Planet Coaster 2 (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 16:00:03 +0000

Planet Coaster is one of the games I have played the most on the Xbox Series X. As a huge fan of sandbox-style simulation games and evidently a theme park nerd, this series is tailor-made for my niche interests. I also adored the RollerCoaster Tycoon games back in the day, so you can imagine how much joy I have in saying Planet Coaster 2 is here and bringing the series to new heights.

F1 Manager Series Canceled, Report Suggests

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 22 Nov 2024 18:00:11 +0000

With the Las Vegas Grand Prix this weekend, which began last night with the first and second running of practice, it is safe to say that Formula 1 has been under a sort of boom period for a couple of years now. With a colorful cast of characters in Drive to Survive, to the on-track action (sometimes) being quite “spicey,” there are a number of factors. With that comes a lot of opportunities to…

Planet Zoo: Console Edition (Xbox Series X) Review

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 26 Apr 2024 18:00:49 +0000

Planet Zoo launched in 2019 for PC – to a joyous player base eager to hop back into a proper zoo sim for the first time since the 2000s. Developer Frontier Developments had previously translated the PC version of their other sim title, Planet Coaster, to console with great success, so the announcement of Planet Zoo: Console Edition made sense. With deeper systems to consider than its theme park…

JWE2 “Cretaceous Predator Pack” Gets Release Date

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 24 Nov 2023 15:00:51 +0000

After watching the entire set of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, I always come back to one question. Why bring back carnivores at all? You’re just asking for disaster. Regardless, people playing Jurassic World Evolution 2 will soon be able to bring back predators from the Cretaceous period. Very, very soon. The “Cretaceous Predator Pack” will be released for Jurassic World Evolution 2…

Planet Zoo to Get Conservation Expansion

Alexx Aplin — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 13:00:55 +0000

Regrettably, I have not gotten around to playing Planet Zoo. I love simulation games, especially ones where I can (accidentally) cause the animal-induced maiming of non-sentient humanoids. Yes, I would make a terrible deity. Anyhow, Planet Zoo is getting new content for those of us who’d like to be more on the conservation side of things. Planet Zoo is getting the Conservation Pack…

F1 Manager 2022 Gets A Release Date

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 17:00:32 +0000

It seems like an odd time to announce the release date for F1 Manager 2022, given we’ve just passed the Monaco Grand Prix and are now heading into the less prestigious Azerbaijan race this weekend. Nonetheless, the release date and a few more details have been revealed for the latest addition to the games bearing the Formula 1 name, F1 Manager 2022. Announced back in March, the prospect of joining…

Frontier To Release F1 Manager 2022 This Summer

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 14:00:41 +0000

Did I actually invent a time-machine at some point, because a lot of what I like the most has a release date for this year? We have Two Point Campus, WWE 2K22 has a GM mode (which I take credit for), and Frontier’s Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo, what else could I want? Yes, it is obvious, an F1 management sim would be like crack-cocaine to me, as I tell Toto Wolf to, in a PR-friendly way…

Disneyland Adventures (PC) Review

Mike Reitemeier — Mon, 11 Jan 2021 20:00:55 +0000

In my perusal of what Xbox Game Pass for PC had to offer, I stumbled upon Disneyland Adventures as one of the titles offered. As I was raised on the brand’s movies as a kid, I have plenty of memories attached. Though I was a bit skeptical as my only exposure to the game was taking it for 25 cents a pop trade-in at GameStop for the Xbox 360 Kinect port, in addition to the game being marketed for a…

Elite Dangerous: Understanding Scale & Awe

Keiran McEwen — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 18:00:32 +0000

Space is vast and as far as we know, it is infinite. We’re still finding the far reaches of space filled with planets, stars, and whatever Pluto is this week. We just don’t know how far the infinite blackness of space will go, and as far as that description explains it could go on forever. Something video games often lack is that scale, that understanding of how huge planets really are.

Warning: The following article may contain linked videos with mild to strong language that some readers may find distressing. The reader’s discretion is advised. On Monday, I said “It’s a great day for America, everybody!” in the Prime Gaming article where I spoke of space horror scorpions. I also talked of a game made so poorly the publisher and developer apologized for its release. Tuesday…
