I’ve just had my first go at Star Wars: Battlefront II, playing the tutorial mode. It looks great on my new Xbox One X. So far it appears to be a big step up from the previous entry. Feel free to see for yourself as the 10 hour […]
In my review here I made mention of several features that hadn’t gone live at launch. Well, the Auction House is now live, plus the Store Marketplace. Turn 10 has done a really good job of the Auction House and one of the most requested features is actually […]
