Ultracore is a lost Sega Genesis game (Mega Drive) that was basically completed in 1994. Publisher Psygnosis decided to pull the plug at the finish line since next gen consoles were on the horizon. It was then released on Switch and Analogue’s Mega Sg a couple years ago but is now available digitally on Xbox. […]
A Vampires Survivors clone, Stickman’s Arena carries the same overall gameplay as the sweeping cult favorite but without the same level of polish and replay value.

This week, Gillman and I play some Goat Simulator 3 because it just appeared on GamePass. This game is totally Goat Simulator x10.
Released about a year and a half ago on PS4/Switch, Pocky & Rocky: Reshrined is now available on Xbox. Awesome to see Natsume games on a Microsoft console. Hopefully more are on the way. Everything mentioned in my original PS4 Review, which can be viewed HERE, stands true with this Xbox port. In short, this […]
