• Episode 289 | "Happy 20th Anniversary, Xbox 360!"

  It's a special show this week. Not only are there plenty of great games to talk about thanks to a rather great Partner Preview from the Xbox team, but our favourite son has just turned 20 years old! Let's celebrate the Xbox 360 Anniversary in style in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 289!There's plenty of reason to celebrate this week, nostalgic birthday's aside. Xbox threw one hell of a Partner Preview, that revealed a ton of great looking games. It saw the arrival of the very addictive and utterly charming Dave The Diver on Xbox for the first time, and the team have been playing tons of great games, from the Geometry Wars-like Sektori, R-Type Delta HD Boosted and recent Xbox additions like Clover Pit and Neon Inferno. Jesse has reviewed Monsters are Coming! Rock and Road, and had a go on Total Chaos too - not to mention Silent Hill 2! There's just too many games!In other news, we have an entirely new tipping system, and certain members of the community went a bit mad on the donation front, forcing all of us to run the Jelly Bean gauntlet. While we do so, we talked through some other news. We got a big look at Erosion, a new twin-stick shooter coming from the folks behind The Last Case of Benedict Fox. Ubisoft is a leaky ship, with stories about both Black Flag and Sands of Time remakes coming very soon from Insider Gaming. The Game Awards nominees are live, and of course, Xbox didn't stand a chance. Lots of this - and more, in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 289!XboxEra is a community-first, community funded publication.

• Episode 288 | "GabeCube"

  After a rare break from the show, we are back! To be honest, a lot has happened since we last broadcast - and it happens to be Xbox's birthday. So buckle up for a long show, as we talk Valve's new hardware, game delays and the latest in video game reviews in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 288!It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We've reviewed plenty of video games, big and small in that time, from the cosy survival delights of Winter Burrow, to the curious metroidvania-meets-Satisfactory trappings of Kentum. Nick tackled Double Dragon Revive in a somewhat late review, and Jesse and Jon took a look at Game Pass offerings of Pigeon Simulator and Egging On. The team at XboxEra looked at even more than that, so make sure you head to our reviews page for a good browse. The biggest of course, being our massive complete review for this years Call of Duty outing, Black Ops 7. Beyond a very silly campaign, there's a ton of content here, and according to our internal Call of Duty expert, it's one of the best overall releases in ages. In what is now very old news, we saw GTA6 delayed, to the surprise of absolutely no-one. What did sort of surprise everyone was Valve's announcement of a new Steam Machine, VR headset and controller. Even though some of them have leaked previously, it didn't stop the industry from declaring once again that Xbox, was of course, quite definitely dead this time, actually. We'll tackle all of this, and of course a whole bunch more - including your community questions - in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 288!As always, if you value what we do, consider supporting us directly on Patreon.

  With Halloween now behind us, and the end of the year firmly in sight, the boys sit down to chat all things Xbox in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 287!Tons to talk about this week, and thankfully, most of the conversation doesn't revolve around industry drama, but instead about the very thing we're all here for - fantastic video games. From Nick's discovery and love of Pumpkin Jack, his review of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage and his review-in-progress for Double Dragon: Revive, Nick's been playing more video games than ever.Personally, I'm deep into my addiction story 'arc' with ARC Raiders, which has blown up on Steam and in the community. I also took a look at Simon the Sorcerer Origins, revisiting a staple of my gaming past. Jesse has been as busy as ever, working on reviews for Dead Static Drive and Voidtrain, which are polar opposites in terms of impressions. In Xbox news, we talk about Jez Corden's report on the next-generation Xbox, and Satya Nadella comes out and talks about it too. IGN had a great ID@Xbox showcase, and and as always, the community comes through with their latest thoughts and questions at the end of the show.XboxEra is a community-first, community funded publication.

• Episode 286 | "You Had Me At Halo"

  This week was perhaps a sobering moment for Xbox fans. On the back of some fantastic game releases, Xbox made a move that we've arguably known was coming for a long time, but one that still feels pretty surreal. Let's get into it in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 286!First, let's chat games we can play right now! Following Double Fine's Keeper, this week saw the continued onslaught from Microsoft's first party publishing arm, with two new releases becoming available. On Monday we saw the return of a classic action franchise in Ninja Gaiden 4, and friends, it's bloody great. We also saw the release (in Early Access for Premium buyers at least) of Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2, putting you in the shoes of a commander of the Earth Directorate to save the outer worlds once again. Both games reviewed super well across the board, so get stuck in! Outside of lovely video reviews, our team also pushed reviews for Painkiller, Hot Wheels: Let's Race, Fast and Furious: Arcade Edition, Bounty Star, Plants VS Zombies: Replanted and PowerWash Simulator 2. Phew! Now let's talk about the biggest news. Halo Campaign Evolved was announced, and yes - it's coming to PlayStation. Plenty of die-hard Xbox fans are certainly in their feels right now, and we get it. We talk through all of that, in addition to the crazy reporting that Microsoft's CFO is pushing the Xbox division to target a whopping 30% margin, which is way outside of industry norms.

• Episode 285 | "ROG with MVG"

  What a fun week it has been! Plenty of video games, and brand new toys upon which to play them! We chat through it all in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 285!This week, Jon, Nick and Jesse are joined by the always legendary MVG to chat about the latest in gaming, and as per usual, there's plenty of topics to cover if you're an Xbox fan. On the games to play side of things, we've got plenty of content for you to devour, from our impressions piece on the recent Call of Duty Black Ops 7 beta, to the final, full Battlefield 6 Multiplayer Review. We're also headfirst into Microsoft's big three for the month, with the absolutely lovely Keeper already out now in Xbox Game Pass. If you've , to be swiftly followed by NINJA GAIDEN 4 and then shortly after that, the awesome looking The Outer Worlds 2. We also finally got to talk about BALL x PIT, which has arrived on Game Pass too. That's a lot of games, and what's even crazier - that's just some of the 50+ games coming to Xbox next week. Madness.The biggest topic of the week is of course Microsoft and ASUS's foray into Xbox-centric gaming handhelds. The ROG Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X are here, and I got hold of one thanks to the team at Xbox to bring you our verdict on the more powerful version of these two new handheld devices. Is it an Xbox? What does that even mean, anyway? If you're keen for even more Xbox Ally X content, I hosted a quick Q&A for folks, so feel free to tune in and check that out here.In sad news, this week also saw the passing of a video game industry legend - The father of Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive, Tomonobu Itagaki died, and quite rightly there was an outpouring of love and support on social media. Thanks for all the great games, Itagaki-san. All this and more to listen in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 284! As always, if you value what we do, consider supporting us directly on Patreon.
