Review Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed (Xbox) - Nintendo Wii Classic Gets A Modern Makeover
A lovingly-crafted remake
Hopefully you'll forgive us for not having that much experience with the original Disney Epic Mickey for Nintendo Wii, as although the sequel arrived on Xbox 360 in 2012, Xbox fans have never been treated to the first entry in this series until now. It's been a long wait, but the good news is that developer Purple Lamp has...
Review Alone In The Dark (Xbox) - Classic Horror Reboot Misses The Mark
Better left alone?
We've been rather excited to get our hands on Alone in the Dark since THQ Nordic announced the series' revival back in late 2022, and after a few delays it's finally coming to Xbox this week. The team at Pieces Interactive has re-imagined the IP, taking elements of the first three games in the franchise and combining them with a...
Review AEW: Fight Forever - A Fun Wrestling Game That Doesn't Take Itself Too Seriously
It's Wednesday, you know what that means!
I'll start off our Pure Xbox review of AEW Fight Forever by admitting I'm an absolutely massive All Elite Wrestling fan. I watch all the shows, I buy all the pay-per-views, and I'll be in attendance at the historic Wembley event this August. Therefore, there was a lot of expectation going into this specific...
A Little Dab'll Do Ya
Ooooooh, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob SquarePants! Whose videogame antics aren't really for me? SpongeBob SquarePants! Yes, SpongeBob SquarePants, the...eh...the square sea sponge who wears pants, is back for another bite at the video game cherry and, well, it's very much a case of us having seen it all...
Review Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed - A Shiny Remake That's Unashamedly Stuck In The Past
Watch your behind
A couple years back, THQ Nordic began pumping us all full of nostalgia with a number of PS2-era remakes; namely Spongebob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated and of course, Destroy All Humans! Well, you better get ready to be pumped full of errr, alien juice, as Destroy All Humans 2 is returning this month to...
Review MX vs ATV Legends - Two Wheeled Racing Leads The Pack
Pile-up on the mountain
MX vs ATV is an off-road racing series that's flown somewhat under the radar in recent years. We can attest to that — this reviewer hasn't played one since the original Xbox release — but we were looking forward to jumping into MX vs ATV Legends to see how things have evolved since way back when. Legends is a more focused...
Mini Review Wreckfest For Xbox Series X - A Visually Impressive, Messily Executed Upgrade
Racing to the symphony of destruction
Oh boy, where do you even start with this one? You might remember that back in March, destructive Xbox Game Pass racer Wreckfest received a very generous free 4K, 60FPS patch for Xbox Series X, making it run better than ever on next-gen consoles. It was a genuinely fantastic addition to the game, but the...
Review Biomutant - An Ambitious Game Weighed Down By Its Own Ideas
A missed opportunity
There was a moment ten hours into Biomutant where we had to pause and collect our thoughts. Not because the game was particularly challenging or intense, but from the overwhelming amount of systems being thrown at us. The marketing up until its release has heavily focused on the creativity inside the game, and its definitely...
