Avowed: A Masterpiece That Recaptured the Magic of My First RPG

Posted on by

There is a specific kind of magic that comes with your very first Role-Playing Game. For me, that magic was embodied by an Xbox 360 and a copy of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

I still vividly remember that feeling: stepping out of the Imperial sewers for the first time, blinking against the blinding digital sunlight, and realizing I could go anywhere. It was pure, unfiltered joy and a sense of boundless possibility. For years, I’ve been chasing that exact high, hopping from fantasy world to fantasy world.

Well, I can finally say it. I’ve found that magic again.

Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed on Xbox isn’t just incredible; it is an absolute masterpiece that has brought me the same level of joy and wonder that Oblivion did all those years ago. It is everything I wanted a first-person fantasy RPG to be, and somehow, even more.

Game Review: The Zen of the Void in A Game About Digging A Hole

Posted on by

In an era of gaming defined by massive open worlds, complex skill trees, and high-octane battle royales, sometimes you need to get back to basics. And it doesn’t get more basic—or more strangely addictive—than A Game About Digging A Hole.

Recently released on Xbox, this title does exactly what it says on the tin. But beneath its minimalist surface lies a meditative experience that is perfect for a rainy afternoon or a “palette cleanser” between AAA blockbusters.

If you’ve been itching to transform and roll out on your Xbox, Transformers: EarthSpark – Expedition might be the adventure you’ve been waiting for. Based on the hit animated series, this game puts you squarely in the driver’s seat (or, instead, the chassis) of the fan-favorite Autobot scout, Bumblebee.

I recently spent some time with the game to see whether it holds up as a solid action-adventure title or is just another rusty licensed tie-in. Here is my verdict on Bumblebee’s latest mission to stop Mandroid.
