Review No Time To Explain (Xbox One)
Not worth the time
Originally released in 2011 as a browser game on Newgrounds, No Time To Explain on Xbox One doesn't really add a whole lot of "new" aside from a smoother visual presentation and soundtrack. The cold hard truth though is that No Time To Explain wasn't a great game back then, and all of the problems associated with it are still...

Out Today Neverwinter (Xbox One)
...is coming
The Xbox One doesn't have a lot of MMO's (Japan got Onigiri) but Neverwinter is looking like it's ready to fill that void. It's been out on PC for a long time, and today Xbox One owners can try their hands at it for no cost whatsoever. We're not the biggest MMO fans here at pX, but this one definitely has us intrigued.
