Episode 199 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast is up, live and ready for your listening. This time the guys chat over the best new games set to release on Xbox throughout May 2024.
In this article, I’ll attempt to suggest cars and tunes for you try out, all as you look to complete the Forza Horizon 5 Festival Playlist Weekly Challenges for Series 33 Autumn, in the hope of getting our hands on some exclusive cars.
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.
Some people don’t particularly like game soundtracks outside of when they are playing games. Some people think they’re fine and that they serve their purpose. Others, like me, love game soundtracks and listen to them ferociously. As this medium moves forward, the type of soundtrack required for our games has changed.
Trailmakers, a brick builder of sorts, is a game that has spent the best part of the last year on PC with many players appreciating it’s LEGO-esque creative opportunities. With a Game Preview version now available on Xbox One, I decided to jump in to see if we were looking at a simple clone/wishful thinker, or if Trailmakers has what it takes to set itself apart from the crowd.
Honouring 15 years of Manhunt on Xbox, we're going to look at what made the game so gruesome, as well as the numerous controversies surrounding it. And how in spite of backlash, it became another shining, bloody gem in Rockstar's vast catalogue of titles.
Besides the karts found in the likes of Project Cars, we’ve rarely seen anything that truly resembles the thrill and excitement of true kart racing. Maybe KartKraft can change all that though, and as the upcoming simulator gets into gear for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, for now it’s found hitting the apexes of Steam Early Access.
Borderlands, whichever game you play, isn't short of amusing NPCs to interact with. These can be mission givers, people you need to recruit to your team, or even just strangers wandering around in the settlements. Whoever they are though, they all have something to say.
And normally when they speak, it’s worth listening to. With so many people to choose from across the multiple games, it’s hard to narrow the field of best non-playable Borderlands characters down to just 5. But that’s what I'm going to attempt to do here - list my favourite NPCs in the Borderlands series.
I love Borderlands. Ever since I saw the first game’s trailer, I’ve been in love with its FPS gameplay, funny and bold character design, loot-progression systems, and scenic locations. All of these combined to create an experience which is addictive, funny as hell, and most importantly, fun.
Now with the seemingly inevitable Borderlands 3 FINALLY being officially revealed post-awesome-3D-model-trailer teaser, I can happily talk about what I/we want in this new Borderlands game.
We are gathered here today to look back on the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil video game tie-in some five years after it was released. Was it the best way to immerse ourselves in the samba style tournament, or did the on-field action end up eclipsing its gaming counterpart entirely?
Music within video games has the unique ability to tip off players with what’s going to happen next and is by far the most effective way of setting the mood. But right now it’s time to hit pause, and look back at five of the most influential game soundtracks ever to grace the Xbox family, and why they resonate with players so much.
This week brought more talk of game development and working conditions for developers, as a story broke that Bioware suffered from poor leadership and unfair expectations for its team during the development of Anthem.
Depending who you ask, you may well get a completely different answer on the personal thoughts of Titanfall, but not because it wasn’t an incredible game – that it most definitely was!
If you want a cheap and cheerful headset that allows you the opportunity to immerse yourself into both the online world, and the reality that surrounds you in everyday life, then a single-ear cup design may well be the best way to go. And that is where the Venom Nighthawk Chat Gaming Headset for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC, comes in. Fancy taking in a first look and unboxing of the headset in question?
The first-person shooter genre is what started my love for video games. But something changed after the switch from 360 to the Xbox One. I would buy shooters and play them for a very short period, just to put them down and never pick them back up again.
