I don't dislike the looks of this controller, but I feel this review is a little limited. How good is the D-pad for Tetris and fighters? And you may not be audiophiles, but it's worth checking the sense of space and detail around you in a multiplayer game of Warzone with the same headset normal controller vs this controller, right? Very curious what your findings are!
Joy Ride Turbo is worth a try if you have kids, and even though it already looks a bit repetitive already, I'm willing to give The Wild At Heart a try. Like the shark game.
Not much else for me here. Happily, a friend and I just discovered Sniper Elite 4 on Game Pass is a lovely, lovely online coop game.
Yes, I remember reviewing this for the Dutch Xbox Magazine at the time and being pleasantly surprised. Never expected this to be good, but it's a really neat game.
Also curious how they will handle all of the EV's coming out on the market right now. I mean, if $65000 can get you a Kia EV6 with a 0-60 mph sprint in 3,5 seconds... that imbalances price-to-performance ratio quite a bit.
That's good news. I really hope the newsfeed from friends' achievements comes back, I kept opening the app just to see which achievements my brother and friends got.
I really advice against ReCore as your Zelda alternative - what a dull, uninspired, wacky playing game that is. Furthermore, a very comprehensive list actually - including the brilliant CrossCode!
And still is a special kind of love. Every weekend 4 up to 8 friends would gather with two Xbox's and beers, to play Blood Gulch capture the flag 4 vs 4 locally. Fantastic stuff.

Oh, that's a great theme for a game like this.
Re: Rumour: Sonic 2022 Will Be Called Sonic Rangers, An Open-World Adventure
Calling it already, after a ton of bad 3D Sonic games:
This will be absolute sh*t.

Re: Hands On: Knockout City - Has The Potential To Be The Next 'Big' Thing
I hate the design of this game, but it does work... and I liked the training modes as well. Perhaps I should just dive into an online game then...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 22nd)
Will launch Psychonauts this weekend and start up The Wild At Heart too, because I like the style. Don't expect to be grabbed by the gameplay however.
Re: Netflix Is Reportedly Looking To Expand Into Video Games
This is a Go Big Or Go Home situation.
Wait... does this shed new light on the 'A UbiSoft original' approach?
Re: Woah, These Absolutely Gorgeous Psychonauts 2 Screenshots Have Us Very Excited
I'm loving the first game more than I did back in the days. So much originality!
Re: Surprise! Free Radical Is Making A New TimeSplitters Game

Re: To Celebrate Shrek's 20th Anniversary, Let's Look Back At That Awful Original Xbox Launch Game
Still... it played better than any 3D Sonic game ever.
Aaaaand... I just remembered all the timed-based missions combined with those controls.
Nevermind.

Re: Gallery: 343 Shows Off New Halo Infinite Concept Art
Looks like a Warthog for bigger travelling distances. So hope the Infinite-map will prevail quality over quantity...
Re: These 10+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (May 10-14)
Hood seems pretty nice. Just wish it had a coop campaign instead of only PvP.
Re: Three More Games Are Available With Xbox Game Pass Today (May 6)
@Chaudy Maybe in the EA Play section? Those two are separated on the Xbox itself too.
Re: Soapbox: Star Wars Republic Commando Was Ahead Of Its Time
Yes, I remember reviewing this for the Dutch Xbox Magazine at the time and being pleasantly surprised. Never expected this to be good, but it's a really neat game.
Re: These Nine Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (May 4-13)
Not much for me here, but still a good reason to try Psychonauts once more.
Re: Can You Guess All Of These Xbox Star Wars Games?
Do you seriously think these Lego Star Wars questions are well-balanced? Haha. Nice quiz - 12 out of 20.
Re: Second Extinction Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
Only learned that it's Series X and not One X today. Disappointed now.
Re: Here's What Time Second Extinction Goes Live On Xbox Game Pass
I need more reliable coop partners in my friend list.
Not reading properly. I also need a Series X instead of One. :X
Re: Rumour: Forza Horizon 5 Won't Be Set In Japan, According To Industry Insiders
Wonder what it will be:

