On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, you’ll find that the game has been spruced up nicely, with more options being available on Xbox.

Microsoft is now poised to be the leading name in western role-playing games. Alongside Bethesda, it also has experienced studios such as Obsidian and InXile Entertainment under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella. That’s a lot of RPG experience right there, which will pay off in the years to come.

I’m naturally quivering with delight as Hitman 3 is mere days away now, and y’all know how I have a fondness for digitally murdering horrible people and making their accidents look like bizarre accidents designed by a higher power. In addition to that, Xbox kicks off the year with an exclusive of its own, the dual-reality terror of The Medium. Time to see just how well the new SSD tech in the Xbox Series X and S consoles handle the ability to simultaneously explore reality and the afterlife.

Tis the season…to celebrate video games! It has been a monumental year for gaming, and even though the vastly superior (and infinitely cheaper to produce) Critical Hit Game Awards are in full swing, I’ll give some credit to that Geoff Keighley fella who puts on an alright show every year. Even if he does steal all my guests who I invite to the Crit awards. I mean my mom even made Bovril sammiches with the crusts sliced off this year, but no one rocked up.

Microsoft has a few ace offerings being added to its Game Pass service, a smattering of games that will consume your hours and finally allow you to fuse with your chair in an unholy union of fibers and butt.

Ironic that you can play old God of War games on the new Xbox rather than on the PS5 but really, that’s what we’ve come to expect from Sony.

Stability! That’s the name of Sony’s game whenever a new system update pops up, while Microsoft is instead going for a more substantial retooling to its snappy console operating system. Said update is now out, and for the price of 700 of your most mega of bytes, you’ll be able to grab some cool features.

The Falconeer starts off as a fun, original take on aerial combat but quickly turns into a boring exercise in repetition that even a mysterious and interesting world can’t save.
