Xbox will host its E3 media briefing on Sunday June 11 at 11pm BST, Microsoft has announced. A Tweet from Xbox told fans to “brace for big news” and included the same Scorpio render we’re seen since the system was announced at E3 2016. Although Xbox has been pretty secretive over when it will fully reveal the new Scorpio console it seems likely we’ll get our first proper look at the hardware and its capabilities during the briefing....

If you’re an Xbox Live Gold or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriber in search of some video-game-shaped entertainment this weekend, you might want to point yourself in the direction of your Xbox, where Yakuza spin-off Lost Judgment, city builder Before We Leave, and Far Cry 6 are all free to play for a limited time. Lost Judgment is the sequel to 2018’s Judgment, and sees the return of protagonist Takayuki Yagami, an ex-defence-attorney turned private detective, for an possibly even more sprawling open-world adventure through Kamurocho and Isezaki Ijincho....
Xbox has unveiled the four offerings for Xbox Games With Gold subscribers for May 2022. The first of these is the excellent Yoku’s Island Express.

Legendary anime film director Makoto Shinkai is at it again. His last two films, Weathering With You and Your Name, both sit in the list of the top 10 highest-grossing anime films worldwide. Your Name is third, and Weathering With You is seventh. However, it certainly looks like that might change with his new film Suzume. According to Crunchyroll, Suzume has seen the highest Japanese box office opening of any Makoto Shinkai film to date....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Infinity Ward’s reboot of its classic sub-series arc, is the sixteenth Call of Duty game to date. Just like its predecessors in the Modern Warfare arc, the latest title is set in the present day, though it features a darker and more grounded story than previous games. With the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare being a soft reboot, the timeline of the four titles in the arc can get a little confusing, so before we go any further, here’s how they’re laid out:...

So today, if you are planning to yet your answers in the second or third turn, and share your results with the community, then you are at the right place....
If anything, I’m a little surprised that World of Horror didn’t come out a week sooner. It’s a game in which you try to make informed choices and – depending on your luck, stats, and items – you may end up losing health or going insane. Which seems perfect for– oh, hang on. Okay, no, sorry. I’ve been told that jokes about Valentine’s Day are very last decade. Regardless, that’s a pretty good summary of how World of Horror plays....

Valentine’s Day—or to use its far superior traditional name, ‘The Birds’ Wedding Day’ (the day when pigeons start spinning around like ice-skaters on bungalow rooftops in an attempt to attract a mate. Honestly, ask Chaucer)—is approaching. Forget pricy set menus and spa hotel mini-breaks, you only need two things: a takeaway and a television. This week on said television, you can take your loved one/favourite sobbing cushion into space, back to the 1960s, inside a German U-boat, to a mysterious Swedish island or to the equally mysterious… Birmingham....
There’s a strong argument to be made that were it not for the PlayStation 4’s hugely impressive selection of exclusive titles, the console would not have performed anywhere near as well as it did. Microsoft did attempt to even the playing field in this respect and was able to secure plenty of big-budget titles exclusively for the Xbox One. Try as the tech giant might though, it never really managed to find a true competitor to Naughty Dog’s excellent Uncharted series....

In terms of its content, The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Nintendo Switch is mostly identical to the original version of the game that was released on the Game Boy in 1993. The game has received a graphical overhaul, a new soundtrack, and some quality of life improvements. However, the story and the locations are mostly the same. The major addition to The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is a dungeon creator mode that involves Dampé, which has replaced the photograph collecting quest from The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX....
Burnout was once a leading racing franchise with unique mechanics that separated it from the pack. The series began in 2001, but really made an impact on its third title. Burnout 3: Takedown was critically acclaimed, and set a new bar for the series. From this point on, Need for Speed had a rival in the market. Perhaps so much so that Devs of Need for Speed still don’t want to be compared to Burnout....
Willy Jetman: Astromonkey’s Revenge, a new action platformer by freshman developer Last Chicken Games, touts itself as a game that hearkens back to the console classics of the 90s. In its quest to fulfill that promise, it provides leans on a somewhat retro aesthetic, a high difficulty, and plenty of references to classic games of the 80s and 90s. It’s not as polished as the games it tries to evoke, but it still manages to put together a delightful, if uneven adventure that has more strengths than flaws....
