The self-proclaimed dream team of Gareth, Paul and Richard are present for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 142, with all sorts on the agenda this week. Expect to hear about the downfall of Stadia and the future plans of CD Projekt Red, as well as a whole load of opinions on new games including JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle R and The Diofield Chronicle. So, please settle down and enjoy our musings.
Ah 2023. The year of every game under the sun. The twelve months in which pretty much every single game previously announced is due to release. 2023 is getting better still though, especially if you're a younger gamer, as Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart has been revealed. Â
Whilst the Pumps N’ Hoses DLC may sound like something coming to Saints Row, it’s in fact a very innocent expansion to the cult classic that is Farming Simulator 22. Get your mind out of that gutter.
In a collaboration perhaps not many people saw coming, one of Britain’s finest supercar manufacturers is launching onto the PUBG battlefield today. That’s right, McLaren are making their mark on the world of PUBG, as part of Update 19.2 coming to consoles today
Another week and TheXboxHub's A-Team get together to chat over the latest news and reviews from the world of gaming. We may be focused on the Xbox life, but you'll find us dipping into that of PlayStation, Switch, PC and more too. Episode 139 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast does just that - with focus on the latest Ubisoft Forward showcase, along with the Disney and Marvel events.
After recently releasing on Google Stadia, it's time for the 13AM Games team to deliver their cooperative kaiju beat ‘em up to other formats. If you're a gamer who deals in Xbox, PlayStation, Switch or PC play, it's time to bear witness the Dawn of the Monsters.Â
We've seen Ubisoft deliver a number of new gameplay opportunities to fans of Assassin's Creed over the years, and with the introduction of Valhalla back in 2020, that trend has continued. Today though it's all about the most ambitious expansion for Assassin's Creed yet as we take in the Dawn of Ragnarök.Â
Daunting battles, enticing loot and a bunch of unlikely teens who are looking to save their guardian and the wider world. There's much going on in the RPG beat 'em up that is Young Souls, as it arrives on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC and Game Pass.Â
It's a game with a bit of a cult following; an experience that has evolved and expanded massively over time. Today though Dead by Daylight players get access to the 23rd new addition to the game, as the unspeakable horrors of Ringu and Sadako Rising are unleashed on the world.Â
Just recently it was revealed that the follow-up to Submerged, the previous Google Stadia exclusive Submerged: Hidden Depths, was coming to other formats - Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Given the platform's decline, this came as little surprise. Anyhow, I’ve been hands on via Xbox to see how the sequel to the original relaxplorathon is shaping up.
Lumote has been doing the rounds on PC for a little while already, picking up some critical acclaim in the process. Now though the super-colourful, highly-intriguing puzzle platformer is gearing up for full launch on PC, Stadia and console - with a March 2022 release date now confirmed for Lumote: The Mastermote Chronicles.
The Life is Strange franchise is one that has rarely failed to deliver. Having started way back in 2015 when episodic storytelling was all the rage, it's gone through multiple variations, telling tales as it does so. Today though it's time to go back to where it all started with Life is Strange and the spin-off from that, Before the Storm. But why? Well, because they make up the entirety of the Life is Strange Remastered Collection.Â
When a game is so simple to start playing, so difficult to master, and almost impossible to put down, you know you are onto a winner. Just look at the likes of Rocket League and you see what I mean. Now developers Dotemu - of Streets of Rage 4 fame - are looking to replicate that winning formula by bringing back a cult classic from 1994 - Windjammers!
Zombies came and went, then dinosaurs had a brief stint in the limelight, and now it seems aliens are making a resurgence as the big bad in video games. As well as Aliens: Fireteam Elite and the recent The Anacrusis both pitting a squad of heroes against some truly terrifying aliens, now it's the turn of Rainbow Six to put their squabbles aside and face a new threat in Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction.
PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has undergone its fair share of changes in the four years it has been available, from its inception in December 2017, into its transition onto consoles in 2018, to the hugely popular PUBG Mobile. The game that for some kickstarted the battle royale genre is now morphing into what might be its most significant form yet. That’s right, PUBG is free-to-play!
As has become customary to FIFA players over the years, every Wednesday at 6pm (UK time) we are treated to some brand new cards in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT). Rewarded for their performances in real-world matches as of late, a squad of players have special in-form cards bestowed upon them, with boosted stats. This squad is the Team of the Week (TOTW), and in its 16th edition in FIFA 22, let’s see who made the cut.
When Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid rolled into view back in the early months of 2019, we felt it was lacking a little something. Thankfully the teams nWay and Lionsgate Games agreed with those sentiments as they've gone about filling things out ever since. Today they continue that push, with Rita Repulsa the latest to join the battle roster.Â