Re: Here's What's Included In The Xbox April 2021 Update
So basically, more nudges to get you to take Game Pass with your Xbox.
Re: Deals: Huge LEGO Franchise Sale Now Live On Xbox (April 16-23)
Shame you can't get the Pirates of the Caribbean part anywhere anymore, really my favourite from the bunch.
Re: Comical Cloud Simulator Rain On Your Parade Is Now Available To Preload With Xbox Game Pass
The next best thing to play after Donut County it seems.
Re: Xbox Fans Are Getting Hyped Over This Tease For Adventure Game Tunic
I've seen more recent hack-and-slashers and 2,5D-RPG's, which all disappointed me in terms of combat and depth. Hope this one is the exception.
Re: The Retro-Futuristic Narita Boy Is Now Available With Xbox Game Pass
Nice, let's give this a try.
Re: Following Wreckfest's Free Xbox Series X Patch, It's Now Getting A $10 Upgrade On PS5
I tried this the first day it was on Game Pass, but the online servers were down. Is this resolved now? Could be great fun, I imagine.
Re: Review: It Takes Two - A Magical Slice Of Co-Op Heaven
This seems like a great game for me and my gf, but yeah... with so much still to play, I can wait till it's available on Game Pass.
Re: The Xbox Mobile App Is Finally Adding In Some 'Missing' Features
That's good news. I really hope the newsfeed from friends' achievements comes back, I kept opening the app just to see which achievements my brother and friends got.
Re: Deals: 300+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (March 9-16)
If you're a platform fan, I can recommend Outland for 3 dollars wholeheartedly.
Re: These Six Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass Soon (March & April 2021)
Hmm... it's not my month.
Re: Deals: 300+ Games Included In This Week's Xbox Sales (March 2-9)
Rayman Legens for 5 dollars is a great deal, but then again, I feel like I've recommended the game for this price ten times before.
Re: Aliens: Fireteam Brings Co-Op Survival Action To Xbox This Summer
Generic? Kinda.
Repetitive? Probably.
Good old coop fun with four players? Quite possibly!
Re: Pick One: Which Of These Xbox Game Pass Racers Is Your Favourite?
Forza Horizon 4. By a powerslide, landslide and airjump. And then some.
Are the servers for Wreckfest online again? They were down the first evening on Game Pass, but I can see it being great fun online.
Re: Mini Review: Taxi Chaos - Competent Enough, But Lacking That 'Crazy' Factor
I had a feeling it would turn out to be this average. Ah will, still maybe fun to pick up for a few bucks.
Re: These 15+ Games Are Coming To Xbox This Week (Feb 23-26)
Oooh, Akuto Showdown and Curse of the Dead Gods on Game Pass please!

I really advice against ReCore as your Zelda alternative - what a dull, uninspired, wacky playing game that is. Furthermore, a very comprehensive list actually - including the brilliant CrossCode!
Re: EA's Knockout City Slams Its Way Onto Xbox Consoles This May
It's incredible how dull a game can look from the start. Everything about this looks cash-grab and passionless.
Re: Co-Op Adventure It Takes Two Will Offer A Free Trial
I'm looking forward to this game, but honestly, when it comes to Game Pass because... Game Pass.
Re: Talking Point: Which Xbox Console (& Game) Was Your First Love?
Halo: Combat Evolved.
And still is a special kind of love. Every weekend 4 up to 8 friends would gather with two Xbox's and beers, to play Blood Gulch capture the flag 4 vs 4 locally. Fantastic stuff.
Re: The Xbox Mobile App Is Finally Adding In Some 'Missing' Features
Things like achievements... and the entire news feed please! I loved seeing what my closest friends got in their latest gaming sessions.
Re: Random: Xbox Fan Shares Concept For Improving The Xbox Dashboard
A better view of your wallpaper? Good idea indeed.
Re: Four More Games Are Now Available With Xbox Game Pass (Feb 11)
May try Final Fantasy, but foremost, I'm happy that Game Pass still offers plenty of other titles.
Re: Ubisoft To Focus More On Free-To-Play Games Alongside AAA Experiences
Ah well, Ubisoft was already down this path with there very formula-like gaming worlds, right?
Re: Wipeout Inspired Pacer Finally Races Onto Xbox One Next Week
Oh, I'd like this to be a Game Pass addition!
Re: Random: Someone Has Successfully Recreated Halo's Multiplayer In Dark Souls
This is incredibly awesome. And God, I love the Halo 1 maps.
Re: Tron Inspired Narita Boy Launches On Xbox Game Pass This Spring
Looking quite awesome!

@dmcc0 No, I meant: you don't get to keep the Xbox One games. That is a surprise.
Re: Soapbox: Xbox, Can We Please Stop Having Games With Random Achievement Numbers
Can I get a... yeah:
Amen.
Re: Feature: Games We'd Love To See Added To Xbox Backwards Compatibility In 2021
Blur! 007 Nightfire! Chamber of Secrets! Signularity even!
Flabbergasted - I could have written this article myself. Excellent, excellent choices.
Re: The First Three Of February 2021's Xbox Games With Gold Are Now Available
@dmcc0 Really? Wow, that's... special.
