Hi all, it's the faceless voice of the site once again. Presenting our Assassin's Creed Valhalla review - https://www.passthecontroller.co.uk/revi...xbox-one-x

Let us know what you think.

The new consoles could use their own thread, rather than piggybacking on the Xbox One X discussion.

Anybody got their next-gen Xbox yet? If so, which did you opt for?

My Series X was due to be delivered yesterday but didn’t show. Got in touch with Amazon this morning and it’s close by in Liverpool, but apparently delivery could be anytime between now and 10pm on Friday. Got a £5 voucher as an apology, which is something I guess.

Hello all, just to let you know there's a new review live - I know, it's been ages.

Take a look at what Jam had to say about Cake Bash.

Sony released an 18 minute gameplay video on it yesterday but it seemed to turn me off the game more than anything. The stealth and open world with enemy camps and collectibles look like things we've seen a hundred times before this generation. Combat also looked a bit too easy but I can never be too harsh on dismemberment or sword combat. The aesthetics in general are really cool though but they don't seem like they'll be quite enough to sell it. Showing the protagonist collecting crafting materials made me nauseous.

The latest update for this adds reverts, powerslides and a few technical upgrades.

I don't think I'd heard of this series before, but it looks quite good. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the release date.

I figured it'd be easier to have all of these in one place.

This week was about our favourite gaming locations.

Nice to see the Spencer Mansion from Res Evil get an honourable mention. That's a hella creepy place.

Thought a forum already existed for this one... Assuming not, anyone else excited for this? GamesRadar gad a piece about how it was happy no sequel was made for either Alan Wake or Quantum Break as it would have meant this game would not exist. Have to say, this is sounding like contender for my game of the year!

In honour of Super Mario Maker 2’s release, we share the games we’d like to see get level/map creators.

Should be getting Mario Maker in the post tomorrow, though have some stuff to play for review before I get to it. Looking forward to trying it out eventually, anyway.

If anyone else is grabbing it and makes any levels, feel free to drop your codes in here and I’ll check ‘em out!

Looks like this has now been sent out to me by Game. Sounds quite interesting - grisly, but interesting! - so hoping not another disappointment. No finished reviews yet that I can see but previews, including Sam, have all seemed positive...

Sony have revealed a few details about it, but they haven't officially named it yet.
