    Episode 330 | "Is Kojima Productions now Xbox Exclusive?"

    My god, what a week! From epic betrayals, the return of childhood classics and an epic opening showcase for fans, there's plenty to talk about. We are going to get into it in The DayOne Show Episode 330! As always, before we get into things, we do take a moment to dive into the games we've been playing this week. The lovely Joe Cumbo has been playing The Blood of Dawnwalker and has rendered his verdict on the Xbox Series X version with the 'Day One' patch in play, so be sure to go check it out. Nick's been playing Avatar: Fighting Legends and not having a good time, but thoroughly enjoying what he's played of Crazy Taxi so far. Jon's been playing co-op puzzle platformer WheelMates, which isn't too bad for the price, but it's a shame more wasn't done to take advantage of WheelMates unique, twitchy RC-Car setup, because on that front, the developers have done a great job. Jesse's been playing lots of things he can't talk about, but did talk a little about NBA2K27 and his continued issues with Star Wars Zero Company on PC. Beyond the games, there's a ton of news to talk about. We started the week with a surprising leak from Steam that revealed the achievements for a ton of announced and unannounced games. Then, Nintendo made some dreams come true with a Zelda Direct, revealing gameplay for The Ocarina of Time, a Special 'Anniversary' Switch 2 console and accessories and even an ocarina you can buy. Nifty! Then we go Nintendo Direct part two, with a ton of 3rd party reveals and some surprises, including Metroid Ravenous and a new Kirby game! We capped off this weekend with a ton of announcements from Blizzcon - a new Starcraft open-world shooter, Diablo V was announced and World of Warcraft: Forever was revealed. For everything from Blizzcon, check out our roundup here. Enjoy this episode? Let us know in the comments below!

    Exodus | Hands-on Preview

    Exodus is the Mass Effect-style Sci-fi RPG I have been waiting for. Wizards of the Coast flew us out to Austin, Texas, a few weeks ago to play a 90-ish-minute hands-on demo. Through microgravity, with ‘alien’ powers on his side, I controlled Jun Aslan in a mission on a space station full of Awoken frogs, and I loved it.Our Exodus hands-on Preview!

    Speedrunners 2: King of Speed | Review

    Speedrunners 2: King of Speed is something I’ve been looking foward to for a while. The original is one of my friendship group’s top couch co-op/LAN Party games, so the idea of a bigger, prettier sequel with more players and more ways to troll each other should have been an easy win. Unfortunately, while the core Speedrunners experience remains every bit as brilliant as the original, much of what has been built around it feels unnecessary. Or Speedrunners 2 Review!

    N+∞X2 | Hands-on Preview

    If you’re an old grey-beard like me, you’ll probably remember flash games. One of the more popular ones was N from the team at Metanet Software, which led us to N+ in 2008 and then N++in 2015. I played them all a fair bit and now, the team at Metanet are back with a new instalment. I went hands-on at Gamescom, and I thought we could all take a nice trip down memory lane together. Our N+∞X2 hands-on preview.

    Alien Deathstorm | Hands-on Preview

    We got roughly 20 minutes of playtime with Alien Deathstorm at Gamescom 2026. Rebellion, most famous for its Sniper Elite franchise, has put its spin on an Aliens-inspired game, with a fun shooter that made a solid first impression.
