Xbox Series X News

Summer Game Fest seemed like it wasn’t going to have any major third party reveals. And then, at the very end, Resident Evil 9 was revealed. Check out the trailer for it and our thoughts on the reveal and the game. Resident Evil 9 Requiem will be coming out on February 27, 2026. The game was the final announcement for Summer Game Fest tonight. There was big fake out saying they had no news for the game earlier and then…

I’ve been watching Summer Game Fest and…I completely lost it when this game was announced. Scott Pilgrim EX, a brand new game set in the Scott Pilgrim universe, was shown off today. Check out the trailer and my thoughts on it. Scott Pilgrim EX is coming out in 2026 to Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PS4/PS5, and PC. I absolutely loved the original Scott Pilgrim game. This new one is being done by Tribute Games, who did Shredder’s Revenge and other cool…

It’s a big week for gaming. The Switch 2 is out in just a couple of days, and then we have the Summer Games Fest and the Xbox conference at the weekend. And a Sony show is probably quite close behind. It’s going to be a month of announcements and reviews. As always, the rumour mill has been working overtime and we have a good idea of some of what we might see over the coming seven days. Naturally, take…

of FinaOne of the last major titles unveiled in the great Nvidia leak of 2021 is a remake of Final Fantasy IX and all signs are pointing to an imminent announcement. It’s the 25th anniversary and the dedicated website is loaded with new information and art. Almost like there are some major game events in the next week or so. I for one am excited. Although its my least favourite of the VII-X run, it’s such a strong run of…

There’s a new pope kicking around, and while I’m sure his schedule is fairly busy I have a request: please bless the skippable cutscene. During his next visit to GamesReviews.com, I’m hoping he sees this and fully understands the absolute sincerity in which I ask this. The skippable cutscene is potentially one of the most beautiful inventions in the modern world. Firstly because it doesn’t require a subscription, but mostly just because of the pure convenience of it all. This…

I checked out Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin over its free weekend on Xbox. I had heard bad things about this for the most part. What did I think of it? Here are my thoughts on Strangers in Paradise. Strangers in Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin is a prequel to Final Fantasy 1. And this is very obvious early on in the game, when  Garland (from FF1) appears. Then he’s mentioned. A lot. The four warriors of light legend appear…

What do you get when you cross Paper Mario with the movie Coco? You might get Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo. Let’s talk about this unique game that’s now available on Xbox Gamepass. Kulebra and the Souls of Limbo is now available on Xbox Gamepass and on other systems. The game stars Kulebra, a snake-like bone creature that finds himself in limbo. There are souls trapped here that can’t move on and its up to Kulebra to help them.…

How much is a game worth to you? I’m not talking a specific game. Not the wishlist, dream game that you’d trade your firstborn for. Just a game. $80? My guess is it isn’t even close. The average gamer isn’t spending anywhere near that much. Maybe a few times a generation or in support of a certain publisher. Perhaps you’ll splurge at Christmas or when a console launches. But those are outliers. Factor in deals, bundles, deep discounts and what…

Just a few short weeks after we were all bouncing up and down about the Oblivion remaster, a new rumour has sprung up. Rockstar are working on bringing Grand Theft Auto 4 to PlayStation and Switch. That should tell you everything you need to know right there. Skipping Xbox (and PC for now) implies that this is just a straight port, bringing the fourth numbered entry in the legendary franchise to audiences who currently can’t access it. The game is…

I’ve been playing Towerborne’s game preview on Xbox Series a little bit and thought I’d share some thoughts on the game so far. How is Towerborne? Towerborne is a sidescrolling beat ‘em up with rpg elements. You create your character, choose a class and go on missions where you fight enemies in a sidescrolling beat ‘em up fashion. There is a hub world and also a world map. The game has a cartoon-like drawn style to it. It’s a neat…
