2020’s Coffee Talk went down a storm. It’s a game that we still talk about to this day, chatting over the late night tales that it brings. So Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is one that is hugely anticipated by many – and today we get full confirmation of a release date. Clear

The horrors of the first World War are fairly familiar to the gaming community. From the first-person shooters of Battlefield and Verdun, many times we have been thrown into the real battles and encounters from that moment in time. But there have also been reflective and poignant games like 11:11 – Memories Retold, retelling and

The world of the flight sim is an intricate one.

It has been a little while since I last played a good Tower Defence game, and so the release of a new entry in the genre is very welcome.  The game in question is Space Raiders in Space, from the developers of 2 Stupid Devs and Destructive Creations, published by RedDeerGames. Billed as a mixture

It’s fairly safe to say that January 2023, as a month, isn’t the most exciting for Game Pass users, with just a mere smattering of new titles expected to hit the surface. In fact, it’s those that are moving out of Game Pass which are much more the focus, as 6 of the very finest

If you’ve been feeling guilty about making animal-skin wallets in the Far Cry series, then you might want to redeem yourself with We Are the Caretakers. Instead of carving up creatures you’re protecting them, in what might be Xbox’s first anti-poaching game. Buy it, and you’re even contributing 10% of the amount to Save the

Ever heard of Edifier as an audio brand? Nah, us neither, but if their GX Gaming Headset is anything to go by, we’re likely to be hearing much more from these guys going forward.  We’ve used a lot of gaming headsets over the years, from official Microsoft offerings, through the big third party names of

Even someone with barely more than a passing interest in anime will know what One Piece is. And the Straw Hat Crew are here again in what could be their biggest videogame yet. One Piece Odyssey is out today on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC. After searching across the New World for their next

Welcome to 2023! Thank you for another bustling year of DC Universe Online on Xbox.

Xbox is working to reduce our environmental impact to help us reach Microsoft’s goal of being a carbon negative, water positive, and zero waste company by 2030 by rethinking how we design, build, distribute, and use our products.

Parents have a nasty habit of scaring kids into doing/not doing things with lies, rather than just being truthful. “Best behaviour otherwise Santa won’t deliver any presents” or “The ice cream van only plays music when it has run out of ice cream”. Lies, lies, lies! But what if their more sinister tales of the

One Piece Odyssey’s release is just around the corner and to give everyone a head start, a demo of this new turn-based RPG is available now on Xbox Series X|S. When you begin, you’ll see our main cast, known as the Straw Hat Pirates, get sucked into a storm, thrown onto a mysterious island, and

Do we really need colour-changing controllers in the world? Probably not.  Do we want them? Hell yeah.  The NACON Pro Compact controller for Xbox may not be our go-to gaming pad, especially not for long drawn-out sessions, but it’s not a bad option to have, particularly as it is well suited to those who need

“Happy lyrics should always be paired with a minor key, and vice versa!” – a guest teacher at my music school once proclaimed this with certainty, arguing that you needed that touch of melancholy to make things interesting. Now, writing a video game script might not be the same as writing a hit song, but

When I played and reviewed the previous Strategic Mind game to surface on the Xbox, Strategic Mind: The Pacific, I wasn’t massively enamoured of it.
