Hello there fellow gamers.
After finishing the Fantastic Expedition 33, I´m now free to go back and play my other unfinished games in my backlog, such as:
Black Myth Wukong on my PS5;
Cyberpunk 2077 on my Series X;
Blasphemous 2 on my Switch 2.
These will be my main ones for starters and eventualy I´ll go back to Stelar Blade and Star Wars Outlaws.
I really want to be able to finish at least these games this year.
There are way to many good games coming out in 2026 and the backlog keeps increasing, so I have to chip it way as much as possible.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend good people
Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing:
Expedition 33 on my Series X. I´m finally in Act 3. The game´s story is weird and great at the same time, but I´m having a blast with it;
Blasphemous 2 on my Switch 2. Still playing this one kinda slowly, but steadily advancing trough. Enjoying more than the first game, wich was already pretty good;
Continuing my Platinum playtrough of Lords of the Fallen and Astrobot on my PS5. One more run for the third and canonical ending of LOF. Really good game after all the updates. And Astrobot is such a fun time every level.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend
@LordDieALot Hey there friend. "I spent hours putting my entire CD collection on that thang" Did the exact same thing with both the OG Xbox and Xbox 360. Still remember having some friends over to play games on the system, and when we got to play PGR2 and My Favourite Band, Linkin Park, started playing during the races they were all shocked and I just said, "Oh, it´s just one of my many CDs that I have put on the console." I really miss those moments and these little and very cool extra things we could do with gaming systems. Listening to LP, Oasis, Tool and Incubus while driving the Mako in Mass Effect or racing in PGR2, 3 and 4 are some of my favourite gaming memories on Xbox. Cheers
Hello there fellow gamers. My first ever Xbox memory is saving enough money to buy a special bundle a store in my country had at the time, wich was an OG Xbox with two controllers, plus Project Gotham Racing 2, Fable, Shenmue 2 and Halo 2 Steelbook edittion. And as soon as I got my birthday present from my now passed away Grandmother and Uncle(wich was always money), I raced to the store the very same day to get that bundle, plus Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive 3 as well. Spent the whole Christmas School break playing great games on my brand new system. Very fond times indeed. Cheers and happy gaming
My New Year's Resolutions For Gaming In 2026 is as follows:
Cancel my GamePass Ultimate subscription. I don´t think it is of any value to me anymore and I don´t intend to play online on my Series X;
Try to play and finish most of my Gaming Backlog between my PS5, Series X and Switch 2. I have WAY to many good games to and I need to actualy start playing them and not just the new ones;
Enjoy more of my favourite Hobby and Passion(Gaming), meaning to just play what I want and what I feel like playing in the moment, as well as my other hobbies and passions, such as reading more interesting Books, go to the Movies, watch more Tv Shows and just Drive around with no destiny in my Car.
Cheers Everyone and Let´s Enjoy 2026 to the Fullest
Hello there fellow gamers and PureXbox Staff. I wish a Very Happy New Year of 2026 to everyone in the Gaming Comunity. May this year be one of many Great and exciting Games for us to play and enjoy, as well as good Fortune and Health so we can continue this crazy adventure that is called Life. Cheers, all the very best and happy gaming to us all
Hello there fellow gamers; On this final weekend of 2025 I´ll be playing:
Silksong and Expedition 33 on my Series X;
Continue and go for the Platinum in both Astrobot and Lords of the Fallen on my PS5;
Continue my playtrought of Blasphemous 2 and my second playtrough of Metroid Prime 4, Hard mode, on my Switch 2. We had some amazing games this year in all platforms and 2026 is also looking to be absolutely golden. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers and PureXbox staff. Wish you all a great Merry Christmas, full of fun and enjoyment with your loved ones. Cheers, happy gaming everyone and all the very best
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be playing the following games:
Astrobot and Marvel Tokon Closed beta on my PS5. Going for the platinum trophy on the first and getting my ass kicked onlinbe with the second 😜;
Silksong and Metaphor Refantazio on my Series X. I´m slowly, but steadily advancing trough Act 3 in Silksong, already defeated 5 new Bosses and doing new sidequests. As for metaphor I´m in the end game going for the final dungeon to face the final Boss;
Super Mario Odissey, Blasphemous 2 and hades 2 on my Switch 2. I´m in the final level in Odissey and what a great Mario game this one is. Will be jumping to Blasphemous 2 right after, since I´ve been in a mood to play it ever since i finished the first one. Last, but not least, Hades 2 because it just became a routine to play at least one run of the game in handheld mode. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. I give it an 8/10. I thought it was a pretty good first try from former 343 now Halo Studios. Really enjoyed the visuals, amazing for an 360 game, the characters and narrative. Gameplay was fine, but not quite there yet. Bungie kinda nailed it on their first try though. Not a big multiplayer guy, so can´t say anything about it. As a for the campaign, very solid entry....... And then they completely fumbled with Halo 5 Guardians. Oh well. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll continue playing:
Ghost of Yõtei on my PS5. Such a beautiful game and very fun to explore, just like Tsushima was;
Donkey Kong Banaza and Ni no Kuni 2 on my Switch 2. The first is a masterclass of a platformer game and just so much fun breaking everything in your path. And the second one looks fantastic on Switch 2 in smooth 60 fps;
Ghostwire Tokyo and SilkSong on my Series X/PC. Started the first one a couple of days ago and it is pretty interesting. Really like the style of the game. As for Silksong, I´m in Chapter 3, trying to find my way into new areas of the game and facing brand new Bosses. This game is absolutely amazing. Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all
Hey there fellow gamers and @FraserG.
