Xbox Games Showcase And Starfield Direct Reaction: Xbox Is Back, Baby!

Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct reaction: Xbox is back, baby! It’s been a struggle for a few years now, but Xbox is back – and it might just be better than ever. We’re a long way from the ‘who won E3’ conversations of the past – mostly because E3 is now dead, and Summer Games Fest is dancing on its corpse. The downside of that is that there’s not one collective place for our summer games news, the upside is that there’s no p**sing contest between the platform holders and publishers all trying to outdo each other....

32 years later, Sonic Superstars proves that new 2D Sonic games can still be good – hands-on This is a different beast than Sonic Mania, and it’s a great, fun, love letter to everyone’s favourite little hedgehog. The weird fallow years for Sonic the Hedgehog are over. Last year’s Sonic Frontiers managed to buck a trend of less-than-impressive 3D Sonic games, and was a commercial and critical success for Sega. Despite some stumbles with Sonic Origins and its slightly hobbled launch, the blue blur has also proved that he can still inspire child-liek awe in the 2D space, too; Sonic Mania is one of the best mascot platformers released outside of the 90s....
