@ozkrmz Hi there friend.
I absolutely agree. Not only Lies of P is an amazing action rpg in terms of gameplay, visuals and characters, but the soundtrack alone has to be mentioned.
When you reach Rosa Isabelle Street and we eventualy start to listen to the Fascination song and face The White Lady......
It is Pure Bliss. One of my GOTYs for sure.
I need to play that game again. It is sooo good.
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers,
So I haven´t bought or played BG3, mostly because of many other games that I have and also because it was digital only......
But this physical Three Disc Deluxe Edition for the Xbox Series X version and for only 80€?
I mean, there is the cost of shipping, but still....
Even if its 100€ it is still totaly worth it.
Thank you PureXbox for the heads up, now I know wich Birthday Present I´m going to give myself.
Cheers and happy role play gaming everyone

Hi there fellow gamers,
I give Xbox's Year In 2023 a C overall.
Hi-Fi Rush was such a great way to start the year, but then it was a let down. Redfall was a disaster, Starfield underdelivered and Forza Motorsport is not what Forza Fans were expecting from what I´ve heard and seen.
On a very positive note, Game Pass is still the "GOAT" with great and diversified titles, some of them day one, and for that alone, once again, people see the great value of that subscriction.
If only Xbox Studios could also deliver, and now they have way to many, there is no more excuses to have.
Xbox, as a brand, needs its first party lineup to be fantastic and appealing, not for the masses, but for its FANS who just want to enjoy play games on their favourite system.
And as a FAN of of all things gaming, I just want those amazing, fun and engaging gaming experiences that brings myself and many others great joy.
Bring on the games Xbox.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
There are quite a lot of games I would love to play again for the first time, so I´m just going to name a few:

• Bioshock. For me, one of the best "next-gen" experiences I had during Xbox 360 glory years. The game is absolutly fantastic in every single way and me a fan. it is that good;
• Lost Odissey. I´ve said it before and I´ll say it again, this is still the "Final Fantasy" game that every PS and Nintendo fan wanted to play, but can´t..... Classical, traditional and great RPG;
• The Mass Effect trilogy. Even though I have play this trilogy..... 8 times by now (on 360, PS3 and PS5), I just can´t get enough of it. But that first time you play these games is magical;
• Last, but not least, Halo 3. Even though it was Halo 2 that got me super invested in the Halo franchise, you just can´t beat certain chapters of that game, especialy that final warthog run.
  That whole sequence, that plays homage of the first game, with the amazing score from Martin O´Donnell kicking in.....
  It is one of the most amazing gaming sequences I´ve experienced in a videogame, hands down. It is so good.
  Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hi there fellow gamers.
Just want to mention that Signalis is an awesome indie game that can be finished around 10 hours more or less depending on how you play the game, wich will also affect the different endings you can get.
It is a very interesting survival horror game with some clearly inspirations from Resident Evil and Sillent Hill and some very unique mechanics and twists along the way.
And make sure you continue the game after you finish it.
It will make sense once you get there, trust me.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hi there fellow gamers.
I think the ABK thing may eventually be good for Xbox ecosystem.
But for gamers on other platforms, well..... Only time will tell.
I can see Gamepass becoming even more apealling with more games being available there day one.
Can you imagine CoD day one on Gamepass? Absolutely crazy.
As for me, all I care about is good games, no matter the system. Xbox studios just got a whole lot more bigger.
Let´s hope they can finally start delivering the goods.
Xbox fans have been waiting very patiently for a steady stream of games, especially exclusives, and it´s about time they do.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

@Kraven Hey there friend
Sorry to hear you have Covid. Had it two weeks ago and it sucks. Hope you´ll get better.
From what I´ve seen and heard so far, Sea of Stars looks like an amazing love letter to old school rpgs, wich is fantastic.
And if the game have references to Sabotage other great game, The Messenger, then it´s even better.
Cheers and a quick recovery mate

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll will be mostly playing Starfield on my Series X and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5, since I´ll be leaving town for a week.
Wich means I´ll be all over my Switch and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
And once I return it will be MORTAL KOMBAT 1 (Cue the techno music MK theme).
Still need to check Sea of Stars and Baldurs Gate 3.
What a time to be a gamer. It´s almost to much. Almost.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to everyone

Hi fellow gamers.
Funny, I got the note from an enemy aboard a spaceport on either Earth or Luna. I saw it before landing and decided to dock. And there were some..... Altercations happening there, so I decided to join the fun 😜
@BBB I forgot that this is a thing in these games.
One good friend of mine would have a notepad full with what different skills, atributes and buffs and kept saves of them as well. This was during the Oblivion days. Time flies.
Really enjoying the game so far.
Cheers and all the best everyone

