TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 229

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, it’s not yet time for another visit from the bearded present giver, but some decidedly less beardy people are here with their own gifts from the world of gaming. What I’m trying to say is, it’s showcase season! The Xbox Games Showcase, Summer Game Fest, and the small matter of Planet Zoo 2 are top of the agenda for us here at TheXboxHub towers.

You know what they say (probably); where there’s games, there’s TheXboxHub Official Podcast. Gareth, Paul and Darren are back with Episode 229 and it’s a busy old schedule. They deep dive into the Xbox Games Showcase, pick their highlights from Summer Game Fest and just about manage to keep Paul focused as his excitement for Gears of War: E-Day builds to fever pitch. 

There are, however, plenty more games which get a mention this episode including: Fable, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Clockwork Revolution, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation, Alien Isolation 2, Control Resonant, The Wolf Among Us 2, Gen Atlas, Metro 2039, State of Decay 3, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Senua, Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, Persona 6, DOOM: The Dark Ages Revelations, Guild Wars 3, Clutch, Crazy Taxi: World Tour and many, many more. Phew, and breathe. 

The team also takes a little time to reflect on their overall impressions of both showcases, talking Xbox strategy as well as the ridiculously stacked release schedules for September 2026 and February 2027. Could it be that something big is coming at the end of this year? Oh, and was that Tupac?

Oh, and we’ve been chatting with those behind Planet Zoo 2 as well. If you want to know more about that game, catch our exclusive interview.

I have been playing games since a very early age, thanks to my Dad's encouragement. I've been an Xbox gamer since the very beginning, the Master Chief is to thank for that. I'm also a big Nintendo geek, and my other half is a PlayStation nut. I'll play pretty much anything in any genre (although FIFA and COD maybe pushing it).