Thank you PureXbox for giving the comunity this information.
The mobile method worked for me as well.
Can´t believe the game is finally here.
Cheers everyone and happy Silksong gaming day
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be playing:
Death Stranding 2 On The Beach. Someone has to make the roads you all are using to travel all over the continent;
Donkey Kong Bananza. Probably the most fun and terapeutic game I´ve played in a long time;
Street Fighter 6. I´m kinda having a love/hate relationship with this game, but I can´t seem to stop playing it. Go figure.... Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend it´s all about keeping on with Death Stranding 2, wich is a phenomenal sequel all around. Just met the character Rainy, who...... Makes it rain. Gotta love Kojima-san weirdness 😜 I´m also making bridges and roads. Lot´s of them. And some Street Fighter 6 and Mario Kart World online. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. My top three Xbox Series X games of 2025 so far are:
Clair Obscur Expedition 33;
Assassin´s Creed Shadows;
Ninja Gaiden Black. Hopefully, the next ones of this year for me will be:
The Outer Worlds 2;
Ninja Gaiden 4;
Wuchang Fallen Feathers. And that´s just on Xbox. There´s quite a few others on both my PS5 and Switch 2 as well. Lot´s of good games to play all around. Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be playing the following games:
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 on my Series X. Continuing the journey to parry everything...... And perfect dodging when I can parry certain atacks. Also trying different builds as well. Lune Thunder build and the new party members are awesome;
Death Stranding 2 on my PS5. It feels just like old times and buisiness as usual, but just better in every single way. Who knew I would have such a great time making deliveries. And what a gorgeous game this one is. Decima Engine is the goat. And running at 60 fps is such a very smooth experience;
Super Mario Odissey and Mario Kart World on my Switch 2. Really enjoying playing both games. Taking my time exploring each Odissey world and collecting Moons. As for MKW I am mostly playing it in free roam and doing random missions as I drive around in the open world. Still not very good at the game, since I keep losing most races 😜 But it´s very fun to play. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers.
This was the game that stole the Xbox showcase for me personaly.
The game looks so much fun and the fact that it is an rpg with time altering decisions mechanics in the mix is hust the icing on the cake.
Take your time InXile. I´ll gladly wait for this awesome game.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be finally playing the GOTY contender Clair Obscure Expedition 33 on my Series X. It´s already installed and ready to go. High expectations for it. Will continue to play the very cool and quite technical Stelar Blade on my PS5. There´s something about how satisfying the combat and exploration as well as the lore of the world. Last, but not least, continue to play around with my brand shiny new Switch 2 and try some more Switch one games and of course, more Breath of the Wild SW2 Edition. Amazing game. Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers; This are the games that I hope to see in todays Xbox Showcase:
Gears of War Reloaded and E-Day;
Fable gameplay and release date;
Everwild re-reveal;
Contraband Re-reveal;
Ninja Gaiden 4 release date;
Holow Knight Silksong release date;
Clockwork Revolution gameplay and release date;
New Halo game that continues the fondation of Infinite. My personal hopes and dreams for the showcase. If we get half of this, it will be quite good. Cheers and happy gaming everyone
@ScalenePowers Hey there friend and thanks. Prince of Persia (2008) is one of my favourite games of the Xbox 360/PS3 era. I beat the game 100% and got the Platinum trophy because I was enjoying the game that much. The pure joy of traversing in that game with the gorgeus visuals and beautiful score by Inon Zur was like bliss. And the twist at the end makes it even better. I´m also one of the weird ones that actualy likes Final Fantasy XIII. As for the characters Hope and Snow, yeah it takes a while to warm up to them for sure. But it does get better. And the OST by Masashi Hamauzu is one of my absolute favourites. Banger of a soundtrack. Cheers and enjoy FFXIII
Hello there fellow gamers; Yeah, I do think Xbox should embrace Switch 2 and bring some of their Iconic IPs to another audience. They can start small with just Halo Master Chief Collection and Killer Instinct. Then Hi-Fi Rush. Because that game is awesome. Ever since Xbox Game Studios decided to port their games to PS5, slowly but steadily, they have made good money and have more players playing Xbox IPs and really enjoy them. When Gears of War Reloaded launches on PS5, it´s going to be massive. More people will play one of the best third person shooters and it will have cross play. The multiplayer aspect will be huge. The reasons I still own my Xbox is mostly to play Xbox games trough backwards compatibility, but I also play Gamepass to try out new games and then purchase them in physical media or not depending on how much I end up enjoying them. And since Xbox does not seem to go anywere in the near future, as long they keep making games that I (and many other people) want to play, that is all that matters in the end. Just my take on the matter. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers; I give it a solid C+ It had some interesting announcements, for sure like:
Mortal Shell 2;
Street Fighter 6 Season 3 reveal;
Code Vein 2;
End of Abyss;
Onimusha Way of the Sword update;
Lies of P Overture DLC shadow drop;
Stranger than Heaven, former Project Century;
