Some of last generation’s most memorable experiences fell somewhere between the indie and AAA spaces – games that offered something unpolished yet still remarkable, or that were just plain fun from start to finish. Zombie Army 4: Dead War harkens back to those games with the video game equivalent of a hearty meal at Five Guys: solid ingredients assembled to make a particularly scrumptious bit of interactive comfort food....

In recent years, Nintendo and Microsoft have built a stronger relationship than the two companies had in the past, and in doing so, have made things possible that would have never happened otherwise. For example, the Microsoft-owned characters Banjo-Kazooie are now in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and some Xbox Game Studios-published titles have been ported to the Nintendo Switch. This includes Ori and the Blind Forest, which actually performs better on Switch than anywhere else....
Combined sales of the Xbox Series X and S consoles gave Microsoft its biggest March in terms of hardware revenue for a decade. Xbox Series X/S led the US console market in March - and cumulatively over the year’s first quarter - in terms of dollar sales, according to numbers from analytics firm NPD. However, Nintendo Switch still was the US’ best-selling console in terms of units sold, in March and across 2022 to date....
Microsoft has released a new update for its Xbox App on PC. Some new features, which Microsoft revealed on its official Xbox website, included a 15% launch speed increase, squishing some bugs, and faster search results. Arguably the most significant new addition is integrating with HowLongToBeat.com. The website, as its name implies, gives users an estimate of how long it will take to finish a game, whether you’re b-lining in the end or you choose to take on some side missions along the way....

Do not adjust your screen. What you are seeing is an English-style breakfast recreated in Dreams. They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Most of us skip breakfast, and honestly, we shouldn’t. Especially when breakfast can look like this. Starting from left to right, we have slices of ham followed by grilled mushrooms. Then we have French toast with a pair of fried eggs on top right next to some baked beans and sauces....
It’s a new day, and you know what that means - time to work out the Wordle answer for today, 16th August.

The latter is why working out today’s Wordle answer is such a priority, as players pride themselves on keeping their streak going....
World War Z developer Saber Interactive has exhumed a grisly new trailer for its upcoming brain-splattering zombie romp.

To be fair, you wouldn’t really expect George Romero’s slow-moving zombies in a World War Z game, right?...

In celebration of the Xbox One Backward Compatibility catalogue expanding to more than 300 games, Microsoft is offering Mistwalker’s Xbox 360 RPG Lost Odyssey free until the year end. Furthermore, Lost Odyssey is also now playable via Xbox One via digital download, and is joined by Mistwalker’s other Xbox 360 title Blue Dragon. Both titles had previously been limited to disc-only backwards compatibility.
