Review: 8BitDo Ultimate 3E Controller For Xbox - Understated, Premium, And Well Worth Picking Up

Time to give Ranked Placements a go! One thing I’ve said, and want to reiterate is, Gears E-Day needs matchmaking priority so you can focus on better ping matches. 100% essential for Ranked playlists 🙏

Happy Emergence Day, Gears! 🔥 Can't believe Gears of War: E-Day is finally out in the wild. I hope to see you lot in Versus/Horde playlists! Also, big thank you to @xbox.com for the awesome E-Day tee. FanFest London was brilliant. Thanks for having me!

Putting my Gears of War: E-Day coverage together has been some of the most fun I’ve had since picking up writing. The sixteen y/o Craig playing Gears 2 every night after school would freak out knowing I’d have the privilege of reviewing Gears E-Day in 2026 🙏 @xbox.com @purexbox.com

Oh, it feels so good to be back 💀💀💀💀 #GearsOfWarEDay

Gears of War: E-Day is fantastic. It’s clear a lot of talented and hardworking people poured their hearts into it. If you’re enjoying the game, then just ignore the hate mongers. Play games that bring you joy. Gears E-Day makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy too.

Gears of War: E-Day is already my Game of the Year 🔥 www.purexbox.com/reviews/xbox...

Xbox's new Dynamic Background for Stalker 2 gets prettier the more you look at it

Have you ever stumbled upon a PUDDLE OF BEES before? I have 🐝

I prefer discs

Gears 5 remains a funny game to play. Such a silly series of events 😅

so cool

It's wonderful 👏

Just rolled credits on my first Kingdom Hearts experience 🤭 Woof! The janky combat, camera, and level design are showing their age, but the heart, characters, magic, and cheesiness is truly wonderful. I wholly love Kingdom Hearts 1 for what it is, flaws and all. What 👏 a 👏 game 👏

I could watch the Marathon S2 Nightfall cinematic over and over again. The vibes are insane! Can't wait to get stuck in.

AI isn't inevitable. Don't let anybody else tell you otherwise.

BF6's new Railway to Golmud map has some quirks

Enjoy this picture of my dog waking me up this morning 🙏

It’s mad video embargoes mean nothing to some outlets 🫠

Directive 8020 is an inspired sci-fi horror, packed with nods and winks to the genre’s greats but falls short of greatness itself. Its stealth sections stifle what is otherwise a thrilling experience. Read/watch our full review tomorrow at launch www.gamefriend.co.uk

I just want to play Mixtape 😔

ADHD meds are so funny because I can always tell when they've kicked in once I start telling people why I'm grateful for them With ADHD It's so easy to assume people know how you feel often resulting in your loved ones feeling neglected GG meds removing the executive disfunction barrier for me 🙏

Okay, Marathon is pretty great 👌

Super Meat Boy 3D is a lot of fun. Tough as nails, but fun! Definitely worth checking out for yourself 👏

Screamer is an absolute masterclass in arcade racing, an unconventional blend of high-speed thrills and slow, anime-fuelled storytelling that simply works It’s weird, wonderful, and bursting with originality, making it almost impossible to put down Our review: www.gamefriend.co.uk/review-screa...

Screamer's blend of twin-stick driving and narrative storytelling makes it one of the most distinctive action arcade racers I’ve played in quite some time. I cannot recommend Screamer enough. Bravo, Milestone! My review: youtu.be/m6zGY8oDq5g

To the folks vibing with Marathon: Should I get it? And what's great about it? 🧐

Thanks to folks at @pushsquare.com I had the opportunity to review Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake 😊 It's probably the scariest game I've played. Glad I got to put my photography degree to good use 📸 Congrats @koeitecmo.bsky.social 👏 Read it here: www.pushsquare.com/reviews/ps5/...

Scott Pilgrim EX is another banger from Tribute games - a studio that rarely puts a foot wrong in the modern beat ’em up space. It’s a must-have for fans of Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley and a great game to play with friends. Our review: www.gamefriend.co.uk/review-scott...

I got to review Scott Pilgrim EX and I think I'm in lesb*ans ✅ Bob-ombastic arcade fun ✅ An all new Scott Pilgrim adventure ✅ Moreish drop in and out co-op action ✅ Crossplay! My review: youtu.be/eHZ1odq6Ar4

Fellas, listen up

Tunnel Snakes rule!

I woke up choking. Happy Pokémon Day folks!

Wahey, one of my Switch 2 upgrade predictions came true!

Post a fav game that got a 75 or less on Metacritic. These two were absolute bangers

Well, shit. Strong donkey 😅

What are the main Nuzlocke rules for Pokémon Sword / Shield? I’m going to give it a go 😅

REANIMAL feels like a twisted evolution of the Little Nightmares blueprint. It’s tense nightmare fuel, paired with action and exploration that feel completely fresh. ✅ So creepy! ✅ Local couch co-op ✅ Dark and Immersive story My review: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yywb...