Resident Evil 9 Requiem. All and all, good enough for me I guess. And there is more to come during Xbox Showcase. Can´t wait. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers; This weekend will be the first of many that I´ll be spending playing Switch 2. I absolutely love this system already, especialy how big and hi-res the screen is, and how it improves most Switch games performance and visuals. All this to say I´ll be playing The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, again, Switch 2 Edition this time around...... And some Mario Kart World; And since Team Ninja decided to drop an Alpha demo of Ni-Oh 3, I´ll be playing that one as well on my Playstation5...... And then Lies of P Overture dlc droped as well, so I have to play that on my Xbox Series X Also will be checking out all the gaming events of this week. It´s not E3, but it kinda feels like it and I think it´s great. What an amazing week for gaming all around. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. It´s funny. I own and have played every single game from this list between Xbox Series X, PC and PS5. My personal favourites are:
Lies of P;
Remnant 2;
Blasphemous;
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor;
The Surge 2. Still have to finish Another Crab´s Treasure and Lords of the Fallen. The latter I´m playing in co-op with a friend. Very fun and challenging games. Can´t wait for Lies of P Overture dlc for my Series X. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
@HonestHick Hello there friend. I knew you would be all over the moon with this news. If somehow they can get the first one updated as well, it would be perfect. Two awesome games that deserve the praise. Fingers crossed. Cheers and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers; Are You Buying A Nintendo Switch 2? Yes, I'm getting one at launch! I was able to pre-order one at my local electronics shop with Mario Kart World bundle. Very excited for Both Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond. It´s going to be wild when Xbox Game Studios games will eventual come to the system. But Portable Halo and Gears? Count me IN!!! Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Hello there fellow gamers; My personal favourite Gears of War is Gears 3, followed very closely by Gears 2. Absolutely loved both games campaigns and even the multiplayer, and I´m not a multiplayer kind of guy. The first Gears game will always be a classic though. I also really enjoyed Gears of War 4 as well, minus the opening hours. Then it becomes the Gears of War experience I know and love. Very excited for both Gears of war Reloaded and E-Day. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers;
For this weekend I´ll be playing:
Chants of Sennaar, Xbox Series X. What an amazing puzzle game. One of the bests I´ve played, followed by Cocoon;
South of Midnight, Xbox Series X. Finally playing this one. Great presentation and ost, with some interesting gameplay mechanics. Not quite feeling the combat though;
Ender of Lilies: Quietus of the Knights, PS5. Decided to give it a chance, since a good friend of mine is a big fan of the franchise;
Lords of the Fallen, PS5. Been having fun playing co-op with said friend. It got potential, we´ll see how good it gets:
Metroid Dread, Switch. Still collecting the final upgrades and getting 100% before the Final Boss. Some of the speed booster puzzles are quite clever. Only two region maps left.
Lot of good games to enjoy.
Edit: I finished Chants of Sennaar with all achievements. Cannot recomend this game enough.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers.
I for one, still purchase physical media, being CDs albums, Blu-Ray movies and, of course, videogames for my Xbox Series X, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
All this news of "physical" games that only have a few megas or game-key cards, instead of having a full game product is bad in so many ways, it´s not even funny.
I have physical media from over 25 to 30 years that work completely fine today. Same as videogames.
Games from PS1, PS2 and PS3 as well as Xbox 360 that I own, all still work without an issue. Even my 3DS and PS Vita cartrige games work as well. And again, I actualy OWN the physical copies of all my games.
I do not think digital media is bad by any means.
But I am not purchasing a "physical" media product that does not have the actual product on them. It´s completely unacceptable. As simple as that.
Physical collectors are not a diyng breed. I´m one of them.
And stop calling names or badmouthing the commenters on Push Square.
Cause that is just wack.
Cheers and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers.
That was THE game that I was remided of when I first saw Expedition 33.
Lost Odissey is not only one of the best classic rpgs, but also, in my opinion, THE Final Fantasy type game everyone wanted to play, but could only do it if they had an Xbox.
As you should my friend @Kaloudz, as you should.
Also @FraserG nice to see another Legend of Dragoon fan 👍
That is one of the games I would love Sony Playstation to Remaster or Remake. Maybe one day.
As for Expedition 33, I already got my Xbox Series X physical copy.
Cheers everyone and happy role play gaming to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. Gamepass is on a roll right now. Bangers after bangers all around. This is another one right up my alley. If this is as good as Lies of P, I will definitely purchase the physical version of the game at some point. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers.
The games I´ve picked in the spring sale were:
Ninja Gaiden 2 - 360;
Resident Evil Code Veronica – 360;
Cris Tales;
Bundle: South Park : The Stick of Truth + The Fractured but Whole;
Darksiders III - Blades & Whip Edition.
All for 52€. And with this purchase, I now have all Xbox versions of Ninja Gaiden games on my Series X. As well as all Darksiders games, wich I´ve only played the first and the second.
