One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 7 Review

One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 7 is not one of ABA Games and m1s3ry’s finest. I’d love to say that V Bomb saves it - a clutch win from the fifth game in the list - but it’s too little, too late.  The post One Button Games 5-in-1 vol. 7 Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Xbox Responds To Devastated Fan Who Lost All Their Games Due A Hacked Account

"It’s not the experience we want anyone to have...".Earlier this week, we covered a story about someone in Brazil who had taken Microsoft to court over a hacked Xbox account in which they'd lost access to all their games and been told that they were essentially unrecoverable.That situation was fortunately resolved in the end, but then almost immediately afterwards, a post on social media from someone named Joshua Khane started getting massive attention (literally 4.7 million views at the time of

Here's Your First Look At Splitscreen In Halo: Campaign Evolved

Sharing screens just like we did in the glory days.As marketing for Halo: Campaign Evolved continues to ramp up following the game going gold, so too does the coverage from developer Halo Studios. Just yesterday, the team hosted an hour-long livestream where we got our first proper look at splitscreen co-op, in addition to details surrounding skulls and the challenging LASO mode.It's strange, we could've sworn we'd seen splitscreen before now, but it turns out we hadn't.

Roundup: The First Reviews Have Arrived For The Mound: Omen Of Cthulhu

Oh, the cosmic horror.Prepare your butts, The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu reviews are in and they're quite mixed.Having spent more than 25 hours with The Mound myself, I can see why its review scores vary from decent to pretty poor. It's worth noting the more favourable reviews tend to be for the PC version. Xbox Series X does an okay job of handling the game (after a lot fiddling with controller settings) but its less powerful sibling, the Xbox Series S, wholly struggles to keep up with the expediti
