News Overwatch 2 Won't Be Released In 2021, According To Activision Blizzard
Don't expect to see Diablo IV, either
In 2019, Blizzard announced a sequel to its team-based hero shooter Overwatch for multiple platforms including Xbox. The focus of the second game is a new story and hero PvE missions. While it has sounded like more of an expansion than a full-blown sequel at times, it seems it's still going to take Blizzard a...

Crash? Tony Hawk?
Activision has revealed some of its upcoming projects via a recent earnings call, stating that it's working on a new "premium release" of Call of Duty and two "library IP" to release later this year. We're excited to hear of a new Call of Duty, although we're not 100% sure what it is. We shared a rumour back in March that Infinity...

Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan (Xbox One)
The wait for a great TMNT game continues...
We've reviewed three Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games in Pure Xbox's lifetime, and the highest any of those games scored was a 3/10. That's pretty dire, huh? Not since TMNT: Turtles in Time landed on the Super Nintendo back in 1992 have fans received a genuinely great game based on this timeless...
News Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Trailer Hits 1 Million Dislikes
Thumbs slamming down
Call of Duty fans don't appear to be happy with the creative direction of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare as its reveal trailer has received over 1 million "Dislikes" on YouTube.

News New Platinum-Developed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game In The Works
Heroes in an open-world?
It appears that Activison isn't quite done with the TNMT brand just yet, as achievements for an unannounced "mature" Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game have appeared online. According to the listing on XboxAchievements.com and an
Review Transformers: Devastation (Xbox One)
Exactly what meets the eye
Transformers: Devastation is not a catastrophe like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5. It's clearly a game that was made on a modest budget during a restricted development cycle, but it's a Platinum game and that's exactly what it feels like – exactly. It's an action-packed, fluid, and adrenaline-rousing exercise in ultra-quick...

Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze (Xbox 360)
Another turtle-tastrophe
We apologize in advance for doing this, but click here and here. Last year saw the release of two video games based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license, and you should know that we found both of them to be pretty terrible. But despite these Galapagos tortoise-sized cowabummers, when TMNT: Danger of the Ooze was...
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. Therefore if a significant method of obtaining loot is available and being made use of by some, we believe that all Guardians should at least know where it is, and how to get there. Without further ado, here are simple steps that will bring you to Destiny's...
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...
Review The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Xbox One)
Great power. Great disposability.
With another blockbuster film comes another video game tie-in — but is that always a bad thing? With games like Spider-Man 2, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and even Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay we'd have to say that expecting a lazy cash grab shouldn't always be a go-to reaction. Look back at 2012's...

News Ice Age Tie-In Coming to Kinect This Year
Arctic edge
Activision's just announced it's bringing Ice Age: Continental Draft — Arctic Games to Kinect in 2012. Guess what? It's a minigame compilation. Nobody could have guessed that.
