Feature Microsoft Rewards Is So Good, It Paid For Me To See The Red Hot Chili Peppers
All those Xbox Game Pass Quests paid off
So, here's something you didn't know about me - I'm a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan.

That latest time was at the Olympic Stadium in London a few weeks ago,...

Feature Stray's Success Could Pave The Way For Everyone's Favourite Xbox Cat To Return
Blinx, baby
You might of heard of a little game called Stray — out now on PlayStation platforms and PC — featuring a whole bunch of our cute feline friends. (We say friends, but do cats really like us?) Anyway, let's not try and figure that one out because we'll be here for eons. Instead, let's ponder how Microsoft can fight back with the return...

Talking Point Did The Series X|S Bring You Back To Xbox? If So, How Come?
Was it the console? Game Pass? Tell us!
There's no doubt that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S have helped the brand turn a corner over the past couple of years, working to repair the damage that was caused almost a decade ago with the launch of the Xbox One in 2013.

Talking Point Xbox Series S Owners, How's Your Storage Looking In 2022?
Have you bought a Seagate card yet?
Without a doubt, we've been very happy with the Xbox Series S since it launched back in 2020, but if there's one thing we could pinpoint that we're not so keen on, it's the low internal storage out of the box, clocking in at just 512GB. If we're talking usable storage, it's actually a lot lower than that, sitting...

Soapbox Spec Ops: The Line Still Hits Different 10 Years Later
Blurred lines
On this day back in 2012, 2K unleashed Spec Ops: The Line; another third person military shooter featuring a gruff American bloke and plenty of bad dudes to shoot. At the time, it certainly looked like another uninspired effort chasing the Call of Duty crowd, not to mention its beyond-generic title. However, behind this 'tough guy'...
