I'm really hoping the next Test Drive Unlimited is as good as the first. Man that game was awesome 😁

Yeah, whether you like fighters or not (I most certainly do!), this is a fantastic addition to the Xbox lineup 😁

Well, that was something haha
What a fantastic thing to experience on a dull Tuesday 😂
Kudos to the Xbox marketing team, they've knocked it so far out of the park this gen I don't think we'll ever see that ball again?! 😁

Both sound intriguing.
Looking forward to trying them out 😊

@MrClump Wow, I certainly was!
Played the first 3 chapters and cannot believe how fantastic it is?!
It's baffling that this game didn't get more fanfare at release.

Oh, excellent news!
I was gonna play a spot of Forza 7 tonight while I waited for it to drop tomorrow. Guess I'll crack straight on with it tonight 😁
Never played it before so I'm looking forward to it.

After a couple hours of playing it at launch, I fail to see how this game can ever be fixed. It's fundamentally broken on nearly every level.
Such a shame, as a fan of D&D I was really looking forward to it 😔

@seari84 It's not a Gamepass game mate, you'll find it under your Perks 😊

Sea of Thieves Friday night, standard.
Last night I tried Bug Fables which is very good (take some notes Paper Mario) and then rolled the credits on Space Jam.
I was very pleasantly surprised! Now, I love basketball, Loony Tunes, Beat em Ups, retro gaming and Space Jam. It ticks a lot of boxes haha
Tonight I'll play some Limbo as it's superb.
In all the gaps I'll play Monster Hunter Rise 😁

I can echo the above sentiments, I'll be giving this a go next week for sure.
I slept on it first time around but the sequel's trailer woke me with a shock haha
All the comments suggested how awesome the original is so I'm really looking forward to it 😊

My friends and I finished the second and third TTs last night and had an absolute blast.
I won't spoil it, but there's a scene at the end of the third that is so hype and actually rather emotional.
You would have to be seriously invested already in the SoT lore and it's characters for it to land. If that's you though and it does hit, it hits hard ☺️

Yeah, this is definitely something to be excited for 😁

Haha that's amazing 😁
Man, that takes me back, Korn used to play a lot at all the house parties we went to.
I'd love to know the story behind it? 🤔

Day one for me 😁
SoR4 is an absolute masterpiece of a Beat'em Up!

@jipiboily Welcome to the party pal!!

Personally I feel as though this is a great match.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Medium, the atmosphere and setting was superb. I have no reason to believe they couldn't make a terrifying world once those sirens start kicking off 😁
Silent Hill 2 is one of my favourite games of all time so colour me excited!

@TJ81 I'll pop it next to CVG 😁

@TJ81 Haha amazing!
Yeah I had a bunch that got given away with various magazines etc.
The death of printed media (for the most part) is a sad thing. Getting that new Mean Machines or NMS magazine was amazing.
We're definitely getting (got??) old mate haha
But, what a time to be alive 😊

Sea of Thieves all Friday night and the rest of the weekend playing Monster Hunter Rise, the demo for Monster Hunter Stories 2 and some Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate haha
Big fan right here 😊

@TJ81 That's interesting you bring that up. I too had a VHS tape of upcoming Mega Drive games! Bet it was the same one haha This showed off some Chemical Plant Zone gameplay 😁

Nothing can top Sonic 2 for me.
The hype surrounding the run up to launch was crazy!
Getting it home and plugging it in was the stuff of dreams 😊

You know, it's been many years since I've fired up my Xbox to see my friends list all playing the same game (apart from my one mate who played nothing but Hexic lol) and it's fitting that it's Halo that will bring that back.
Knowing you always have a mate online ready to chat and play some Halo is one of the most exciting aspects for me. I cannot wait for a return to those beautiful Halo days of old 😍

Fantastic news.
My friends and I hit the seas like we always do on Friday nights and tried out the first of the new Tall Tales. Absolutely fantastic 😊
Not the usual 'anything could happen' you get from a typical night but the narrative focus was a great change of pace.
Some awesome set pieces, incredible music and stunning vistas. Can't wait to play the rest once they're fixed 😁

I'm really excited for this one I have to admit 😁

The Goonies!! 😍
My friends and I play this game every Friday night and it's an absolute blast.
Never a dull moment and there's always something that has us crying with laughter.
We've been playing since almost day one and have never got bored. If you have a group of like minded mates, I thoroughly recommend it ☺️

Absolutely gutted.
I was excited for this one but it's utterly horrific 😔
Don't play it. Even if it's free, it's just not worth your time.

