Great Survival Horror
This was a very good survival horror game back in the day. It had the feel of a teen, slasher film and reminded me of The Faculty quite a bit. Apart from the Resident Evil games and The Suffering there weren't many Survival Horror games about for the Xbox. The gameplay was very atmospheric, you often needed a torch to search around the school at night. It had a co-op mode for a second player. A great game for the time.

Manhunt is a classic game released for ps2 & xbox original. The game brought serious intensity to a very dark and violent videogame story.

With so may dark, demented, gory & bloodsoaked videogames released today, manhunt to me remains one of THE very best, although it may not have aged well, it does not take away what a major hit it was with mainstream players.

Manhunt is a stealth-based psychological horror video game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games.

 originally released for the PlayStation 2 on November 18, 2003, and for Microsoft Windows and Xbox on April 20, 2004.

Manhunt follows the story of convicted serial killer James earl cash, who wakes up after his execution to realise...He's still Alive?!

You take control of Cash, who is given an opportunity to escape by "the Director" a mysterious man who locked you up in carcer city, jam packed with more free roaming criminals..the worst of the worst, who gets off to violence and will be watching your every move via cctv.

If your going to escape. Prepare to get EXTREMELY VIOLENT!

Imagine a world where you could turn back time and make different decisions based on what you thought the consequences might be and you have Life is Strange. The main character is Max and you basically shape her character by making choices for her. Its more involving than that and it tests your morals quite a bit. A nice easy game to play and a good story make for a very enjoyable adventure game. This was on game pass on Xbox One

Another film to file under "The trailer made it look good". In truth the idea wasn't so bad, a different version to War of the worlds would be one way to describe it. It had big ideas but unfortunately the CGI and acting didn't match the ambition. Some of the CGI for the aliens later on look more like an old Xbox game, and not on the 360! The story and script start to turn rather silly half way through. It made Skyline look rather good. Although it was nice to see Rachael Taylor back in a main stream film.

Fun, cozy, casual game
This was a very simple to learn, sometimes funny, sometimes weird, casual and cozy game. I'd compare it to Katamari, but instead of rolling up a big ball, you're sucking objects into a hole, which gets larger the more it collects. There is a bit of a puzzle aspect to it, and the story is really fun. These kinds of games are super satisfying to me! I played this recently using Xbox Gamepass so it may still be available on there. I just wish it were a bit longer, but otherwise I was impressed.

A dark little puzzler
Contains spoilers, click to show
Little Nightmares is a cute but dark and somewhat Grimm side scrolling style puzzle based platformer of a Horror videogame published by Bandai Namco Entertainment & developed by Tarsier studios for Windows, ps4, Nintendo switch, xbox one and stadia.

Set in a variety of locations filled with emptiness and seemingly demonic creatures, our little protagonist(?) Awakens and immediately set's off on a dark and difficult journey....but to where and through what is a mystery.

Brilliantly designed & thought out, little nightmares will have you questioning a lot in its short gameplay.

Let me start by addressing the Elephant in the room.

I know the games exist.

I've never played them (Xbox exclusive, I prefer PlaySatation).

So I can't compare and contrast with the source material, although I know plenty were up in arms over the liberties taken and the fact that the Master Chief seems to spend about 90% of his time wandering around with his helmet off!

Setting that aside, however, I did find this to be generally engaging - no so much the Dune stand-in Kwan Ha segments - with some episodes better than others.

Interested to see where it goes from here!

One of my favourites
Skyrim is by far one of my favourite games that I've ever played and one that I've probably spent the most time on to date (And there's still plenty more for me to do in the game). I started playing skyrim just after the release on xbox 360 and probably spent around 200+ hours playing. And then it came out on xbox one remastered and I bought it immediately and I've done about 500+ hours so far. (Tempted to buy it on ps4 too now as thats the console I mainly use now). Skyrim has a brilliant main storyline and plenty of cool side missions and quests too. It has beautiful graphics and you can create your character how you like and choose what skills and areas to improve while playing. Sometimes you can come across a bug/glitch but most of the time it can be fixed. There are parts in Skyrim that make you angry if you can't do a certain part but all you have to do is come back later when you have upgraded your skills and armour/weapons. You can choose where you want to go and when, you don't have to complete the main story before doing other quests.
