As gamers we're used to seeing new titles arrive in remastered or rehashed form, as developers take much loved classics from yesteryear and bring them right up to date for a modern audience. That normally means going back a decade or two for the source material. Walden, a game on Xbox though goes further - way back to the original Henry David Thoreau book from 1854, before bringing it all into the virtual world.
Unfortunately, despite an intriguing proposition, The Strange Story of Brian Fisher: Chapter 1 fails to meet its ambitions at almost every turn. What results is a lacklustre experience for which I cannot recommend saving your pennies for.
It was in mid-2019 when Spiders Studio and Focus Home Interactive dropped the RPG epic GreedFall to Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Now though, some two years later, the brand new The de Vespe Conspiracy expansion adds to the game, whilst the Gold Edition ensures that players looking to embark on a new adventure can do so in the most definitive of ways.
Point-and-click adventures are meant to be fun, a little bit crazy, and ultimately utterly weird. Blame those from years gone by for setting the genre template but no matter what you say, it works. That's the case here and now with the release of Anna's Quest on Xbox - it's just this one is a little bit darker than normal.
Virtual anglers already have a host of options available to them. There's the likes of Ultimate Fishing Simulator, the brilliant offerings from Dovetail Games in the form of both Fishing Sim World and Euro Fishing, and there's even the chance to head to the Barents Sea for a catch or two. Today though those numerous fishing options expand with the arrival of Fishing: North Atlantic on Xbox - are you ready to take a voyage into the unknown?
In recent weeks Xbox gamers have had the chance to grab some brilliant games at heavily discounted prices - games like A Plague Tale: Innocence, Sunset Overdrive and even Neon Abyss - all thanks to the Xbox Deals With Gold Sale. But here we are with another week ahead of us and once more that same sale is busy providing even more Xbox 360, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S titles at bargain basement prices. The question that remains though is a simple one - what games will you be picking up from the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale running between 29th June - 5th July 2021?
There's massive excitement for the upcoming launch of F1 2021 from Codemasters, not only as it'll be interesting to see how they build on the already brilliant F1 2020, but will confirm whether or not EA have managed to start flexing their muscles after acquiring the racing specialists. Much of that excitement revolves around the arrival of the Braking Point story experience though, and it's with that where the latest F1 2021 details are focused.
Curved Space has been delayed and pushed back more times than we care to remember, but finally Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC players are getting the chance to jump into the warped, physics-defying battlefields that plays host to its action. If you're looking to blast away some space-spiders, this is the game for you.
It's been a whole three weeks since Milestone Studios last delivered a free Bonus Pack to RIDE 4 racers, allowing their playerbase to expand their bike and event roster for no extra cost. If we're honest, we thought perhaps that after 10 packs, the slew of free content had begun to dry up. But no and right now the RIDE 4 - Bonus Pack 11 is available for download.