@Pranwell Hi there friend.
You can just do what I did.
Very early in the game there is a main quest mission were the "Boss" will start talking to you. From there you can presuade to avoid fighting, wich I did. Then after being successful I noticed that all the enemies were very close to some explosive barrels and..... I couldn´t help myself and shot the barrel.
Needless to say that I got the best of both worlds 😜
I love when games alow you to do stuff like that.
Cheers and have a good one

@HonestHick Hi there friend.
Saw your comment and just had to say, in the words of the Mandalorian, "This is the Way".
I am more of a PS guy myself, but I love many diferent types of games and this is why I own a PS5, a Switch and a Series X.
And like you said, not everyone can aford that many systems or even want to do so, but to me, I just have to be able to play Metroid, Zelda, Gears of War, Halo, Spiderman and The Last of Us, just to name a few.
In my opinion, people should just enjoy videogames for the entertainment and joy they provide instead on focussing on a dumb console war that does not matter.
On another note, Starfield, in the 3.5 hours I´ve played so far on my Series X seems to be a pretty good game.
Can´t wat to dive more over the weekend.
Cheers and enjoy the game people

@AlwaysPlaying @Pranwell Hi there friends;
The gaming backlog is indeed real.
I even have games still with the plastic on.
But even with Movies and Tv Shows, I´m still behind on so many of them.
I was only able to play and finish some games as well as watch some movies because I got sick with Covid and had to stay home for a week or so.
There is just not enough time to play and watch everything and have a job and social life.
Having said that, it is a very good thing that we have so many good quality things to play and watch these days.
Cheers and enjoy your gaming weekend

Hi there fellow gamers,
After finishing Final Fantasy XVI on PS5, I´ve been on a Xbox Series X craze and have played and finished a bunch of games available on Gamepass and some that I´ve purchased on sale.
And as of this weekend I´m still very much enjoying one of my favourite racing games of all time, Forza Horizon 5.
Other than that, I´ll be playing Street Fighter 6 on my PS5 and more Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch.
All that while I´m eagerly anticipating for Starfield to be available on Gamepass September 6th. Just a few more days.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend for us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
I actualy bought my OG Xbox mainly so I could play Ninja Gaiden.
Now I did got the system with other games like Shenmue 2, Fable, Dead or Alive 3 and Project Gotham Racing 2.
But Ninja Gaiden was "The Game" I truly wanted to play.
There is another system I bought because of one game as well, and that was the Nintendo Switch.
Just so I could play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There are other great games there sure, but that was, once again, "The Game".
Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hi there fellow gamers.
I am very excited to play Starfield.
It is one of the big ones of this stacked year and from the Direct alone, wich sold me on the game, we gamers might just have something special.
There is also a very cool youtube video were Adam Savage and his team build a real Starfield ship model, the Frontier.
Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuM_1xSQCFw
Just a few more weeks people. Getting close.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hi there fellow gamers, beem a while.
Bought a few more games on sale from the store:

• Resident Evil 2 and 3;
• Steelrising;
• Onimusha: Warlords;
• Castlevania Symphony of The Night;
• Mega Man X collection volume 1.
  Wich means, more games for the backlog, wich are quite a few.
  Oh, and I also bought the Forza Horizon 5 season Pass as well. Game is now almost 160 GB in storage space. Kinda insane.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming

Hi there fellow gamers.
InXile are speaking my gaming language;

• Deep RPG
• Full Character Creation
• Branching Dialogue System
• Awesome Steampunk Weapons
• Dark Humor
  I am all about this. No doubt they can deliver something great.
  With Bethesda, Obsidian and InXile in their rooster, Xbox is becoming a really interesting place for rpgs.
  And let´s not forget all the Atlus games coming to.
  It´s great to see it. Now if only Xbox could get Bioware of old....
  Cheers and happy rpg gaming to us all

@ZYDIO Hi there friend.
I see no lack of games, only lack of time to play everything that has launched and will launch this year alone.
24 hours is just not enough anymore.
Is there a way to get some permanent vactions?
Or some way to mess around with the Sands of Time?(one of my favourite games, by the way).
Cause if not I just don´t know how am I going to have enough time available to play all those games.
And there are more to come.
I always knew I was going to play videogames until I´m very old.
This just confirms it 🤣
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
This showcase was what I wanted the Playstation showcase to be about.
Lots of first party titles, even if some were just updates.
And some good quality third party titles as well.
My personal highlight are:

