Review Shovel Knight (Xbox One)
Dig your way to retro heaven
Shovel Knight is one of the finest video game success stories of modern times. When a few employees left WayForward to start their very own indie studio, they took to Kickstarter to pitch their first project to the masses and round up the proper funding. That project, of course, was Shovel Knight. The campaign was a...

Review State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition (Xbox One)
New and unimproved
When it comes to writing a review, sometimes the words are easy to put together, while the score causes problems and doubt. Sometimes, the opposite occurs and while you've got the score locked in your head, the words just don't flow. With Undead Labs' remaster of the cult Xbox 360 hit State of Decay, we seem to have run into...

Accessory Review Mortal Kombat X Fight Pad for Xbox One and Xbox 360
Losing kontrol
With the release of a major fighting game comes the inevitable licensed controller. While we usually end up with an arcade stick of some sort, accessory maker PDP has come up with a more affordable option to accompany the launch of the year's biggest fighting game, Mortal Kombat X. This Sega Genesis-like wired Fight Pad is Xbox One...

Review Mortal Kombat X (Xbox One)
Taking it to the X level
Back in 2011, Mortal Kombat was reinvented for home consoles with its ninth entry, which amounted to what many consider to be the definitive game in the series. Introducing a story mode unlike anything ever included in a fighting game before it, as well as remixing characters, locations, and plot events from its...

Review Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China (Xbox One)
Changing perspectives
The concept of taking the Assassin's Creed franchise into a 2.5D game world is certainly an interesting proposition. Many were wondering how Ubisoft and Climax Studios would go about getting the free-running elements of the main franchise into a side-scroller whilst keeping an element of freedom about the proceedings. The good...
Review Infinity Runner (Xbox One)
Travelling without moving
One type of game that until now has yet to make the jump to Xbox One – some would say thankfully – is the endless runner. Made popular by the likes of Temple Run and a billion other pretenders on mobile devices, the genre has yet to really get a foothold on any home console platform. This is more than likely due to the...

Review The Evil Within: The Assignment (Xbox One)
Extra marks for excellence
If you're expecting The Evil Within's first story-based DLC, The Assignment, to play anything like the main game, you may want to sit down and read this first. While the original gave players a chance to fight back the horrors with plenty of weapons and gadgets, The Assignment throws all of that away for a more methodical,...

News Preview Program Members Advised to Decline Latest Update to Prevent Factory Reset
Watch out!
Members of the Xbox Dashboard Preview Program are being advised to decline an update that went live yesterday, since it might cause their console to perform a full factory reset. What that means is that any games that you've downloaded will be removed from the console. You'll be able to re-download them of course, and your saved games...
Review Goat Simulator (Xbox One)
Bleat It
If you have logged into Steam recently, you have undoubtedly noticed that there are simulators for just about every single type of activity. Farming? Check. Warehouse and Logistics? Of course! This trend is obviously ripe for parody, so it made sense that the April 1st release of Goat Simulator on Steam last year became a hit. Now over a...
Review We Are Doomed (Xbox One)
Gone too soon
When it comes to twin-stick shooters, Geometry Wars changed the game when it reared its head back in 2003. Plenty of pretenders to the throne have come and gone and the release of Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions (and the subsequent free content-doubling DLC pack) has raised the bar once again. Out twin-sticking the wireframe champion is...

Review Borderlands: The Handsome Collection (Xbox One)
It's what's on the inside that counts
When Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel released back in October for last-generation consoles only, pretty much anyone and everyone with any understanding of this industry suspected it wouldn't be long before it found its way onto Xbox One. Sure enough, about 5 months later, it's shown up where we expected it to and...

