It’s been a while since I last wrote an article covering the games that I’ve been playing on Game Pass, but there seems to have been an awful lot of conversation on social media recently about the Xbox One’s biggest selling points – and almost everyone in the discussion agreed that Game Pass has been an absolutely incredible service that’s […]
With no end in sight to the current situation with COVID-19, for many of us gaming has been a welcome respite from the anxiety and general uncertainty that’s disrupted our normal day to day lives. Game Pass has been invaluable for me, as it so often is – particularly given that everyone’s financial situation and job security is uncertain – […]
Though Gears of War 4 wasn’t without issues – as I noted in my review – it was an extremely satisfying game with a story that finally hit the right tone and shook off the Michael Bay-isms that had plagued the series from the beginning. Though the story felt like it ended abruptly, the final scene was a masterclass in […]
Note: as with my other Gears of War reviews, I’ve not checked out the vast and popular suite of multiplayer options; my thoughts here are based on the campaign alone. As the first post-Epic Games, post-Xbox 360 and post-original trilogy Gears of War entry, Gears of War 4 had an awful lot to prove. Could it work without Cliffy B’s […]
It’s been a big week for Game Pass, with Yakuza 0, Kingdom Hearts III and Two Point Hospital all released on the service. However, I’ve had limited gaming time and – if you’ve been reading my reviews regularly, you’ll know this already – my attention has still been mostly fixed on Jurassic World: Evolution, specifically the DLC campaigns that I’m […]
I must be psychic. Just a day before the Xbox Series X specs and features announcement, I was bemoaning the laziness of remasters – now here we are with the knowledge that first party (and third party, if the publisher chooses) games will essentially be forward compatible on Xbox One, meaning that you will be able to purchase a game […]
From time to time, I like to briefly cover the games I’ve recently been playing on the Xbox One’s Game Pass subscription service. Since I acquired my Xbox One X […]
Well, that was a surprise, wasn’t it? Last night, during The Game Awards 2019, Microsoft unveiled their next gen Xbox (previously codenamed Project Scarlett) – and the name has also […]
Christmas is coming and December’s ‘freebies’ for Gold subscribers are on their way too. The free-games-with-subs is always very subjective, no matter what’s on offer; if subscribers already own one […]
Since picking up an Xbox One X – and signing up for Game Pass Ultimate on the same day – I’ve written a few articles covering what I’ve been playing […]
Not being able to afford an Xbox when it was first released – being the owner of a Dreamcast, PS2 and GameCube at the time Microsoft’s console came out in […]
I’d intended for this article to be published earlier this week, but it became clear when I was some way through my piece that I’d be better off repurposing it […]
I finished Gears of War again at the weekend (yep, Game Pass strikes again!). I hadn’t played it since the original release and, this time, I’d played the Ultimate Edition which adds in further stages, which previously only appeared in the PC version of the game. Not only that, but the whole game has been given a lick of paint […]
Version Played: Xbox 360 Current CEX Price: £1.50 Crackdown was a hugely popular game in its day; concerned about its reception when revealed, Microsoft took the unusual step of including […]
I’ve still been making great use of Game Pass; there’s so much available and so many great quality games on offer that I can see me subscribing for a very […]
I’d forgotten how brutal Viva Pinata can be. Courtesy of Rare Replay – yes, I’m definitely making great use of Game Pass, thank you – I’ve had another chance to […]
