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.

Fast Fusion looks amazing and it was one of the games that caught my eye for the Nintendo Switch 2. I don't know how long it will be before I manage to snag a Nintendo Switch 2 but I know this game will be one of the games I grab on day one for me. I have always enjoyed racing games and this one looks promising.

I have always enjoyed point and click games and this one does look interesting and like one I would play. I usually do not mind the setting or theme for a game as long as it keeps me interested and this one does look promising. Will be a game I will be checking out for sure.

Cuphead would be my game that I have had and could not complete. I remember seeing so many playing the game on live streams and knowing the kind of game it was and how difficult it was, when I saw it in sale, I snagged it. I played it for around half an hour before rage quitting and not going back. I do still have the game should I ever want to try again.

With the way video games are released today, some either fully working and others broken, full of bugs and even severe issues, I do feel that video game prices are quite steep. I can understand the developers wanting to make money but over the years, video games have sky rocketed to prices that are in some cases, unaffordable for some, and for those who are able to purchase them, there are many times when they feel let down or are not happy with the finished product.

I am always happy knowing that there are a great range of games for children to play on PC and even on console depending on how they prefer to play video games. Minecraft is one that springs to mind for me when it comes to children and games to play on PC and even console. Minecraft is great for learning and fun with a lot of exploration. With the creative mode, it allows them to free roam and have fun doing whatever their mind desires.

I wouldn't say that anyone walked in on me during an embarrassing moment when I was playing a video game but I have had family members in the room at the time and also been live streaming when something embarrassing has happened to me. Usually it is me dying in a silly way. Fortnite and Destiny 2 were two games where I would die and it could have been avoidable, sure got me and everyone else laughing though!

The longest time I spent playing a video game in one day was when I sat and played Fortnite for 9 hours straight back in 2021 with a few breaks just to get up, stretch my legs, do what I needed and to grab a drink or food. I remember this was when I was live streaming frequently and I was enjoying playing so much, me and my daughter just kept playing.

Microsoft Flight Simulator would be the one I find difficult to even get into. I hear so many people who play this game daily and have hours of fun playing but when I tried it, I just couldn't stay focused at all and found I soon turned the game off. Don't get me wrong, the game looks amazing, it is just not one that keeps me interested for as long as I would want to be.

These are some great new releases for the PSVR 2! I always love to see a huge influx of new games that look interesting and make you eager to want to play them. My youngest son and eldest son love VR so these games will be something they will be interested in.

I have always enjoyed video games that offer the player to narrate the game through choices they make throughout the game. All too often you will see many playing the same games and if you are like me, and watch videos online of the games you play, if they are straight forward and the story is already written for you, you end up playing the game knowing what is going to happen. With the option of choices for the player to narrate the story, you will get a different outcome each time and I enjoy that.

I love that we have player creativity in gaming and it seems to be a lot more prominent now too. There is nothing better than a new lease of life on a game and being able to create your own world within a game so to speak. I would love to see more video games that offer player creativity.

When it comes to the ultimate gamer question that I ask to help spark a discussion about gaming, it is usually what games they enjoyed on the Sega Master System. The Sege Master System was the first console my brothers and I got gifted for Christmas and I always remember my favourite game on that console was Alex The Kidd. It is always nice to hear others answers and it usually sparks a great conversation 🙂

The last game I played was BTS Island ~ In the Seom just last night on my mobile. Being a BTS game and also a game that I enjoy as well, it's a great game to relax with on a night when everything is calming down. I was on it around 4 hours last night and couldn't believe how fast time flew!

This year, Summer Game Fest takes places on the 6th of June. So be sure to mark it in your gaming diary. 🙂

I'd say *Hades* best exemplifies creative game design on Game Pass. Its unique blend of roguelike elements, compelling narrative, and challenging but rewarding combat is truly innovative.

Live news feeds on the Xbox dashboard are a mixed bag. Helpful for quick updates, but can be distracting, especially during gameplay. A toggle would be ideal.

Xbox controller battery life has significantly improved over the years, a welcome upgrade. While still not perfect, the extended playtime is a definite plus for gamers.
