Xbox Series X News

Psychonauts was a classic on the original Xbox. Absolutely loved that game. And so when I got gamepass, Psychonauts 2 was one of the first games I had to play. Hello again Psychonauts! Its been a long time since Psychonauts on the Xbox. I loved that game but for the longest time, never thought there would be another Psyhonauts game. And then the second one was awesome. My excitement level was high. Now that I’m playing the game I can…

Recently I got an Xbox Series S and gamepass. I’ve been playing a lot of games on the service. One of the games that I found on the service is Lost Words: Beyond the Page. Let me tell you about it. One of the most unique games I’ve found on gamepass recently is Lost Words: Beyond the Page. The game is adventure/platformer/puzzle game with two unique story segments. The first is where you control a small wolf on in a…

Next Tuesday, an indie called Garden Story will arrive on gamepass. Check out the reveal trailer below and stick around for some thoughts on the game. I’ve heard of Garden Story before but I’ve never played it. It looks like my sort of game though: fishing, gardening, talking to villagers, and fighting. Its a bit Stardew Valley/Rune Factory like. The graphics are ultra-cute too. I’m looking forward to checking it out. I love how so many indie come to gamepass.…

Recently I got an Xbox Series S and Gamepass. I’ve been playing a lot of different games. One of the games I’ve wanted to play for awhile now is Sea of Thieves. I always thought the game looked neat! And now I’ve played the game a little bit and here are my first thoughts on it. Sea of Thieves has been out for awhile now. I heard about the game and I knew it had a bit of a mixed…

If you’ve been reading my columns and/or you know me, then you know that I’m a huge Nintendo fan. You may even know that I like Playstation. You may or may realize that I’ve always liked Xbox too. Its just been awhile since I had one of the systems (360 was the last one). And now…I have an Xbox Series S! Here are my thoughts on the system so far. Yesterday, I got an Xbox Series S! Shocking right? I…

Partly because of leakers, partly because of Covid – the Summer game events over the past few weeks have proven that the era of megaton gaming news is basically gone. That might sound extreme, but it’s true. Outside of billion-dollar acquisitions, when was the last time we were truly surprised by something? And acquisitions aren’t something we want often enough to make up for the quiet. Everybody wants to announce their new game like it’s a megaton. The Last of…

Final Fantasy VII Remake came to Steam last night. It’s been on PC via the Epic Game Store for six months, and was on PlayStation platforms for 18 months before that. It’s time, Square Enix – bring it to Xbox. I’m the biggest fan of these games. We shelled out on the special edition of the Remake, and I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I loved the DLC too. With its availability slowly expanding, it doesn’t seem like there’s…

Sunday June 12th, 2022 I was lucky enough to be invited for the Xbox Showcase 2022. Xbox had a 90 minute event in Toronto to show off several games coming out this year, I was amazed at the amount of games coming to game pass. I arrived to the event and was greeted by some amazing staff for Xbox who checked me in to the event, my excitement began to grow. I entered the venue and saw so many faces in the gaming community were we got to mingle, share some food, and laughs. We were also treated to some amazing food while we waited for the event to start. It was ...

I've been a huge supporter of Performance Design Products for a long time now, and they have always been great supporters of the website. In general, I do really enjoy the products the company puts out, but I've also had my issues with them. Most notably, I've never been overly impressed with the headsets the company has released. While they have been adequate and good for the price point, they've never been my go-to for long gaming periods, and rarely stick to the games shelf - they are often just relegated to the basement shelf. That's changed with the ...

Today we’re putting aside the irreverent gaming commentary to bring you the most important fact from yesterday’s Xbox conference. Despite the apparent surprise from huge swathes of the gaming community, Starfield is indeed a Bethesda game. I can sympathize. Really I can. You follow a game for years and years, straight from its announcement at the Bethesda conference. You expect a brand new Bethesda RPG in space. Then the day comes: gameplay for the first time. But alas, it’s an…
