Xbox Series X News

There is no E3 this year but Summer Game Fest looks like it’ll be taking over. There will be updates from over 40+ partners, publishers and developers, at the event. We have some thoughts on the event below. Summer Game Fest has been a mixed bag in the past. There have been some good things announced and some alright things. This year is looking a bit better however since some Japanese developers will be there too. Playstation, Sega, Capcom, Square…

Last week I asked where the hype for Redfall was. Then the reviews were released. It has not fared well, and that’s not good news for Xbox. The Metacritic score currently sits at 64 on Xbox Series X and 62 on PC. Commentary on the game is, to say the least, mixed. Multiple outlets are talking about failed experiments, trying to venture into the wrong genre and Arkane ignoring their own design principles to bring in a multiplayer element. There…

Star Wars Jedi Survivor isn’t the only video game Star Wars experience at the moment. Star Wars will be joining Fortnite! Check out the trailer below. When Fortnite first came to Nintendo Switch, I got into it a little. Eventually, I wandered away from it though. And now…Star Wars has joined the latest battle pass for Fortnite. It looks amazing too! I especially think Darth Maul looks cool in Fortnite, but all of the other characters looks neat too. Will…

Is the merger between Microsoft and Activision dead? The short answer might just be yes, but things are never that simple. There’s always been one major threat to this purchase, which has been going on nearly 18 months now. That was the UK’s CMA finding a reason to block it. Well, the CMA found a reason to block it. The CMA cannot really be challenged. At best Microsoft might get them to look at it again, and the same conclusion…

A brand new Star Wars game, Jedi Survivor, is out right now. I haven’t had the chance to play that game yet, but I did start playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order (the prequel to Survivor) recently. I thought I’d talk about that a bit. Back in 2020, I talked about Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and how much I liked it. It was one of my favorite games of 2019! And so you’d think I would’ve have finished it……

Redfall is coming out tomorrow for the Xbox Series X/S. Check out the official launch trailer for the game. Redfall is coming out tomorrow (5/2) for the Xbox Series X/S. It will be available on Game Pass! Will you be checking it out?…

It seems we’ve been really quiet about the upcoming Redfall here at GamesReviews and we’re not alone. It doesn’t seem like it’s getting the hype of other big games. There’s a lot of reasons that might be. Starfield was the next big Bethesda release, until it wasn’t. And now Redfall seems to be being compared to that, in terms of its “place” within the Xbox release schedule. That’s a lot of pressure to put onto a game that is in…

Microsoft are having a busy year so far, but the ghost of all those long-announced but distant games still massively linger. Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3 and, yes, Fable. Well, good news for those who are waiting for information on the latter. Fable has hit its ‘flighting’ phase. Considering rumours not that long ago that there was barely any game, the fact that tests are going ahead is good news. A LinkedIn update revealed the news, as shared by…

The discussion on DLC is always a bit biased, and it’s been the same for the announcement of Elvish-language DLC for the upcoming Lord of the Rings: Gollum game. I think it’s pretty cool. Elves in the game speak a bit of their own language, Sindarin. Well, purchasing this DLC adds more of it to the game, which is due at the end of May. It’s optional, included in the special edition and beats a random costume or digital art…

Perhaps it was inevitable. Maybe it’s down to personal choice. Whatever the reason, the result is the same. I have stopped playing Overwatch 2. And there’s not much that could bring me back. It’s not unusual to burn out on a game, especially one you’ve played for hundreds of hours. And across the two iterations of this franchise, I have put in a lot of time. And it’s still, fundamentally, a fantastic experience. Once a game starts, and it starts…