• Fable. It´s finally back after so long;
• 33 Immortals. That just pretty and fun;
• Microsoft Flight Simulator. I am not into flight sims, but that was very impressive. And I saw my country Portugal represented with the airport. Very nice;
• Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Capcom continues to deliver the goodies. A brand new ip. Did not se that one coming;
• Jusant. Don´t Nod somehow never fails to impress me;
• Dungeons of Hinterberg. Never heard of it, but I really want to know more about it;
• Clockwork Revolution. It kinda feels like an InXile Bioshock game and I´m all here for it;
• Metaphor: ReFantazio. Finally Atlus revealed their new rpg project and it looks good. Can´t wait to learn more;
• Starfield..... I haven´t even begin to process all the info dump Bethesda gave us in their direct. Waht a massive and ambitious game they have made.
  We just might be playing Starfield for 10 years and not be fully done.
  Over all, I give it an A minus. I needed to see proper Hellblade 2 gameplay and Avowed didn´t impress me.
  But a really good showcase nonetheless.
  Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

@BobCoffee @Kaloudz Hi there friends.
One can only hope that my most wanted and anticipated MetroidVania sequel game will not only be showned but also get a release date.
Actualy, I just need the release date. That´s all I need.
Come on Team Cherry. Gives us some good news.
Cheers guys

Hi there fellow gamers.
Capcom is indeed coming back to their glory days of old.
Not only they are making many different games, but they all look good (minus Exoprimal, for me at least).
One of the very nice surprises of this really good showcase.
Now, where is Pragmata Capcom? I want to know more of that.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers:
So I was one of the people that really wanted Starfield to impress and convince me...... Well, I´m convinced.
Convinced I may lose my entire social life if I decide to take this game seriously.
My Good God, is this game ambitious or what?
Everything they showed, and they showed a lot, was so much better than the initial trailer.
The gameplay looks better, the exploration, the companions, the customization and character creation options, the environments...... The scale is Massive.
I thought Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom was big, but this.... This is on another level entirely.
If somehow Bethesda can launch this game without any glaring issues or the many bugs and problems their games usually have, this just might be GOTY material no doubt.
Resident Evil 4 R, Dead Space R, Hi-Fi Rush, Jedi Survivor, Diablo 4, Zelda TOTK, Spiderman 2, Final Fantasy XVI, Alan Wake 2, The Lords of the Fallen, Forza Motorsport and Starfield.
What an amazing year to be a gamer. Minus social life 😜
Cheers and happy gaming folks

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about STREET FIGHTER 6, both World Tour mode and Online matches.
See you guys there.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers.
So, having played every single MGS, including Rising, I have to say that my personal favourite is actually MGS3 Snake Eater, wich is why I was and still am in shock that a Remake of my personal favourite MGS game is actually real.
Having said that, I have to mention MGS1 wich has a personal space in my heart.
Why? Because that was the game that made see not only the evolution of videogames, but also made understand that this medium could be something more, especially in narrative, characters and storytelling.
And also introduced me to one of my favourite videogame characters with Solid Snake and Naked Snake AKA, Big Boss.
Man, I have played these games so many times that I have actually memorized most of the characters lines of dialogue I kid you not. I am that much of a Fan of this franchise.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

@BRT15 Hey there friend and thanks for the reply.
Like I said before, the Directors Cut as well as the leviathan dlc really did help with the final mission and the multiple game endings.
Wich is why I did enjoyed the last two times I played the game.
But then again, I´m a huge ME fan. I can play these games any time, especially when there is nothing grabing me or when I need some confort and see some familiar faces.
Very glad you enoyed it. ME3 has so many great moments and seeing everyone coming together to help fight the Reapers in the end is indeed one of them.
Man I Love this franchise so much.
Hope Bioware will be able to deliver a good ME in the future.
Cheers and take care

Hi there fellow gamers.
Just like @themightyant said, I also have a soft spot for the Xbox 360 controller, mostly because I loved my 360 back in the day. And I do like my Xbox One PC controller as well.
But as for my favourite it has to be the Series X controller.
Why? One simple reason: The D-pad is actually good. Not great, but good enough so I can play Guilty Gear Strive, Killer Instinct and Samurai Shodown on my Series X.
The trigers have always been good, as well as the analog sticks, even if they are not in a symmetrical configuration.
By the way, I must have been lucky since I never got the Ring of death on my two Xbox 360 consoles.
Of all the gaming systems that I owned, only my original PS3 failed me. It even got my Dragon Age disc.
Had to start all over again on PC.
Cheers and happy gaming folks

