It’s been a while since Wolfenstein: Youngblood landed on Xbox Game Pass and I’ve been unsure of whether to take the plunge or not. After playing through the wonderfully outrageous and satisfying Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus it’d take something special to fill the void until the expected […]
I knew this part of my trip in Elite Dangerous was going to be the quietest and it’s turned out that way with the grind coming down to the usual pattern of jump, scan, refuel then repeat. Finding systems that you can scan with just a flyby feel […]
Finally reaching Colonia after weeks of travel in Elite Dangerous feels like a big achievement. Not only because you get one pop up on screen for doing it on Xbox but also because of the time and numerous jumps required to make the distance. What was cool though […]
March’s Xbox Games with Gold have been announced and I’m looking forward to it thanks to one of the games being an instant play for me. The games in question are: Batman: The Enemy Within (Mar 1-31, Xbox One) Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (Mar 16-Apr 15, Xbox One) Castlevania: […]

The black is starting to get a lot less so as I make my way to Colonia and the galactic centre. The Milky Way has always been a noticeable part of the night sky (even when you look up at it for real here on good old planet […]
Though Microsoft’s xCloud streaming service has limited availability (US, UK and parts of Asia) they have at least made available the console streaming functionality for us all to try out and I’ve been dabbling with it for a couple of weeks now. It’s something that’s not unique to […]
107 jumps might seem like a lot in a game like Elite Dangerous but it’s still peanuts compared to what some of the game’s true explorers do. Initially I thought it’d take me the full weekend to do it but to my surprise I made it after spacing […]