Never thought I would get so many digital games, but at these prices, makes it a little hard not to 😜
Cheers and happy gaming
@TheGiraffe Hello there friend. It´s interesting that I am the completely oposite in regard of those two games. I wanted to like Starfield, since I´m a sci-fi and space fan, but unfortunately the game itself, the way the npcs look and feel are very unrealistic and not natural to me at all. The gameplay it´s not bad and the ship building is great, but after 30 hours I just kinda fell off. And that´s fine. Not all games will mean the same to everyone, but it will always be great when we find a game that does appeal to us in every single way possible that just makes want to play and enjoy it more and more. That´s the beautiful thing about this Universe that I love and enjoy so much. Cheers and continue to enjoy Starfield
@AgentCooper Hello there friend. Cyberpunk 2077 is such a good game. It´s definitly one of those games that, the more you play, the more interesting and fun it becomes. And there´s so much to do and explore in this game, that I don´t even use fast travel. I just drive around, because CD Projeck Red made a very imersise location with Night City. Cheers and have fun with it
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll probably do the following.
Continue playing AC Shadows on my Series X. Just enjoying exploring Feudal Japan and sneaking into castles and looting all the goodies;
Continue playing Metroid Dread on my Switch. And since I´m at the end game, I´ll just go and find all the last missiles and energy tanks missing. Absolutely love this game;
Last but not least, continue playing Black Myth Wukong on my PS5. Not only it´s a beautiful game, but also a very fun and challenging one. And some Strret Fighter 6 online, because why not 😜 Cheers and happy gaming Easter weekend to everyone
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll continue playing AC Shadows on my Series X, Continue playing Split Fiction with my friend on my PS5 and will also continue playing Metroid Dread on my Switch. Will eventualy play South of Midnight because it looks quite fun. Cheers and happy gaming weekend everyone
@somnambulance Hey friend. I completly forgot about Rare´s Everwild....... Maybe they know by now what kind of game it is...... You know, since they didn´t at the time of reveal 😜 If Hallo MCC does release on other systems, I might be getting it for my PS5 to play with my PS friends for sure. We might even see Gears of War collection on other systems as well. And once again, I´ll be getting a physical copy for PS5. Hopefully it will be an awesome Xbox Showcase full of games. Cheers
@Kaloudz Hello there friend.
Your talking about State of Decay 3 right? That´s one of the many that developers have anounced probably way to early.
Kinda like Insomniac´s Wolverine and Avalance´s Contraband.
Maybe it´s time for those games to be re-anounced i guess.
Even so, I´m very curious with this Xbox showcase.
We might see more of Gears of War E-Day, Perfect Dark, Fable, Ninja Gaiden 4 and just like our friend @somnambulance mentioned, hopefully Silksong (fingers crossed for an actual release date). Maybe even a brand new Halo game.
Or a brand new Ip from the many different Studios Microsoft owns as of now.
And I´m quite curious with The Outer Worlds 2 Direct. Really enjoyed the first one. Exciting time as always.
Cheers and game on
Hello there fellow gamers. The best game I´ve played so far that has released in 2025 is Assassin´s Creed Shadows on my Series X. Have like 40 something hours and I´m enjoying it very much. The second being Split Fiction on my PS5. Josef Fares and his team don´t miss. Me and my friend, were having a blast. And the third is Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, that I also played on my Series X. Still one of the best action games of all time. Cheers everyone and happy 2025 gaming
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend is all about Assassins Creed Shadows. Can´t get enough of it. Been awhile since I played a game that hooked me like this. And the imersion mode were the characters speak their native tongue is just perfect. I might also dable in Bleach Rebith of Souls..... If they fix the subtitles that is. I do understand most of Japanese, but I´m not fluent enough, so I need my subtitles to help me out 😜 Cheers and happy gaming weekend everyone
Hello there fellow gamers. Yes, I´m playing AC Shadows and I really enjoy the series as a whole ever since AC1. This has been the setting and time period I´ve been waiting since AC2, and I´m having a blast just exploring, fighting fools and sneak my way into castles. Once again, Ubisoft nails the open world design and it´s such a beautiful game to boot. Have like 12 hours or so and I´m really enjoying it so far. As long as I´m having fun playing a game, that´s all that matters. Cheers and happy gaming
@Ricky-Spanish I did played and enjoyed AC Unity. There is a really good youtube chanel named "The Spaniard" wich have a lot of videos about AC games, but specially Unity wich does have a great time period setting, a compeling main character, a very fun sandbox of how you, the player choose how to take out each target and the BEST parkour system. That would be my recomendation, to check "The Spaniard" out.
@Ricky-Spanish Hey there friend, thanks.
There is a friend of mine that also stoped playing AC games since AC3, wich he didn´t like that much, but seeing many people, including myself praise AC Origins he decided to give it a go.
And he really enjoyed it. Sometimes, you just have to give certain games a chance.
This is why Gamepass and PS Plus can be so usefull to do exactly that. Try different games and see if you like them.
Let me know if you eventualy get to play it.