Despite being hugely excited for this I have to agree with Royalblues above me, the game is utterly awful.
It's so bad infact that I have a hard time believing it was released at all.
As a big fan of the source material it's a bitter disappointment 😔

I don't think anyone was expecting anything groundbreaking.
As a big fan of the source material though it's a no brainer. It looks really fun 😁

Finished up Resident Evil VIllage then played the Tunic demo.
I'll also play some Halo, PSO2 and Like a Dragon too.

Halo. As a die hard fan of the series I absolutely cannot wait. It looks like 343 have nailed it which makes its arrival even more exciting 😁

I'll be getting one of these for sure!
With so many options though, how the hell do I decide what to get?! Haha

Whether the shows themselves are good or bad really doesn't matter too much to me.
What's important is the way E3 brings gamers together.
For the last few days my friends and I have been discussing this, that and everything in between. Making Top 5 lists, highs and lows etc.
While we also still discuss gaming daily, during E3 it has a special feeling to it ☺️

Is it finally happening? Is Xbox gonna actually sell in Japan?! Boy I hope so.
It'll be amazing to see those quirky Japanese titles that always come to PlayStation head to Xbox too 😊

Absolutely agree with this, both games look fantastic 😁

Incredible, absolutely incredible.
You know what guys, I think Halo is gonna be ok! 😊

This was a very pleasant surprise.
It looks like it'll be a very enjoyable game

Cannot wait for this! I held off and held off and I have been handsomely rewarded

What, no SS option? Haha
SO many great games on the way.
Games I'd happily buy, all coming to Gamepass. It really is insane! When was the last time you watched a show, saw 20 games you want, and won't have to pay for them. Insane.

Borderlands 1 & 2 were a couple of my absolute fave games ever, loved them both (although 2 is definitely the fave) but after 2 I had zero interest in playing another. Odd really but there we are 😊

I tried this out after hearing good things and watching the trailer. So glad I did, it's an absolutely fantastic game!
Thoroughly recommended 😊

One of last night's highlights this!
It looks very promising, can't wait to try it out 😁

The trailer looked good and previous games have been enjoyable.
Definitely one to keep an eye on 🤔

This is wonderful news. While gaming in some places is getting more and more expensive, Xbox trying to create even more value is a breath of fresh air.
Makes the Battlefield pricing seem even more egregious.

Absolutely mind-blowing stuff.
When Geoff was doing it's intro I was expecting to be disappointed, he was REALLY bigging it up.
But the second it started and I realised what was happening, goosebumps from head to toe! 😁
The trailer is phenomenal, utterly perfect and I have no reason to believe the game won't be too.
Miyazaki has never let us down 😊

That Borderlands 2 DLC was fantastic.
If they can capture that magic for a whole game I am definitely on board 😁

Looks very fun.
That finisher with the spade neck chop and head catapult was fantastic 😂

It'll almost certainly be a Phantom based system like we're all used to.
4 players sounds fascinating. I wonder how they'll balance the difficulty? Will it scale with 2+ people like MH Rise?
I'll certainly play it through alone for my first run. Not just for the challenge but to enjoy a more immersive experience 😊

It looks absolutely phenomenal.
I was expecting it to be great but that trailer has exceeded all my expectations.
Roll on January 😍

It was a varied and enjoyable show!
It's a solid A from me even without that final reveal.
That final trailer puts into SS tier 😍

Haha that trailer narrator made me chuckle more than I'm willing to admit 😂
Game looks fun and I love a bit of D&D. I'm in! 😁
