CarX Street Review

1 week ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

Having reviewed CarX Drift Racing Online back in 2020, I was obviously in Pole Position to review the next game in the series to release on Microsoft’s various consoles. Going by the name of CarX Street, from the team at CarX Technologies, this game promises to be about more than sliding around corners with smoke pouring from your tortured rear tyres.
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army Review

1 week ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

From ATLUS and SEGA is a remake of a game that I never played back in the day. Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army is now simply known as Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, and while the original game was released back in 2006 on the PlayStation 2, the new update has promised to keep the spirit of that gaming experience, while changing various things.
Covenant of Solitude Review

1 week ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

Stop! KEMCO Time! Do do do do… Sorry, I’m really starting to run out of ideas to introduce yet another KEMCO retro styled JRPG. After all, I’ve reviewed dozens of these things over the years. But yes, there is another KEMCO game on the block, and this one comes in the form of Covenant of Solitude.
Mostroscopy Review

1 week ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

You’d never guess it from the bizarre name, but Oribe Ware Games and Seashell Studio’s Mostroscopy is a fighter. Doesn’t exactly shout fisticuffs, does it? But not only is this a fighting game, it is also a fighting game with a unique aesthetic, that of Mexican Luchadore and horror films from the 1950s. And no, that is not a sentence I anticipated writing any time soon! So, being a bit of a noob when it comes to Mexican cinema in general, I dived in to see what was what.
Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Review

2 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

Have you ever looked at Skyrim or Oblivion and thought to yourself “I see what you are trying to do here, Bethesda, but what I really want is this exact same game with a plot involving King Arthur?” If so, you are somewhat odd, but luckily you are not alone: the fine folks over at Questline and Awaken Realms clearly have had a pint of the same stuff you have, and have come through for you.
Knock on the Coffin Lid: Complete Edition Review

2 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

Normally, I’d run a mile from anything card based and roguelike (or roguelite, I can never get those two things straight). Yet that is the beauty of being a games reviewer: you play games that you would never choose for yourself, and usually end up having a good time when you do. Of course, sometimes you don’t. The subject of this review is Knock on the Coffin Lid: Complete Edition, a card based, role playing, strategy action adventure game.
Starlight Legacy Review

3 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

It appears that buses and retro styled turn based RPGs have something in common: you wait ages for one, and then two come along almost together!Following on from my time with Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy, I’m now knee deep in another game with a similar air about it. The game in question is Starlight Legacy from Eastasiasoft, a company more known for cheap games with easy achievements than serious RPG experiences.
Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy Review

3 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

One thing that can never be said about reviewing games, is that life is dull. One day I’m fighting for my life in Limgrave, and the next I’m playing a game that is based on a wrestling and Kaiju film mash up. The game in question, Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy (and yes, Battel is spelt that way deliberately) was first released way back in 2018 on PC, and now has appeared on the Xbox, courtesy of Super Walrus Games and Penguin Pop Games.
FragPunk Review | TheXboxHub

3 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

At times, it is hard to come up with introductions for these reviews, you know. See, it’s not always as easy as sitting down and feeling the words flowing from my brain through the keyboard directly to your eyes. Sometimes it is hard to be inspIred by the subject of the review, whereas at other times, it’s something as simple as a late night dulling the creative juices. I’ll let you decide what the issue is this time around.
King Arthur: Legion IX Review

3 weeks ago | thexboxhub.com | Paul Renshaw

From NeocoreGames is another entry in the not noticeably sparse tactical genre. Going by the name of King Arthur: Legion IX, it should come as no surprise to learn that the setting for the game is the Arthurian legend, and while we don’t play as ol’ Kingy himself, the characters we do play as are pretty interesting. So, is there room for another turn based tactical game, which is crossed with a traditional RPG, or are we better off playing any of the other numerous other games in this vein?