News Build Your Farm in Wild Season for Xbox One
King of the indie frontier
Quickfire Games and SOEDESCO have confirmed that they'll be releasing their farming and life sim Wild Season on Xbox One in 2015. Inspired by the likes of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing, the game starts off with you taking over a decrepit farm in a far away town, with the goal being to turn it into the best farm in the...
News Star Wars Battlefront Playable First on Xbox One
The force is is strong with Xbox
As expected, it appears that Xbox One owners will get to play Star Wars Battlefront first, courtesy of EA Access. This beautiful bit of news comes from a tweet from Aaron Greenberg - Microsoft's games marketing lead - replying to a tweet asking if he's ready for the game. [tweet 587781284388155392] At this point,...
Sunday12th Apr 2015
Burnt out
When it comes to simulations of motorcycle racing, there's really only one name left in the business. When you buy a game based on MotoGP, Motocross, Superbikes, or anything else that runs on two wheels and has an engine, Italian developer Milestone is likely who will be behind it. With so many titles under their belt, we were expecting...
News Police 10-13 Set to Bust Perps on Xbox One
Been doing a little drinking tonight, sir?
Wingman Games are currently working on a "police simulator" title for PC and Xbox One, by the name of Police 10-13. The game has been a part of Steam's "Greenlight" program for a little while, where it has indeed been greenlit by the community, and Wingman appears to have a long list of features that they...

News Happy Wars Accidentally Launched on Xbox One
Warning!
Toylogic have accidentally released the Xbox One version of Happy Wars in some regions, it was revealed today. The game has since been removed from the marketplace, but Playlogic boss Yoichi Take says that both Playlogic and Microsoft are investigating what caused the game to launch early. Also, says Take, players shouldn't play the Xbox...
News More Titles Discounted for the Weekend in the Xbox Spring Sale
Hit for six
In addition to the list of Spring Sale and Deals With Gold offers that were announced earlier in the week, Microsoft has added an extra batch of deals that will be available this weekend at a discount. Some cracking puzzling action, some dancing, a couple board games, and a Mexican-themed platformer are the order of the day on Xbox One,...
Review Tower Of Guns (Xbox One)
Bulletproof...We Wish It Was
Tower of Guns is a very simple game at its core. You play the protagonist, running through room after room of the eponymous tower, shooting anything mechanical that tries to do you harm. Once you've cleared a room, you shoot the door and move into another one to do the same, then repeat until you meet a boss character...

News Officially Licensed Xbox One Star Wars Controllers Go Up For Preorder
These might not be the controllers you're looking for
PowerA has announced that on April 30th, they'll release three officially licensed Star Wars-themed controllers for Xbox One in the US. We'd imagine that they'll reach the UK and Europe in due course. R2D2, Stormtrooper, and Darth Vader designs are available, but the (wireless) force is weak...

Review Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones (Xbox One)
Sneaky Fun
It is quite fitting that Stealth Inc 2: A Game of Clones, a 2D stealth action game developed by Curve Digital, crept up on us. With the previous title being generally enjoyable, this was a game that was anticipated, but no more than your standard sequel. With this one though, you'll decide to play "an hour" before bed, and find that five...

Review Pool Nation FX (Xbox One)
Rack and ruined
Back in 2012, a game by the name of Pool Nation launched on Xbox 360. Pretty much overlooked by everyone other than hardcore fans of cue and ball action, it was a surprisingly good take on the sport, featuring a ludicrously addictive Endurance mode, great visuals, and smooth gameplay. Fast forward to 2015, and Pool Nation FX has...
Review Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty! (Xbox One)
It's an odd, odd world.
Gamers may claim to be sick of remakes, but they keep selling. These remakes serve the purpose of updating past titles and allowing new people to experience them for the first time. The latest remake to hit Xbox One is Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!, a remake of 1997's Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee. Has time passed Oddworld by or is it...

These achievements come fast for furious drivers
Achievements and Gamerscore are a big part of Xbox culture. Not only do we like to unlock the most brutally difficult achievements to showcase our skills to our friends and followers, but sometimes we just like to send our Gamerscore skyrocketing by any means necessary. The best way to do that is to...
