    Episode 333 | "Gears of War: E-Day is one of the year's best."

    Emergence Day has finally arrived and it’s time for Jon, Nick and Jesse to sit down and catch up on all of the incredible games this week in the DayOne Show Episode 333! In a nice change, the big topic this week isn’t on news, or rumours and industry drama, but on the games. None is making more conversation than Gears of War: E-Day, out now in “Early Access” on Xbox and PC. We’ve been playing it, and all agree it’s a genuinely incredible experience, and the best Gears has ever looked, sounded or felt to actually play, ever. Incredibly, E-Day doesn’t stand alone this week in terms of squadmates on the battlefield that is the release calendar. This week has seen a ton of great games release, or their embargos lifted. We’ve got indie metroidvania ‘End of Abyss‘, which is dark, gorgeous and full of challenge and mystery, even if it needed a little more time in the oven. There’s also the crowd-pleasing ‘Minecraft Dungeons 2‘, which while not necessarily a critical success certainly seems to be landing well with players, and is a vast improvement on the first game in the series. Lastly, we’ve got ‘Star Wars: Galactic Racer‘, which has reviewed very highly, and comes thoroughly recommended as an incredibly addictive AAA arcade racer. Really feels like something for everyone this week! On the news front, there’s not a huge amount to talk about. Xbox CEO Asha Sharma declared Xbox is ‘not for sale’ in a recent interview with the New York Times, as Xbox continues to make moves for its console fan-base, with Mythic Achievements available for Xbox insiders on all test rings, and the Disc-to-Digital program is now available to all on console.Sony also revealed God of War Laufey pre-orders are now live, and confirmed Naughty Dog are working on a couple of Last of Us projects, along with sharing that we’ll see more from Intergalactic in 2027.

    End of Abyss | Review

    A new metroidvania title that seems to take the best bits of games like Little Nightmares, Dead Space and throws in a little twin-stick shooting for good measure. This debut release from the team at Section 9 may have flown under your radar, so see if this is one you should pick up with our End of Abyss Review.

    Gears of War: E-Day | Review

    Gears of War: E-Day is the game that cements The Coalition as one of the top developers in gaming. A picture-perfect campaign, full of grit, emotion, brilliant design, and sheer spectacle, takes us through the start of it all. The eponymous Emergence Day sees us through three days and nights of the fall of humanity. It is a stunning achievement, with excellent gameplay, pacing, and writing. Paired with the incredible delights of Horde Siege and a solid PvP multiplayer, E-Day is as thoroughly compelling a package as I have played this generation. Our Gears of War: E-Day Review:

    Episode 332 | "Activision Runs Halo & the Fallout Around Xbox's Continued Reset"

    We're back to talk video games after another turbulent and hectic week in this crazy interesting. We'll break it down in The DayOne Show Episode 332! As we head into the show, there's plenty of games to talk about this week, and we've also been playing plenty we can't yet talk about. First up is Rivage, a new sci-fi puzzler where the player is trapped in a time loop. Jon's played it, and doesn't like it very much. What he did like is Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve, which is an absolute blast to play, even if it's very silly. Jesse's been juggling plenty of things, from new previews for both The Division 2: Echoes of Central Park and a final look at Valor Mortis before release. The big one however, was Silent Hill: Townfall, which sadly, he didn't love, even though it's mostly reviewed pretty positively. If you're after even more game content, don't forget to check out our reviews for Woodo, Nascar 26, Warcraft 3: Forsaken Kingdom and Sin: Reloaded, just for starters! Nick said he's not played any games this week. Boo, Nick! Boo! Plenty of News to Deal with! On the news front, it's fair to say there's a lot to talk about, with PHYSINT/Kojima drama kicking us off, with exorbitant budget rumours, and disagreements among video game pundits and journalists over the whole affair. The big stuff though, was once again focused around a beleaguered Xbox, who once again angered fans and the industry by detailing the next steps of their ongoing "reset" of the business. This time around saw Halo Studios hit hard with job cuts and Halo move over to Activision, along with Rare and World's Edge. Will it all work out? All this and more in The DayOne Show Episode 332!

    Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve | Review

    Ace Combat is most assuredly back. From its massive, ambitious campaign, a multiplayer suite packed with modes, and an aircraft hanger full of exhilarating dogfights and absurdly cool fighters, this is arcade flight combat with the afterburners on full power. Our Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve Review.
