Live By the Sword: Tactics is a strategy rpg in the same vein as Mercenaries Saga and Final Fantasy Tactics. Who is this game for? Is it a good game? Here is our review of Live By the Sword: Tactics for the Xbox Series S! Live By the Sword: Tactics is a strategy rpg in the same vein of the Mercenaries Saga games. The story is very simplistic: two brothers band together with other heroes to try to solve their…

Call of Duty is out, and the talk of the day isn’t about its tight multiplayer or enjoyable campaign. Most conversation seems wrapped around the NEXT Call of Duty. This one isn’t getting a sequel, it’s getting a “premium expansion” – and just what is the difference? If instead of another Black Ops game we get Modern Warfare 2-2, only it’s a paid expansion and everything is done via update… does it actually make any discernable difference in the eyes…

I remember playing the first Halo and thinking it was amazing. I had never seen anything like it. A first person sci-fi shooter with, at the time, stunning graphics. Interesting story too. Then I played the second one and was let down by how short it was and how it ended. I think I played the third one but after that, well, I didn’t have an Xbox One. Now I have an Xbox Series S and I’ve checked Halo Infinite.…

A new adventure has just hit the Switch, PC, and Xbox systems! Lonesome Village is described as a “puzzle-solving fantasy adventure with social simulation”. Check out the launch trailer below and our thoughts on the game. Lonesome Village is out now for the Switch, PC, and Xbox systems. It is $19.99 US. And…it looks awesome! I love simulation games, as you all know and Lonesome Village has that and more. In the trailer we see farming and decorating your home.…

Like all good addicts, I’m still knee-deep into my return to Overwatch 2. That’s giving me a long time to consider the battle pass, and just how much it takes out of the game. I’ve done the review. I’ve spent a decent amount of time with new – or newish – characters. It is, as it always way, a bloody good game. So why is the monetization so bloody bad? The battle pass takes a key part of the first…

Within days of me giving myself hope for a Metal Gear future, some more evidence has popped up that may or may not add to that foolish optimism. The developer rumoured to be working on a Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has teased something… right before deleting it again. The Metal Gear Solid 3 remake has been rumoured for several years, and is bizarrely often mentioned along a new set of remasters for 1, 2 and 3 as well. Virtuos…

If there has been one sign that the console wars have grown up, it’s this. We no longer argue about lists of games. Instead, we argue over corporate decisions. Nowhere has that been more obvious than in the conversation about Game Pass’s profitability. Game Pass wasn’t sustainable. Then it wasn’t good for the industry. Then it was both, but it wasn’t profitable. Now, thanks to a new interview with Xbox’s Phil Spencer, we know that it is profitable. Which is…

Everybody’s favourite bird/robot combination has returned to Overwatch – but Bastion is not as you remember him. The famously tough little robot can no longer heal, and his high damage gun is now a temporary move. In some ways this feels like a nerf – especially when you’re surrounding by Tracers and Sombras – but in others it opens him up as a very different charcacter. If the unfortunately missing Assault was still in the mix – and I hope…

Last week, Disney Dreamlight Valley had its first content update! I’ve had a chance to try it out on the Xbox Series S via gamepass. Here are my thoughts so far. I’ve been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley since it launched on gamepass. I’ve enjoyed it a lot too. The game is said to have a lot of issues on the Nintendo Switch, but on the Xbox Series S, it seemed like it had less issues. Some occasional glitches but nothing…

Resident Evil Re:Verse still exists and, well, that’s news to me. The multiplayer game, which has been delayed twice, will be free to owners of Village from October 28th. The multiplayer mode for Village was met with skepticism when it was announced nearly two years ago. That was only increased when it was delayed from May 7 – alongside Village – to Summer, and then again to a vague 2022. Well, surprise surprise, it’s still coming in 2022. In fact,…