Cheers
Hello there fellow gamers. Yeah, I can´t wait to play this on my Series X. I´ve always wanted to play an AC game in Feudal Japan and it feels like Ubi has done it very well. It´s gonna be great exploring the beautiful landscapes with Yasuke and the imposing castles very stealthy with Naoe. Only two more days to go. Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Hello there fellow gamers. I chose the option "No, I ended up selling mine", mostly because I needed money to purchase my PS4 at the time. Back then, if I wanted to be able to purchase brand new systems, i needed to sell others, so that´s what i did. But, the fact that Xbox Series X alows me to play my physical copies of OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and even some Xbox One games that I was able to purchase in sales, as well as digital sales, is what makes the Series X so awesome to me. I can play Ninja Gaiden Black, Psychonauts, the Mass Effect trilogy, the Gears of War trilogy and Gears of War 4 and 5, all games that I own as well as many others that I´ve been getting digital is pretty amazing. Great value in game preservation. Now if only I could play Project Gotham Racing games on Series X...... Oh well, maybe one day. Cheers and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers. Having finally played all the mainline Halo games when I got my Series X, back in 2022 (yes, I skipped them during OG and Xbox 360 days), I would love if the next entry in this great franchise is indeed "Leng........ Wait for it....... Dary". Couldn´t help it 😜 It is not been easy for former 343 now Halo Studio to make an impact, even though Halo Infinite was a step in the right direction. Hopefuly they can nail it completely in the next one and bring back, at least some of the originals magic. We´ll see. Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll be playing Evil West, since it´s leaving Game Pass and I´m having a blast with it. Will also play Split Fiction with a friend. We both played and finished It Takes Two a few weeks ago and it was very fun. And might also dable in some Street Fighter 6 matches. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. Having finished my second playtrough of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on Hard, I´ll be switching gears and continue to play Metaphor Refantazio. I´m at the end game, finishing side quests and maximizing bonds. Might also dable between Street Fighter 6, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Ninja Gaiden Black. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Hello there fellow gamers. This weekend I´ll continue to play Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1. I´m in a NG phase right now and I´m loving every second of playing both games. Also want to go back and finish Metaphor Refantazio and Star Wars Outlaws, before the big games of 2025 start coming. Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hello there fellow gamers.
After finishing the Fantastic Expedition 33, I´m now free to go back and play my other unfinished games in my backlog, such as:
These will be my main ones for starters and eventualy I´ll go back to Stelar Blade and Star Wars Outlaws.
I really want to be able to finish at least these games this year.
There are way to many good games coming out in 2026 and the backlog keeps increasing, so I have to chip it way as much as possible.

Re: Talking Point: As Xbox Celebrates 25 Years, What's Your First Ever Xbox Memory?
@LordDieALot Hey there friend.
"I spent hours putting my entire CD collection on that thang"
Did the exact same thing with both the OG Xbox and Xbox 360.
Still remember having some friends over to play games on the system, and when we got to play PGR2 and My Favourite Band, Linkin Park, started playing during the races they were all shocked and I just said, "Oh, it´s just one of my many CDs that I have put on the console." I really miss those moments and these little and very cool extra things we could do with gaming systems. Listening to LP, Oasis, Tool and Incubus while driving the Mako in Mass Effect or racing in PGR2, 3 and 4 are some of my favourite gaming memories on Xbox.
Cheers
Re: Talking Point: As Xbox Celebrates 25 Years, What's Your First Ever Xbox Memory?
Hello there fellow gamers.
My first ever Xbox memory is saving enough money to buy a special bundle a store in my country had at the time, wich was an OG Xbox with two controllers, plus Project Gotham Racing 2, Fable, Shenmue 2 and Halo 2 Steelbook edittion.
And as soon as I got my birthday present from my now passed away Grandmother and Uncle(wich was always money), I raced to the store the very same day to get that bundle, plus Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive 3 as well.
Spent the whole Christmas School break playing great games on my brand new system. Very fond times indeed.

Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Talking Point: Exactly 13 Years Later, How Are You Feeling About Halo 4 These Days?
Hello there fellow gamers.
I give it an 8/10. I thought it was a pretty good first try from former 343 now Halo Studios.
Really enjoyed the visuals, amazing for an 360 game, the characters and narrative.
Gameplay was fine, but not quite there yet.
Bungie kinda nailed it on their first try though.
Not a big multiplayer guy, so can´t say anything about it.
As a for the campaign, very solid entry....... And then they completely fumbled with Halo 5 Guardians. Oh well.

Just met the character Rainy, who...... Makes it rain.
Gotta love Kojima-san weirdness 😜
I´m also making bridges and roads. Lot´s of them.
And some Street Fighter 6 and Mario Kart World online.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hopefully, the next ones of this year for me will be:
And that´s just on Xbox. There´s quite a few others on both my PS5 and Switch 2 as well.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 28-29)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be playing the following games:
Lune Thunder build and the new party members are awesome;
Who knew I would have such a great time making deliveries. And what a gorgeous game this one is. Decima Engine is the goat. And running at 60 fps is such a very smooth experience;
Really enjoying playing both games. Taking my time exploring each Odissey world and collecting Moons. As for MKW I am mostly playing it in free roam and doing random missions as I drive around in the open world. Still not very good at the game, since I keep losing most races 😜 But it´s very fun to play.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Phil Spencer Hypes Up Clockwork Revolution Following Xbox Games Showcase Reveal
Hello there fellow gamers.