@BRT15 Hey friend and thanks for the article.
This is just my kind of reading.
Yeah, this trilogy is one of a kind with player choices that mean something, but also matter in the next games.
It is the reason why it has so much replayability and one of the reasons why I have finished the ME trilogy so many times.
Cheers and all the best

@BRT15 Hey friend.
If your playing the Legendary Editon, then you have all the dlc as well as the Directors Cut wich was added after the game was out.
As for the endings...... I didn´t know what to think at first.
Had a lot of conversations with friends of mine that also played to finish and it was weird. We felt a little lost.
I´m not gonna spoil anything though. I hate spoilers myself.
All I´m going to say is that the Directors Cut and the other dlc, such as Leviathan did help quite a bit.
And when I last finished the Legendary Edition, it actually felt good. Not great, but good.
The Citadel dlc also helps a lot in my opinion.
One of the best and funniest dlc I´ve played.
I sugest you play that for last, before the point of no return.
Cheers mate

@BRT15 Hi there friend.
Another Mass Effect fan in the making perhaps?
I´m a huge fan of the franchise, especially the the original trilogy.
So much so that I played 3 times on Xbox 360, 3 times on PS3 and two more times on PS5 with the Legendary Edition.
Yeah, I´m that kind of person.
Mass Effect 3 jorney is fantastic. Hopefully you have all the dlc, especially From Ashes dlc and The Citadel dlc.
Both are a absolute must for a more enjoyable and very amusing playtrough.
Cheers and have a good one. I should go 😜

Hi there fellow gamers.
STREET FIGHTER 6 OPEN BETA....... That´s it for the weekend 😉
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Kaloudz Hey there friend.
No, not really. I would say only the ending, since something happens in the end that does concern The Surge 2 and you might meet someone from the first game, but for the story of the game itself there is no issue.
Pity you weren´t able to get it though.
I enjoyed the game on PC so much that I bought it on both PS5 and Series X when it was cheap.
I know, I´m weird, but I tend to do that to games I just love playing, especially, when I can do multiple playtroughs in different ways and get different playstyles and outcomes.
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
Have to agree completly with @UndyingInsurgent95 comment.
The Surge 2 is a proper sequel that actualy improves over it´s predecessor.
Really good combat mechanics and the cut the limbs system to either get new weapons, armour pieces and materials never gets old.
At least for me that is.
I´m sure @Kaloudz is going to like it.
You can make some unique builds with strong defense and fast weapons if you so want. And it´s easy to farm them to.
I mean, you still have to beat the enemies though 😉
As for The Lords of the Fallen game, I´m a big Souls-like fan and I love the art direction and flow of combat.
Another action rpg to tackle. Can´t wait.
Cheers and happy gaming to you both

@anoyonmus Hi there friend.
Oops, my bad 😜
SFV was so lackluster when it came out, that I stoped playing the game and sold it.
Only when Season 3 arrived with the Arcade Edition, that I eventualy bought the game back and had some fun with it.
From what we´ve seen so far, I beleive SF6 will deliver.
Hopefuly Mortal Kombat 1 will also be a fantastic game.
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
What a year for fighting games it´s turning out to be.
With Street Fighter 6 on June, Mortal Kombat 1 on September and Tekken 8 on the horizon.
Now for a proper gameplay trailer...... Maybe on the Playstation showcase next week orr the Xbox showcase next month or even the Summer Game Fest perhaps??? Hopefuly in one of these three events.
Can´t wait to see more.
Cheers, and happy gaming folks

Hi there fellow gamers.
Not only am I still playing FH5 on my Series X, but it has been my go to racing game ever since playing GT7 on my PS5.
My very first was FH4 the complete version on PC and really enjoyed it.
But playing FH5 on a big 4K screen makes all the difference.
Plus you don´t drive on the wrong side of the road 😜
After I advance a bit more, I´ll probably get the games DLC.
Cheers and happy gaming folks

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing more of the great (even with tech issues) Jedi Survivor on my PS5. I love how much improved it is from Fallen Order.
I´ll also be playing more Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X. That game is just fun.
Oh, and a little game called The Legend of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom on my Switch. As soon as I started playing, I had the almost exact feeling and tought in my head, that this is going to be a really good game that will last me for months, if not years, just like it was with Breath Of The Wild.
It´s games like the ones that I mention that makes me so glad to be a gamer. I love this medium so much.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend to us all

@Markatron84 Hi there friend;
Yeah, the cross-play open beta is still active on all platforms. it does work, at least so far.
Also the matchmaking issues do seem to have been adressed.
It feels great to finally go back and do some matches with my main team with Ryo, Kim and Gato.
Cheers and happy gaming

@Microbius Hi there friend;
True. That might be exactly what the creature is thinking as it´s munching on Cal´s dead body (That got a little dark) every time it grabs him, wich happens a lot because of the auto tracking that enemies have......
And since I got all the trophies/achievements for Fallen Order on the same difficulty, I decided to do the same with Survivor.
other than that, really good videogame though.

