Review Slender: The Arrival (Xbox 360)
Oh, the Slender Man... the Slender Man can.
Back in 2012, a two-man development team at Parsec Productions created a PC game called Slender: The Eight Pages as an experiment. The Eight Pages was based on the tale of The Slender Man, a tall and faceless paranormal figure who would stalk, traumatize, and abduct anyone who may come across him,...

Review D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die (Xbox One)
Look for D
Remember Deadly Premonition? It’s one of the most divisive games ever to be released upon the world. Poor production values, bizarreness to the extreme, and campy…well, everything else, meant it was one of those wonderfully weird games that either clicked with you, or it didn't at all. Now, four years after the release of Deadly...

News Constructor HD Due to Build a New Home on Xbox One
Lock it in
A remake of the 1997 mission-based strategy title Constructor is well underway and due to be released on Xbox One next month, if UK retailer GAME is to be believed. They've got the title listed as hitting on November 28th in the UK, for £29.99. Usually we'd fire this up as a rumour, but the retailer has boxart complete with a PEGI age...
The keeper fluffs it.
Here we are once again. It’s that time of year that - if you’re in the UK at least - the releases of EA’s annual Madden and NHL franchises are nothing but a precursor to. It’s FIFA time once again, and no matter what we say about the game here, it’ll undoubtedly be a massive success and sit at the top of the sales...

"I'm your density. I mean, your destiny."
It goes without saying that we all expect big things from the creators of the Halo series. And it’s not just because they bestowed upon us one of the best science-fiction gaming franchises of all time, it’s also due to the epic promise that their new IP will be an intergalactic journey so grand that...
News Destiny: How to Find The Magic Cave
Fair play?
Here at Pure Xbox we believe in fair play, a level field, fun, and the like.

Without further ado, here are simple steps that will bring you to Destiny's...

News Did Microsoft Surreptitiously Drop the Xbox One Price in the UK?
We reckon they did. Sort of.
For a while now, there's been debate over further Xbox One hardware price drops in the UK, and it looks like Microsoft are gearing up to present some deals ahead of an official announcement. At the console's launch, the system was available with Kinect for £429.99. Then, in February 2014, it was trimmed to £399.99...

Review KickBeat - Special Edition (Xbox One)
Bass dropped.
If you haven’t heard of Kickbeat before and are looking at the screenshots, you’ll probably get the idea that it’s a fighting game that has something to do with music. On the surface of it, that’s true, but the fighting itself is mere decoration for what is a relatively standard rhythm action title. The game is set around...

News Amazon US Removes Kinect-free Xbox One From Sale Due to Hardware Issues
Uh-oh.
Well, after that headline, it wasn't going to be great news, was it? In the USA, Amazon have temporarily removed the Kinect-free Xbox One console from sale, due to a wave of customers reporting to Amazon that there is either "something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described." We're...
News EA to Crack down on Ultimate Team Cheaters in FIFA 15

Those ninjas came from the past!
It was way back in the year 2000 that Digital Extremes announced a new game entitled Dark Sector was in the works.

As the development cycle...

News Destiny's Level Cap Broken Down
Raise the bar higher!
A mere few days ago we were treated to the latest endeavour by Bungie Studios. We were provided with our Destiny. Many of us likely went tumbling in with friends head over heels, not knowing what exactly was in store. The game is more difficult than what we experienced in Beta play, where an unfortunate level cap of 8 was...
Breaking baa-d.
Did you ever play Lemmings? The classic A to B puzzle game were you were supposed to guide a crowd of small, green chaps through levels and past obstacles? The goal was to get as many of them out safely, sometimes leaving a few brave lemmings behind for the greater good. Team 17's new game Flockers is very much like that ... only a...

News Destiny Sells $500 Million, Has Most Successful New IP Launch of All Time
Big numbers
Activision has released a few details about the first-day sales performance of Destiny, and there are some big, big numbers being bandied around. According to the publisher, more than $500 million worth of the game was "sold into retail stores" on day one. We're assuming that would count as "shipped" rather than "sold" but you've got to...
Skating backwards going forwards.
NHL 15 was supposed to be a celebration of hockey. A true coming of age that would have us flying banners and cheering EA’s name as they masterfully took the step up to the new generation and showed us their skills on previously untouched ice. When the puck dropped, it would provide the graphical and gameplay...

(Re)mastered Blaster
When it comes to re-releasing older titles on a new platform, there are a number of ways a publisher and developer can go about it. They can just put the game out as it was and drop the price. Alternatively, they can bundle in a load of DLC and call it a “definitive” version. Failing that, they can tweak the graphics and...
