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.
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.
The smart money may well be on Call of Duty: Warzone eventually taking the Battle Royale crown, but for the time being it’s still the old dogs who are pulling out all the tricks. And with Season 6 of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, once more we find the game going from strength to strength.
I never thought I would play Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. This is a game which originally released first on a PlayStation handheld console - the PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2011 to be precise - as a Japanese exclusive. In fact, I surprised myself when I bought and played it
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe marked the franchise’s first release away from the Nintendo family of consoles, combining all the content of the first two games alongside some new and exclusive stuff. Not only were there a mountain of single player levels to play through, but the game also boasted an impressive collection of multiplayer party games for the seemingly forgotten times when you would get your mates over for some proper local competitive gaming.
Episode 22 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast is here as the team chat about the uncertainly that the coronavirus has brought not just to the gaming scene, but the world in general.
Let’s get something straight; Final Fantasy XIII may be one of the most divisive of all the Final Fantasy’s. But for those looking forward to reading a ‘Looking Back…’ piece that rips it apart, I’ve got some bad news for you: I’m a massive fan of Final Fantasy XIII, and for what it’s worth, the sequels as well.
One of the biggest criticisms during the lifecycle of the Xbox One was its lack of exclusive games. But over the past couple of years Microsoft has become quite transparent in their plans to focus on their Xbox Play Anywhere initiative instead of focusing on exclusives. Ori and the Blind Forest is possibly one of the best examples of the direction that Microsoft is heading.
Not one to miss out, Microsoft Game Studios got in on the act and published their very own singing game, Lips. And whilst that in itself is a cracking game, it spawned a follow-up which almost always guaranteed a good night was to be had. Yes, I’m here to wax lyrical about the party-starter that is Lips: Party Classics.

In my mind, the only thing better than sniping Nazi heads off is sniping zombie heads off. So a game like Zombie Army Trilogy that lets you combine the two? Amazing!
Spring has sprung and a new frontier has emerged with many games you’ll definitely remember come the end of the year. But while looking forward is great, it's equally as good to occasionally look back. Here are 5 games that you certainly should remember, games that will remind you of why March is such an awesome month to be an Xbox player.
There are a few games in most people’s gaming history that can be pointed at as turning points, or at least as significant in some way. For instance, for myself it was a game called Combat on the Atari 2600 - a title that got me into gaming in a big way, followed by Street Fighter 2 in the arcades, then Goldeneye. The biggest, most significant game of my own Xbox 360 era though is without doubt Battlefield: Bad Company 2. So come with me on a trip back in time while I attempt to explain why it meant so much then, and still continues to be important even today.
Join Gareth (the host), James, and Richard for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 20 as they discuss a wide range of topics from the gaming world and beyond. In this episode, there’s talk of the Xbox Series X, some of their favourite soundtracks from games, an exclusive interview about Deliver Us The Moon, and much more.
Star Wars games have been an important part of Star Wars history, and video game history for that matter. Games like Knights of the Old Republic I and II hold a special place in the hearts of both Star Wars fans and those who love the Original Xbox. So it gives me great pleasure to talk about one of my favourite Star Wars games of all time, and one of the best Original Xbox games of all time – Star Wars Republic Commando.
Resident Evil Revelations 2 was a fascinating experiment with the episodic structure of games that was popular at the time. This worked to its advantage and tantalising ‘next time’ snippets sparked a community of players to carefully dissect and digest each episode’s contents for a hint at where the journey was taking them.
Immortal Realms: Vampire Wars on Xbox One is shaping up to be an immersive and engaging experience, especially for those interested in vampiric myth and legend.
