I am all for Nintendo supporting more cross-platform play with other consoles, I know they have done it with some games and it has opened up the opportunity for so many to be able to play certain multiplayer games with their friends despite the console they are on. Cross-platform play I feel is the future for gaming so I hope Nintendo consider supporting cross-platform more.

I will admit, as much as I do love my Nintendo Switch and do have the online access, I don't play online as much as I thought I would. My kids tend to play more online than I do due to me purchasing the family plan for a year. My kids play a lot of Nintendo Switch Sports online which they have hours of fun doing. If I do ever get online to play anything on my Nintendo Switch, it is usually Smash Bros, Fall Guys or sometimes Nintendo Switch Sports.

Whenever I revisit old Nintendo titles after many years, the first thing I notice is how nostalgic I feel being back on a game that I used to play as a kid when I had less to worry about, and more time to have fun. I always miss the whole so many lives and you have to start again so that always brings back a lot of childhood memories of spending hours trying to get past levels and bosses.

I don't know, after trying Meta Quest and other top-of-the-line VR headsets, I'm a bit off-put by the PSVR2 🤨 They should really try to focus on reiterating it as soon as possible.

I would love to see Simpsons Hit and Run and Simpsons Road Rage remastered for the latest console. I remember when I first played these two games on the very first Xbox. I spent hours going through the game and completing everything. The game is such a classic and I am shocked that we have not yet has any remasters to the latest consoles of these two games as I know they are requested by many.

Cross-save has been a life saver! As someone who has a console at my set up and also another console in the house that the whole family uses, having cross-save has allowed me to pick up right where I left off on another console rather than having to wait until I had time to be at a specific console to continue my save. With the possibility of an Xbox Handheld and also with cloud gaming and the ability to play games through your phone now, cross-save allows you to pick up where you left off and I love that!

I have to agree with you on this one. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is a great game and one I loved playing through from start to finish and would love to see a sequel to it. I have read that there is nothing at least as of yet about any sequel to this game which is a shame but I do hope they consider it at some point.

I have always decided on games for my Xbox based on my past experiences with certain games within the same franchise and also on reviews too. A lot of the time, if I am unsure of a game and I don't feel I am getting enough from reviews to justify buying it yet, I will wait until there is a sale and then jump on the game.

Xbox Series X was my choice, mainly driven by the fact I have been a huge Xbox fan for a very long time now. Over the years I have gone from the Xbox to the 360, over to the Xbox One and the Xbox One X and now to the Series X and I have never had any issues with the consoles and being that I prefer much of the games that were once exclusive to Xbox, it made sense for me to go with the Series X.

I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the PlayStation controller but I feel that is because I am able to handle the Xbox controller better due to its design and the layout. The PlayStation controller I always found to be uncomfortable when I was using it and it never help for long gaming sessions.

I have to agree with this. The steering wheel does give a more realistic feel when it comes to racing games but having a full racing cockpit with motion simulation would for sure transform the experience a great deal. I do believe that these are available but they can be quite pricey.

I'm definitely excited, but my backlog is already kind of deep, I'm still going through PSVR1 and other flat games.

Looking at all the games that have released over the years for Xbox and going by thoughts of what would be best for someone to try out if they are fairly new to Xbox, I would have to say that Halo: The Master Chief Collection, The Gears of War games, and also the Forza Horizon games are the best games that I would recommend to someone looking. You can't go wrong with any of those, especially Halo.

I have always been a fan of Xbox and even though I have used PlayStation in the past, given the choice I would always go for Xbox. Due to my preference, between the two I find at least for myself and my needs that Xbox is the better option.

I couldn't agree more about Forza Horizon 5, it definitely strikes the perfect balance between fun and challenge and with the open world too, there is so much to explore. I have spent many hours on Forza Horizon 5 just chilling out and relaxing and only doing anything challenging if I have felt I want to.

Xbox and their digital marketplace has for sure improved over time and I personally love the layout of the marketplace now on Xbox and how smoothly it works and how easily you can find an purchase games or add on's you are looking for. I remember quite a few years ago, the marketplace seemed quite all over the place and in some cases, used to have issues but the improvements are just brilliant.

I can't fault Xbox support when it comes to hardware related issues. Any hardware issues I have had were always dealt with promptly and I was able to send for repair or even get a replacement without any issues.

Unbeatable is a new rhythm adventure game from D-CELL Games, they had a demo that came out for this years back called Unbeatable [White] Label. You can actually play that one for free here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1290490/UNBEATABLE_white_label/ But it seems the full on game is releasing sometime in 2025 and you can see more on that on their steam page here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2240620/UNBEATABLE/ There's even a demo for it.

Peglin is a pachinko rogue like from the team at Red Nexus Games. Never thought I'd hear about a rogue-like game that is based around the popular game Pachinko, but here we are. It looks like it'd be fun, so idk, check out the trailer below. It is already out on PC and the Switch, but is also coming out for PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S in May.

I can't fault the Xbox Game Pass service at all and I find it to be a great service and very reliable. I haven't had many issues at all when using the Game Pass service from Xbox, occasionally there may be a slight issue but it is usually addressed and fixed quite quickly.

Did you mean the Xbox Series X? Between Xbox One X and PS5, they are both completely different console in different generations with PS5 being current-gen and Xbox One X being previous-gen. When it comes to between the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, I much prefer the Xbox Series X but that is because I have always been a huge fan of Xbox as opposed to PlayStation.

This one is a personal preference I feel. I wouldn't say I mind a live news feed as long as it provided news that I was interested in. Some though would much prefer just a video game interface and that is understandable being that is what we are all used to.

I remember playing the first Wreckfest and loved the game. Anything with a destruction derby vibe has always been a favourite of mine, would play the first Wreckfest for hours. I haven't played Wreckfest 2 yet but will be doing so when I am able to grab the game.

This was another game that caught my eye at Nintendo Direct. Growing up playing on Nintendo, Donkey Kong was always one game I loved a lot, and seeing we are getting a new game on the Nintendo Switch 2 I am super excited for. The game itself and the graphics look amazing so this will be guaranteed pick up for me.

This game looks interesting but I will admit, the one hit one kill mechanic caught my eye. I have always said how I would love to see video games become a little more realistic in terms of how things happen in the game as they would in real life. Will be checking this one out for sure.
