• Episode 290 | "An Xbox For Your Feet!"

  Another week gone by, but a special opportunity to give thanks to everything we're grateful for this year - it's the XboxEra Podcast Episode 290! This week, Jon, Nick and Jesse gather round and give thanks, because it's been a pretty special year for XboxEra. We're on target to have more readers than ever, and November saw us broke some site records for the first time, alongside one of the best years for content overall. A lot of that of course, has been driven by excellent video games. Jon reviewed Sektori, a twin-stick arcade game that feels like a more evolved Geometry Wars, and proved to be very addictive. Jesse tackled some horror games this week with reviews for A.I.L.A and Bloober Team's Silent Hill 2 Remake, now finally available on Xbox consoles. Genghis checked out Ire: A Prologue, and even got a cool interview up for folks that are interested, and also checked Hymer 2000, so feel free to check that out too. On the hardware review front, Jon published a review of the XREAL One - a pair of super neat wearable display sunglasses, which make for a perfect companion for your new ROG Xbox Ally X.On the news front, we chatted about the RAM Price rumour and Xbox, as well as the latest ROG ally updates for your Xbox handheld, and the increase in cloud usage proclaimed by Microsoft. Xbox released a pair of Xbox controllers for your feet, in partnership with Crocs if that's your thing. Mostly though, we chatted about actual video games, because as great as 2025 has been for gamers everywhere, 2026 looks absolutely insane in terms of output. We can't wait!

• Episode 289 | "Happy 20th Anniversary, Xbox 360!"

  It's a special show this week. Not only are there plenty of great games to talk about thanks to a rather great Partner Preview from the Xbox team, but our favourite son has just turned 20 years old! Let's celebrate the Xbox 360 Anniversary in style in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 289!There's plenty of reason to celebrate this week, nostalgic birthday's aside. Xbox threw one hell of a Partner Preview, that revealed a ton of great looking games. It saw the arrival of the very addictive and utterly charming Dave The Diver on Xbox for the first time, and the team have been playing tons of great games, from the Geometry Wars-like Sektori, R-Type Delta HD Boosted and recent Xbox additions like Clover Pit and Neon Inferno. Jesse has reviewed Monsters are Coming! Rock and Road, and had a go on Total Chaos too - not to mention Silent Hill 2! There's just too many games!In other news, we have an entirely new tipping system, and certain members of the community went a bit mad on the donation front, forcing all of us to run the Jelly Bean gauntlet. While we do so, we talked through some other news. We got a big look at Erosion, a new twin-stick shooter coming from the folks behind The Last Case of Benedict Fox. Ubisoft is a leaky ship, with stories about both Black Flag and Sands of Time remakes coming very soon from Insider Gaming. The Game Awards nominees are live, and of course, Xbox didn't stand a chance. Lots of this - and more, in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 289!XboxEra is a community-first, community funded publication.

• Episode 288 | "GabeCube"

  After a rare break from the show, we are back! To be honest, a lot has happened since we last broadcast - and it happens to be Xbox's birthday. So buckle up for a long show, as we talk Valve's new hardware, game delays and the latest in video game reviews in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 288!It's been a crazy couple of weeks. We've reviewed plenty of video games, big and small in that time, from the cosy survival delights of Winter Burrow, to the curious metroidvania-meets-Satisfactory trappings of Kentum. Nick tackled Double Dragon Revive in a somewhat late review, and Jesse and Jon took a look at Game Pass offerings of Pigeon Simulator and Egging On. The team at XboxEra looked at even more than that, so make sure you head to our reviews page for a good browse. The biggest of course, being our massive complete review for this years Call of Duty outing, Black Ops 7. Beyond a very silly campaign, there's a ton of content here, and according to our internal Call of Duty expert, it's one of the best overall releases in ages. In what is now very old news, we saw GTA6 delayed, to the surprise of absolutely no-one. What did sort of surprise everyone was Valve's announcement of a new Steam Machine, VR headset and controller. Even though some of them have leaked previously, it didn't stop the industry from declaring once again that Xbox, was of course, quite definitely dead this time, actually. We'll tackle all of this, and of course a whole bunch more - including your community questions - in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 288!As always, if you value what we do, consider supporting us directly on Patreon.

  With Halloween now behind us, and the end of the year firmly in sight, the boys sit down to chat all things Xbox in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 287!Tons to talk about this week, and thankfully, most of the conversation doesn't revolve around industry drama, but instead about the very thing we're all here for - fantastic video games. From Nick's discovery and love of Pumpkin Jack, his review of Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O World Stage and his review-in-progress for Double Dragon: Revive, Nick's been playing more video games than ever.Personally, I'm deep into my addiction story 'arc' with ARC Raiders, which has blown up on Steam and in the community. I also took a look at Simon the Sorcerer Origins, revisiting a staple of my gaming past. Jesse has been as busy as ever, working on reviews for Dead Static Drive and Voidtrain, which are polar opposites in terms of impressions. In Xbox news, we talk about Jez Corden's report on the next-generation Xbox, and Satya Nadella comes out and talks about it too. IGN had a great ID@Xbox showcase, and and as always, the community comes through with their latest thoughts and questions at the end of the show.XboxEra is a community-first, community funded publication.
