Xbox Game Pass has been a pretty sweet service so far, with Microsoft’s Netflix-style game subscription allowing players access to a wide library for a monthly fee. While Game Pass got some big games in January, it appears that even more major titles are set to join the lineup next month. Over on Twitter, the official Xbox Game Pass account teased that February will be a big month for the service....
As far as JRPGs go, the Xenosaga trilogy hasn’t aged as gracefully as some other major franchises, but that hasn’t stopped it from developing a dedicated cult following. That following’s support helped Xenosaga developer Monolith Soft evolve, with the studio going on to develop the much more popular and critically acclaimed Xenoblade Chronicles series. Yet some fans still look back on Xenosaga with stars in their eyes, wondering whether Xenosaga might ever get the HD remaster treatment other classic JRPGs have....
After a seven year wait, Gearbox Software has finally returned to the world of Borderlands with its third installment in the long running looter shooter. Borderlands 3 advances the story line forward and introduces a lot of quality of life updates while also managing to stay true to what people love about the series as a whole. New and old characters converge in Borderlands 3 including a few from Telltale’s spin-off series, Tales from the Borderlands....
Riot Games has today launched Valorant’s new Episode, which brings a bunch of fresh content to the game. The update is now live in the U.S and will automatically boot, download, and install after loading the game client. Sometimes, though, it can really take a while to finish. If you’re wondering why the Valorant update is so slow, then here’s what you need to know. Why Is Valorant Update Downloading Slowly?...
On July 15, Nintendo will add The Immortal to Nintendo Switch Online’s ever-growing collection of retro games. As a free game (outside of the subscription price of Nintendo Switch Online, of course) that initially appeals with its “side of the van” cover art and promises of dungeon crawler gameplay, I imagine that you may be tempted to try it. That’s why I feel obligated to warn you now that The Immortal is not the innocent NES game that it appears to be....
One of the big questions on every gamer’s mind when they consider hopping into a brand new IP tends to be how long is it? Thankfully, Koei Tecmo and EA are being pretty upfront about their new hunting title, Wild Hearts, even providing an answer to just how long the gameplay will be at a recent preview event. When asked how long Wild Hearts would be, EA Originals Executive Producer Lewis Harvey revealed that the title’s main story would be around 30 hours long....
The biggest news that made waves on the internet was the fact that Microsoft was open to purchase Discord for a price of $10 Billion dollars, but as the day grew ever since the news was released, a growing sense of fear crept in the minds of people who have been using Microsoft products about whether Microsoft would do the same thing it did for Skype and ruin it for people all over the world....
Team 17 has announced that Worms W.M.D will be exploding onto the Nintendo Switch later this year. This’ll be the first Worms title on a Nintendo console in over seven years and Team 17 is back with a vengeance.

Players will soon be able to indulge in the game’s cartoon violence, including campaign missions, randomised levels, multiplayer modes including Liberation and the fan favourite Forts mode....
Limited edition Xbox-branded Oreo packs will let you unlock cosmetic rewards in Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 and Sea of Thieves. Each Oreo cookie contained in the brand’s special Xbox packs will be stamped with a design that features one of several controller buttons - A, B, X and Y, plus a directional arrow. The idea here is that these button combinations can be arranged, cheat code style, into codes which you can redeem on the Xbox Oreo website for the cosmetics in question....
Xbox has confirmed it’s working on a standalone Xbox Cloud Gaming device, but it seems we won’t be getting it as soon as we thought. Rumours earlier this month claimed that Xbox was working on a stick similar to Google Stadia, and could release it later this year. However, Windows Central has now reported that while the device does exist, Microsoft has now made the decision to explore other avenues first....
One of the best things about video games are the weapons. There’s nothing better than getting your hands on a weapon that is flashy, super powerful, or just really, really cool-looking. But a lot of times, the cool weapons that we see in games aren’t quite as good in real life. Here are just a few video game weapons whose real life versions don’t quite measure up. Desert Eagle Don’t worry, we’ll get to more exciting weapons later, but this one is a particularly egregious example....
For fans of Spike Chunsoft and those deadly escape games, you will now have one more platform to enjoy yourself on. The Zero Escape: The Nonary Games compilation that includes 999 and Virtue’s Last Reward is now available on Xbox consoles and Windows 10. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can also enjoy the game for free. Unfortunately, that also means the final game in the trilogy, Zero Time Dilemma, will have to be found elsewhere....

So if your budget allows it, here’s why I think ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3070 Ti AMP Extreme Holo is the card to go for, in this review....
Frank West is a very busy man; he covers wars, slays hordes of the undead and even finds the time to drop by and make a few appearances in several other games. His next appearance may be a triumphant return to the series that introduced the bad-ass photo journalist to the world. A blurry photo (above) showed up in a post on Tape It or Die, Capcom’s viral Dead Rising 2 site, where a Fortune City survivor by the name of Johnny Pipes documents his adventures in zombie watching....
Trying to wake your brain up this Sunday morning with a puzzle? Then we can help you with the Wordle answer for today, 24th July. For the uninitiated, the aim of Wordle is to work out a daily five-letter word within six guesses. The fewer the guesses, the better - and if you fail to guess it at all, you’ll break your streak.

World War Z, the zombie killin’ game based on the eponymous movie (in turn loosely adapted from the book), is free on the Epic Games Store. It’s not just a free weekend, either. The game is free to download and yours to own for all time. It’s usually $34.99, so it’s a pretty good deal if you’re looking for a co-op shooter to spend a few hours in. Plus, you’ll be able to play it even with friends on consoles thanks to the crossplay update....
After taking one year out to get its stuff together, the WWE 2K series recently made its triumphant return to the ring. WWE 2K22 improves on its predecessor in just about every measurable way and marks a real return to form for the long-running series. It may not be the best WWE game ever, but it’s really not too far off and is easily the best-looking one to date. This dramatic increase in quality will no doubt lead to more sales, which, in turn, means more new players....