This was the game that stole the Xbox showcase for me personaly.
The game looks so much fun and the fact that it is an rpg with time altering decisions mechanics in the mix is hust the icing on the cake.
Take your time InXile. I´ll gladly wait for this awesome game.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 14-15)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be finally playing the GOTY contender Clair Obscure Expedition 33 on my Series X.
It´s already installed and ready to go. High expectations for it.
Will continue to play the very cool and quite technical Stelar Blade on my PS5.
There´s something about how satisfying the combat and exploration as well as the lore of the world.
Last, but not least, continue to play around with my brand shiny new Switch 2 and try some more Switch one games and of course, more Breath of the Wild SW2 Edition. Amazing game.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

My personal hopes and dreams for the showcase.
If we get half of this, it will be quite good.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 7-8)
@ScalenePowers Hey there friend and thanks.
Prince of Persia (2008) is one of my favourite games of the Xbox 360/PS3 era. I beat the game 100% and got the Platinum trophy because I was enjoying the game that much.
The pure joy of traversing in that game with the gorgeus visuals and beautiful score by Inon Zur was like bliss.
And the twist at the end makes it even better.
I´m also one of the weird ones that actualy likes Final Fantasy XIII. As for the characters Hope and Snow, yeah it takes a while to warm up to them for sure. But it does get better.
And the OST by Masashi Hamauzu is one of my absolute favourites. Banger of a soundtrack.
Cheers and enjoy FFXIII
Re: Talking Point: Switch 2 Owners, Should Xbox Embrace Nintendo's New System?
Hello there fellow gamers;
Yeah, I do think Xbox should embrace Switch 2 and bring some of their Iconic IPs to another audience.
They can start small with just Halo Master Chief Collection and Killer Instinct. Then Hi-Fi Rush. Because that game is awesome.
Ever since Xbox Game Studios decided to port their games to PS5, slowly but steadily, they have made good money and have more players playing Xbox IPs and really enjoy them.
When Gears of War Reloaded launches on PS5, it´s going to be massive. More people will play one of the best third person shooters and it will have cross play.
The multiplayer aspect will be huge.
The reasons I still own my Xbox is mostly to play Xbox games trough backwards compatibility, but I also play Gamepass to try out new games and then purchase them in physical media or not depending on how much I end up enjoying them.
And since Xbox does not seem to go anywere in the near future, as long they keep making games that I (and many other people) want to play, that is all that matters in the end.
Just my take on the matter.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Poll: How Would You Grade The Summer Game Fest 2025 Showcase?
Hello there fellow gamers;
I give it a solid C+
It had some interesting announcements, for sure like:
All and all, good enough for me I guess.
And there is more to come during Xbox Showcase. Can´t wait.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 7-8)
Hello there fellow gamers;
This weekend will be the first of many that I´ll be spending playing Switch 2. I absolutely love this system already, especialy how big and hi-res the screen is, and how it improves most Switch games performance and visuals.
All this to say I´ll be playing The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, again, Switch 2 Edition this time around...... And some Mario Kart World;
And since Team Ninja decided to drop an Alpha demo of Ni-Oh 3, I´ll be playing that one as well on my Playstation5......
And then Lies of P Overture dlc droped as well, so I have to play that on my Xbox Series X
Also will be checking out all the gaming events of this week.
It´s not E3, but it kinda feels like it and I think it´s great.
What an amazing week for gaming all around.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: The Best Xbox Soulslike Games NOT Made By FromSoftware
Hello there fellow gamers.
It´s funny. I own and have played every single game from this list between Xbox Series X, PC and PS5.
My personal favourites are:
Still have to finish Another Crab´s Treasure and Lords of the Fallen. The latter I´m playing in co-op with a friend.
Very fun and challenging games.
Can´t wait for Lies of P Overture dlc for my Series X.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Report: Red Dead Redemption 2 Next-Gen Upgrade Could Launch On Xbox Later This Year
@HonestHick Hello there friend.
I knew you would be all over the moon with this news.
If somehow they can get the first one updated as well, it would be perfect. Two awesome games that deserve the praise.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: Xbox Fans, How Many Of You Are Buying A Switch 2?
Hello there fellow gamers;
Are You Buying A Nintendo Switch 2?
Yes, I'm getting one at launch!
I was able to pre-order one at my local electronics shop with Mario Kart World bundle.
Very excited for Both Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond.
It´s going to be wild when Xbox Game Studios games will eventual come to the system.
But Portable Halo and Gears? Count me IN!!!
Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Re: Poll: Which Is Your Favourite Gears Of War Game On Xbox?
Hello there fellow gamers;
My personal favourite Gears of War is Gears 3, followed very closely by Gears 2.
Absolutely loved both games campaigns and even the multiplayer, and I´m not a multiplayer kind of guy.
The first Gears game will always be a classic though.
I also really enjoyed Gears of War 4 as well, minus the opening hours. Then it becomes the Gears of War experience I know and love.
