Xbox Doesn’t Have a Japanese Problem
It’s age-old, and muttered in concerned tones whenever the topic gets brought up: Xbox just doesn’t do well in Japan. This week, Microsoft proved that chestnut wrong. There was an inevitability about this topic, thanks partly to Sony’s massive success in the PS3 era and the Xbox One’s lack of success in the east last generation. Now that is changing. Thanks to hard work behind the scenes and the addition of the Series S, Xbox is on its way to…

Yakuza Deserves Its Mainstream Moment
In the last 24 hours, SEGA has announced three new Yakuza games. And anybody who has ever played a Yakuza game will tell you that this is fantastic news – and that it deserves to be more. The franchise, now seemingly switching to its original title of Like a Dragon in the west, has been a very long-running franchise, but until remakes starting coming out and the franchise hit Game Pass I’m not sure it was hitting the audience it…

Assassin’s Creed Might Just Be Back
With a bevy of Assassin’s Creed announcements last night, it looks like the future might be bright for Assassin’s Creed. The hit franchise, which first appeared in the PS3/Xbox 360 era, has long been a staple for AAA gamers since the original following Altair. An update to the formula with Assassin’s Creed Origins meant it stayed relevant after fatigue for the franchise had begun to set in. But five years of giant RPGs has started to have their toll, mixed…

“Inadequate” Offer Shapes Call of Duty
The Activision purchase by Microsoft is one of the biggest tech purchases of all time. So naturally what people are getting really bent out of shape about is Call of Duty. It’s been a perennial big seller for generations, despite the fact that nobody in the gaming sphere admits to actually buying it. And it’s popular with good reason: it just works. It’s smooth, it’s fun, the online usually works without any issues. No problems at all. But now Microsoft…

Halo’s Split-Screen Flip-Flop is Another Major Blow
How do you so incredibly screw up your flagship game? That’s a question everybody in the upper echelons of Xbox should be asking about Halo – and not for the first time. With the news that Halo Infinite will now nto be getting a split-screen co-op mode, we realise that the bottom of the barrel is apparently even deeper than we thought. Xbox has a lot going for it. It’s the superior console, with superior services and, yes, it is…

It’s been a WEEK in Gaming
You know it’s been a good week in gaming news when you hit the weekend not knowing entirely where to start. PlayStation have put up their prices, Nintendo and Microsoft haven’t, and Amazon were buying EA (before they weren’t).

Lou’s Lagoon – Official Gameplay Trailer
Lou’s Lagoon is a open world game that just looks amazing. Check out the trailer along with our thoughts below. Lou’s Lagoon is described as a “cozy” open world game. In the game, you run a seaplane delivery service! You can customize your character (and seaplane), discover new islands, and more. Lou’s Lagoon looks a little bit like Animal Crossing and a little bit like Talespin! I love the graphics in this game. Its very cartoon like. I also dig…
