5 Best Soundtracks for Audiophiles on Xbox One

Can anyone even imagine one of the older Resident Evil titles without the relaxing save room theme? Or an early Silent hill title without Akira Yamaoka's disturbingly grating guitar tunes? With that in mind, we compiled a list of 5 best soundtracks for your listening pleasure.

What the Next Fable Needs

Whether Playground brings back Fable or another studio does, instead of just drooling over the idea of Fable, let's take the time to go mad with speculation and talk about everything we want from the next entry in the franchise.

Dry Drowning Preview – The tormented and the troubled

From the moment Dry Drowning was announced for a release on Xbox One in 2020, my inner investigator simply had to find out more about it. Waiting until 2020 seemed my only option, although I’d kill for the chance to check it out sooner. Fortunately, I’ve had the chance to sink a few hours into Dry Drowning on PC and, thankfully, no one has to die.

Forza and Gears dominate but are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for August 2019 really any good?

What if I were to tell you that the next batch of free Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles coming our way thanks to the Games With Gold scheme for August 2019 may just be the best we've seen yet?

Hands-on with Doom Eternal at QuakeCon

I was lucky enough to attend, and got to spend some quality time with Doom Eternal, id Software’s much anticipated sequel to the excellent 2016 release Doom. The demo was pretty generous and set around, and on, a besieged Mars and nearby space station.

Looking back to 2009 and The King of Fighters XII

SNK would then move on to the Atomiswave arcade board for a short while before making the jump to Taito’s then revolutionary Type X-2 Hardware, and it was on this platform where SNK were able to truly reinvent their graphics and art style in The King of Fighters XII. This reboot of sorts was joined by the likes of BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger and even Street Fighter IV on the very same arcade platform.

The Best Kart Racers of All-Time

With recent releases such as Team Sonic Racing and Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, now seems like the best time to count down our favourite kart racers, from the leftfield choices, to a definitive top three few would argue against. So, without further ado, let’s jump straight into it.

Exclusive Interview with GRID’s Game Director: Chris Smith

I approached the entrance to Codemasters’ HQ with trepidation and excitement in equal measures. It was my first experience of such an event, and was immediately put an ease by how friendly everyone was. This was especially true of GRID’s Director, Chris Smith, who was bursting with passion for his latest project. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to put some questions to him…

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!

The Future of Crash Bandicoot

Nitro Fuelled may be less than a month old, but let’s look beyond that and to the future by considering what the next Crash project should be. One option is another remaster.

Carnage Tower Preview – Get to the elevator!

So, what is Carnage Tower? Well first of all it’s worth noting that it’s a work in progress, that much is made clear from the initial load up screen, but nevertheless the goal is simple. Carnage Tower consists of 100 floors from bottom to top, each one randomly generated.

Hands-on with Infected Shelter in Early Access

For those of you yet to hear of Infected Shelter, it’s a side-scrolling roguelike brawler that’s currently available in Early Access on Steam and is slated for an Xbox One release later this year. Players will select from the unlikely survivors and head out into the randomly generated and bandit littered/zombie infected remains of humanity, collecting blueprints and pulling off crazy skills and combos along the way.

Looking back to 2004 and Sudeki

Something that you don’t see that much off in today’s gaming release schedule is a new Western third-person action-RPG with the colourful charisma of Sudeki.

Hands-on with Mable & The Wood in Early Access

Running a tried and tested formula is usually a safe bet provided you can add a little flare and excitement to things. After spending a little time with Mable & The Wood, I still can’t decide if it’s there or not. But I do know this – there’s a uniqueness about it all!

In our review of Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid on Xbox One we praised the fighting aspect of the beat ‘em up but were more critical of the lack of content in the game. With the Season Pass bringing out a couple of new characters, we take a look now at whether this is worth it?