Very excited for both Gears of war Reloaded and E-Day.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (May 10-11)
Hello there fellow gamers;
For this weekend I´ll be playing:
Lot of good games to enjoy.
Edit: I finished Chants of Sennaar with all achievements. Cannot recomend this game enough.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Xbox's DOOM: The Dark Ages Seemingly Has Tiny Amount Of Content On Disc
Hello there fellow gamers.
I for one, still purchase physical media, being CDs albums, Blu-Ray movies and, of course, videogames for my Xbox Series X, PS5 and Nintendo Switch.
All this news of "physical" games that only have a few megas or game-key cards, instead of having a full game product is bad in so many ways, it´s not even funny.
I have physical media from over 25 to 30 years that work completely fine today. Same as videogames.
Games from PS1, PS2 and PS3 as well as Xbox 360 that I own, all still work without an issue. Even my 3DS and PS Vita cartrige games work as well. And again, I actualy OWN the physical copies of all my games.
I do not think digital media is bad by any means.
But I am not purchasing a "physical" media product that does not have the actual product on them. It´s completely unacceptable. As simple as that.
Physical collectors are not a diyng breed. I´m one of them.
And stop calling names or badmouthing the commenters on Push Square.
Cause that is just wack.
Cheers and happy gaming
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is Reminding People Of This Classic Xbox 360 JRPG
Hello there fellow gamers.
That was THE game that I was remided of when I first saw Expedition 33.
Lost Odissey is not only one of the best classic rpgs, but also, in my opinion, THE Final Fantasy type game everyone wanted to play, but could only do it if they had an Xbox.
As you should my friend @Kaloudz, as you should.
Also @FraserG nice to see another Legend of Dragoon fan 👍
That is one of the games I would love Sony Playstation to Remaster or Remake. Maybe one day.
As for Expedition 33, I already got my Xbox Series X physical copy.
Cheers everyone and happy role play gaming to us all
Re: Chinese RPG Wuchang: Fallen Feathers Gets July Release Date For Xbox Game Pass
Hello there fellow gamers.
Gamepass is on a roll right now.
Bangers after bangers all around.
This is another one right up my alley.
If this is as good as Lies of P, I will definitely purchase the physical version of the game at some point.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Have You Picked Up In The Xbox Spring Sale 2025?
Hello there fellow gamers.
The games I´ve picked in the spring sale were:
All for 52€. And with this purchase, I now have all Xbox versions of Ninja Gaiden games on my Series X. As well as all Darksiders games, wich I´ve only played the first and the second.
Never thought I would get so many digital games, but at these prices, makes it a little hard not to 😜
Cheers and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 19-20)
@TheGiraffe Hello there friend.
It´s interesting that I am the completely oposite in regard of those two games.
I wanted to like Starfield, since I´m a sci-fi and space fan, but unfortunately the game itself, the way the npcs look and feel are very unrealistic and not natural to me at all. The gameplay it´s not bad and the ship building is great, but after 30 hours I just kinda fell off.
And that´s fine. Not all games will mean the same to everyone, but it will always be great when we find a game that does appeal to us in every single way possible that just makes want to play and enjoy it more and more. That´s the beautiful thing about this Universe that I love and enjoy so much.
Cheers and continue to enjoy Starfield
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 19-20)
@AgentCooper Hello there friend. Cyberpunk 2077 is such a good game. It´s definitly one of those games that, the more you play, the more interesting and fun it becomes.
And there´s so much to do and explore in this game, that I don´t even use fast travel. I just drive around, because CD Projeck Red made a very imersise location with Night City.
Cheers and have fun with it
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 19-20)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll probably do the following.
And some Strret Fighter 6 online, because why not 😜
Cheers and happy gaming Easter weekend to everyone
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 12-13)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll continue playing AC Shadows on my Series X, Continue playing Split Fiction with my friend on my PS5 and will also continue playing Metroid Dread on my Switch.
Will eventualy play South of Midnight because it looks quite fun.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend everyone
Re: Xbox Games Showcase 2025 & Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced For June
@somnambulance Hey friend.
I completly forgot about Rare´s Everwild....... Maybe they know by now what kind of game it is...... You know, since they didn´t at the time of reveal 😜
If Hallo MCC does release on other systems, I might be getting it for my PS5 to play with my PS friends for sure.
We might even see Gears of War collection on other systems as well. And once again, I´ll be getting a physical copy for PS5.
Hopefully it will be an awesome Xbox Showcase full of games.
Cheers
Re: Xbox Games Showcase 2025 & Outer Worlds 2 Direct Announced For June
@Kaloudz Hello there friend.
Your talking about State of Decay 3 right? That´s one of the many that developers have anounced probably way to early.
Kinda like Insomniac´s Wolverine and Avalance´s Contraband.
Maybe it´s time for those games to be re-anounced i guess.
Even so, I´m very curious with this Xbox showcase.
We might see more of Gears of War E-Day, Perfect Dark, Fable, Ninja Gaiden 4 and just like our friend @somnambulance mentioned, hopefully Silksong (fingers crossed for an actual release date). Maybe even a brand new Halo game.
Or a brand new Ip from the many different Studios Microsoft owns as of now.
