Xbox Game Pass Gets Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Just In Time For The Holidays
1.12.2022
The holidays were always the time of year where I got to see my rich cousins and enjoy the fruits of their father’s Wall Street labor: their Xbox. We’d spend all of Christmas Day playing Halo or Fuzion Frenzy, giving the youngest cousin an unplugged-in controller to keep him quiet. With Lego Star...
Starfield, Bethesda's Next Big RPG, Has Survival Elements Without All The Stress
30.11.2022
With so, so many planets in Starfield, Bethesda’s upcoming space sim game, there’s a lot of room for speculation ahead of its release on Xbox and PC next year. But the time for guessing games is coming to an end. Inspired by fictional themes and “tone” moreso than hardcore realism, the game aims...
Soccer Story Is An RPG Where Football Is The Villain
29.11.2022
Soccer Story, out this week, is a new RPG from PanicBarn, the team behind Not Tonight. It is an RPG devoted entirely to the sport of football. It is not, as the combination of name and art style might have you initially believe, a sequel or successor to Golf Story.Read more

You Can Get An Xbox Series S For Under $200 Today
28.11.2022
The Xbox Series S is one of my favorite purchases. It’s the little machine that could, a less powerful version of a next-gen console, that somehow is able to run everything anyway. Today you can get one for under $200, the cheapest it’s ever been—even cheaper than last week’s cheapest ever....
Vampire Survivors Adds A Death Bridge
25.11.2022
Vampire Survivors, 2022's break-out game—nay—genre, released its complete 1.0 edition just over a month ago, near the end of October. But if you were worried that meant developer poncle was done, put your worry back in its worry-case, close the lid, clip the clasps, and update your edition...
Microsoft Explains Why Elder Scrolls VI Will Be Exclusive And Call Of Duty Won't
23.11.2022
The court proceedings to justify why Microsoft should be allowed to acquire Activision Blizzard are still currently ongoing. In a response to the UK market regulator’s statement about the acquisition, the publisher suggests that it makes good business sense for them to make a “mid-sized” game like...
Everything Coming To The Witcher 3 In The Free New-Gen Upgrade
23.11.2022
One of the best games of the last decade is about to get even better, and for free to everyone who already owns it. CD Projekt Red finally revealed everything that will be included in The Witcher 3’s new-gen upgrade, and even showed off a bit of it in action with a new trailer. The long wait...
Xbox Admits PlayStation Exclusives Are ‘Better Quality’
23.11.2022
In its latest written response sent to the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) group, Microsoft uses a lot of data to show that its buying of beleaguered publisher Activision Blizzard isn’t going to hurt Sony or Nintendo. In fact, as its bizarre frenzy of self-negging continues,...
The Xbox 360 Controller Is Coming Back For Its 17th Birthday
22.11.2022
I remember my first console controller—the polished black batwing I used to steer my Xbox 360—as vaguely sticky. What do middle schoolers do to cover everything they touch in a thin, gummy worm film? Aside from eating many gummy worms? (In my case, at least.) Peripheral manufacturer Hyperkin...
Here Are The Best Black Friday Gaming Deals
18.11.2022
It’s that time of year again. The pumpkins have all been smashed, the peppermint is in the mocha, and all Mariah Carey wants for Christmas is you (and her big fat royalty check from Columbia Records). The holiday pre-season is officially upon us, with deals and discounts on a ton of games...
Somerville’s Hero Is Actually A Jerk Who Totally Ignores His Dog
17.11.2022
I’ll be the first to admit that I find the weirdly performative nature of the “Can You Pet The Dog” Twitter account to be annoying and odd. The idea that games should all include some moment when you pet a pup or a cat is silly to me and feels like a misguided reaction to so many games being...
The Xbox Series S Is Now Even Cheaper Than The Nintendo Switch
17.11.2022
The Xbox Series S is without question my favorite home console in years. It’s small, sleek, and runs like a Swiss watch. It’s also incredibly affordable at just $300, but somehow it just got even cheaper. Microsoft announced earlier today that the Game Pass juggernaut will be discounted to $250...
Microsoft Shelved Game Pass Streaming Box Because It Was Too Expensive
16.11.2022
Earlier this year, it seemed like Microsoft would reveal its Xbox Game Pass streaming device, codenamed Keystone, at any moment. Fans even thought the company was teasing its release when it mysteriously appeared on a shelf last month. Instead, we got an app exclusive to Samsung smart TVs. And...
Xbox Automatically Banned 4 Million Accounts For Cheating Or Botting In 2022
15.11.2022
Microsoft recently published an Xbox transparency report that offers some details on how it moderated its online services during the first six months of 2022. According to the publisher’s report, most enforcements were “proactive,” which means that Xbox issued a ban (in most cases) before anyone...

Xbox Game Pass Is About To Get One Of 2022's Best Games
15.11.2022
Just because the spooky season has passed doesn’t mean Microsoft’s Netflix-like subscription service is fresh out of spice to stimulate your gaming senses for the rest of November. While November’s assortment of games isn’t quite as loaded as last month’s helpings, it does feature a diverse...
This Game Where You Pee On Everything Is Hilarious
15.11.2022
Thank God for the idiotic joy of McPixel. A much-overlooked game from 2012, far too many people failed to recognise the semiotic brilliance of its sophisticated puzzles, based on innovative solutions centred around kicking people in their groin and then peeing on stuff. A decade later, finally...
PlayStation Dives into NFT World with New Patent, Rival XBOX Lags Behind
15.11.2022
A newly published patent suggests that the gaming giant Sony PlayStation may use non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in-game – or at least they’re looking into it. Microsoft’s XBOX, meanwhile, seems to be looking in the opposite direction.
Sony’s patent is titled “US20220358450 - Tracking Unique In-Game...
