James Sunderland really loved his wife. He loved her so much that it smothered him when she died. Grief, doubt, and a calling to visit SILENT HILL consumed him. Finally arriving on Xbox, 2024’s excellent remake of the PS2 classic by Bloober Team is here and in the best shape I’ve seen yet. Running at a near-flawless, damned good-looking 60fps in performance mode, this is the best version of the game on consoles. So pack your car, put on your green jacket, and take a trip to everyone’s f...

Monsters Are Coming! Rock and Road is hitting Xbox Game Pass for PC as the latest rogue-lite to hit the service. The selling point on this one is resource gathering! That’s right, you’ve got a mobile city trying to get to a safe destination, and your hero will chop wood and gather stones as it automatically wheels its way down the screen. It’s a fun concept with just enough content to keep things feeling fresh before they get too dull.
Now and then, a game comes out of nowhere and grabs you by the ghoulies. It wraps itself around your brain, and all you want to do is play just a little bit longer. Voidtrain, which has been in early access since August 2021, got its hooks into me. For 25 hours, I dove into the void, gathered resources while fighting off foes, and built a train that took me through one hell of a journey.
Yakumo is no Schmoe. The main protagonist of NINJA GAIDEN 4 is one of the best-controlling characters in action gaming history. Across nineteen increasingly batsh*t crazy levels, Yakumo and Ryu Hyabusa lead you through a deadly gauntlet. Platinum Games and Team Ninja take a series known for fast combat and somehow make it way faster. Even the story is slightly less nonsensical than previous entries. Despite all of the high-profile departures, Platinum proves it still has what it takes to make...
PowerWash Simulator 2 takes the idiom “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and dials it up to 11. This is a bigger, prettier, easier to play sequel that’s coming Day One to Xbox Game Pass. I’ve played it across PC and Xbox’s Ally handheld, sorry no early Xbox console code was available, and I loved every moment. It’s a content-rich rich clean-a-thon that’s better with friends, and easier than ever to play with them.
The citizens of Arcadia are once again in peril! Deadly space rifts are appearing, vexing the greatest scientific minds of our era. The Order, Auntie’s Choice, and The Protectorate are vying for power in an epic struggle that threatens reality itself. Coming to the rescue, why it’s a Commander of the Earth Directorate! Will he save these Outer Worlds? Find out in a thrilling 25-hour adventure, with twists, turns, important choices, and daring action!
Bounty Star: The Morose Tale of Graveyard Clem is coming to Game Pass today. You are Clementine, a loner who failed at protecting those in her stead. After wallowing in a drunken stupor, you’ll build her life back up, one repetitive mission at a time. Solid writing and voice work can’t save this one from a frustrating mission and homestead structure, which is a shame, as the game oozes southwestern charm.