And I´m quite curious with The Outer Worlds 2 Direct. Really enjoyed the first one. Exciting time as always.
Cheers and game on
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Game You've Played In 2025 So Far?
Hello there fellow gamers.
The best game I´ve played so far that has released in 2025 is Assassin´s Creed Shadows on my Series X. Have like 40 something hours and I´m enjoying it very much.
The second being Split Fiction on my PS5. Josef Fares and his team don´t miss. Me and my friend, were having a blast.
And the third is Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, that I also played on my Series X. Still one of the best action games of all time.
Cheers everyone and happy 2025 gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 22-23)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about Assassins Creed Shadows.
Can´t get enough of it. Been awhile since I played a game that hooked me like this. And the imersion mode were the characters speak their native tongue is just perfect.
I might also dable in Bleach Rebith of Souls..... If they fix the subtitles that is. I do understand most of Japanese, but I´m not fluent enough, so I need my subtitles to help me out 😜
Cheers and happy gaming weekend everyone
Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Racks Up One Million Players In Less Than 24 Hours
Hello there fellow gamers.
Yes, I´m playing AC Shadows and I really enjoy the series as a whole ever since AC1.
This has been the setting and time period I´ve been waiting since AC2, and I´m having a blast just exploring, fighting fools and sneak my way into castles.
Once again, Ubisoft nails the open world design and it´s such a beautiful game to boot.
Have like 12 hours or so and I´m really enjoying it so far.
As long as I´m having fun playing a game, that´s all that matters.
Cheers and happy gaming
Re: Hands On: Assassin's Creed Shadows Feels Like A Timely Refresh For The Series
@Ricky-Spanish I did played and enjoyed AC Unity.
There is a really good youtube chanel named "The Spaniard" wich have a lot of videos about AC games, but specially Unity wich does have a great time period setting, a compeling main character, a very fun sandbox of how you, the player choose how to take out each target and the BEST parkour system.
That would be my recomendation, to check "The Spaniard" out.
Re: Hands On: Assassin's Creed Shadows Feels Like A Timely Refresh For The Series
@Ricky-Spanish Hey there friend, thanks.
There is a friend of mine that also stoped playing AC games since AC3, wich he didn´t like that much, but seeing many people, including myself praise AC Origins he decided to give it a go.
And he really enjoyed it. Sometimes, you just have to give certain games a chance.
This is why Gamepass and PS Plus can be so usefull to do exactly that. Try different games and see if you like them.
Let me know if you eventualy get to play it.
Cheers
Re: Hands On: Assassin's Creed Shadows Feels Like A Timely Refresh For The Series
Hello there fellow gamers.
Yeah, I can´t wait to play this on my Series X.
I´ve always wanted to play an AC game in Feudal Japan and it feels like Ubi has done it very well.
It´s gonna be great exploring the beautiful landscapes with Yasuke and the imposing castles very stealthy with Naoe.
Only two more days to go.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone
Re: Random: 20 Years Later, The Xbox 360 Is Still Finding New Fans In 2025
Hello there fellow gamers.
I chose the option "No, I ended up selling mine", mostly because I needed money to purchase my PS4 at the time.
Back then, if I wanted to be able to purchase brand new systems, i needed to sell others, so that´s what i did.
But, the fact that Xbox Series X alows me to play my physical copies of OG Xbox, Xbox 360 and even some Xbox One games that I was able to purchase in sales, as well as digital sales, is what makes the Series X so awesome to me.
I can play Ninja Gaiden Black, Psychonauts, the Mass Effect trilogy, the Gears of War trilogy and Gears of War 4 and 5, all games that I own as well as many others that I´ve been getting digital is pretty amazing. Great value in game preservation.
Now if only I could play Project Gotham Racing games on Series X...... Oh well, maybe one day.
Cheers and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: Will Xbox Manage To Create 'Something Legendary' With The Next Halo?
Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finally played all the mainline Halo games when I got my Series X, back in 2022 (yes, I skipped them during OG and Xbox 360 days), I would love if the next entry in this great franchise is indeed "Leng........ Wait for it....... Dary". Couldn´t help it 😜
It is not been easy for former 343 now Halo Studio to make an impact, even though Halo Infinite was a step in the right direction.
Hopefuly they can nail it completely in the next one and bring back, at least some of the originals magic. We´ll see.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 8-9)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll be playing Evil West, since it´s leaving Game Pass and I´m having a blast with it.
Will also play Split Fiction with a friend. We both played and finished It Takes Two a few weeks ago and it was very fun.
And might also dable in some Street Fighter 6 matches.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 8-9)
Hello there fellow gamers.
Having finished my second playtrough of Ninja Gaiden 2 Black on Hard, I´ll be switching gears and continue to play Metaphor Refantazio. I´m at the end game, finishing side quests and maximizing bonds.
Might also dable between Street Fighter 6, Dungeons of Hinterberg and Ninja Gaiden Black.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 1-2)
Hello there fellow gamers.
This weekend I´ll continue to play Ninja Gaiden 2 Black and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1. I´m in a NG phase right now and I´m loving every second of playing both games.
Also want to go back and finish Metaphor Refantazio and Star Wars Outlaws, before the big games of 2025 start coming.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all