Oh, by the way, that Boss in the articles picture, on Jedi Grand Master difficulty, is no joke. One grab and game over 😜

Hi there fellow gamers, been a while;
This weekend I´ll be playing Jedi Survivor on my PS5, loving it so far even though there are some performance issues in the more open areas of the game.
And I´ll also be playing the KOFXV open cross play beta and Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X.
It´s been great coming back to FH5, doing some exploration and some races. And as for KOFXV I´m just hoping they can finally fix the matchmaking problems on all platforms.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
Chosing only one favourite halo game is kinda though, so I´ll cheat and mention a few more 😜

• Halo 2 Aniversary edition. The Halo game that really got me in terms of gameplay, storytelling, characters and atmosphere;
• Halo Reach. There is just something about this game that made me love it completely. In my opinion, one of the best Bungie games ever;
• Halo Infinite. Not only I enjoyed the gameplay, with all the new weapons and the new grapling hook mechanics, but also enjoyed what they did with the story this time, wich is saying a lot since Halo 5: Guardians was such a mess in that regard.
  Honrable mentions:
• Halo 3;
• Halo 4;
• Halo CE.
  And these are my personal picks.
  Cheers, stay safe and well and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
After finishing Halo Infinte´s campaign, and really enjoyed it, I was still craving some FPS action and decided to finally play DOOM Eternal and it is as fun as the previous one.
But then I remember this weekend is the Guilty Gear Strive cross play beta, wich means is GGS weekend on my Series X!
I´m having a blast playing with one of my mains Ky Kiske.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
This is great news and pretty cool for every Xbox user.
Guilty Gear Strive is one of the best looking fighting games of all time and has many fans, myself included.
It also has really good gameplay mechanics, crazy characters and combos and it can be very fun in a casual way.
Even though I have this game on my PS5, I´m giving it a try on my Series X this weekend.
Let´s give it a go people.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
So Redfall needs a constant online connection to be able to play even in singleplayer? And a Bethesda.net account?
Not only it doesn´t make any sense as many of you have mentioned with reason, but they just lost a purchase from me.
Another Gamepass only game I guess.....
If this is the future of gaming, it´s not very bright in my oppinion.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
I am very much excited for a new Gears game, especially since the ending and "that choice" in the end of Gears 5.
I have no idea how The Coalition is going to make either choice to significantly impact the next game story, but I am very curious.
Like some of yiu have mentioned, Gears of War is one of my favourite Xbox franchises, along side Forza and now Halo,
so I´m just hoping they can continue to deliver another hit.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

@EvenStephen7 Hi there friend;
As soon as I saw this news thought the exact same thing.
Test Drive Unlimited on 360 was the other game that made love racing games altogether. And it is the same island and everything.
I might just get the game for that alone.
And it looks pretty good. Maybe not FH5 good, but still.
But if it has some of the side activities that TDU had, then it is a no brainer for me.
Curious to see more of the game now.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and have a good one friend

Hi there fellow gamers;
Man, this game looks very cool.
I love what they´re doing with the art style of the game and you can clearly see different builds and either co-op or summoning.
But this is the line that get´s me: "featuring colossal boss battles, fast challenging combat, thrilling character encounters, and deep, immersive storytelling." I am all about this right here!
Really hope the studio can deliver on this one.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
This is how you should do a gaming showcase. I give it an B+.
Devs talking passionately about their games, showing and explaning how the game works and plays and giving us a release date (except for Forza) 😜
But yeah, presentation wise, the pacing, the style, saying their gonna talk about 4 games and then we see 5 with a surprise by debuting a brand new game from another game studio.
And even though I´m not a Minecraft nor Elder Scrools Online fan, I still watched the whole show simply because it´s always cool to learn more about videogames.
Great presentation Microsoft.
More like this one, please and thank you.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
Man Arkane is such a talented game studio.
It´s one gem after the next, after the next.
Dishonored, Prey, Dishonored 2, Deathloop and now Redfall
Been playing Arkane games ever since their first game and loving every second of their amazing level design, crazy powers and weapons as well a some cool characters and interesting stories.
I cannot wait for to play Redfall on May 2nd, explore the game world and slay all the vampires in my path.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all
