2020 went ahead in a new format and kicked off proceedings with a two-hour live stream full of games, before following up with a whole load of daily content. In TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 46 we’ll go over the personal highlights, and some lowlights, of the four-day event. There are tons of games to discuss, so let’s dive straight in.
I have two very different and distinct memories of the launch of the third installment in Disney's popular toys-to-life franchise, Disney Infinity. Now, please treat this as your "rose-tinted glasses" warning, as I'm about to go for a wander down Memory Lane, back to a time when this was all fields!
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.
With the likes of the San Diego Comic-Con cancelled, DC conjured up their very own virtual event to promote a host of upcoming content. Hence, the recent DC FanDome extravaganza has treated us to all sorts of news and sneak peeks revolving around the DC Universe - or shall we say, Multiverse. So prepare for gaming, film and TV discussion in TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 45, for this is a DC FanDome special and it’s Bat-tastic!
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.
