insiderThe future of XboxWhat a show. This year’s E3 was absolutely phenomenal, and leading the pack was Microsoft, championing 50-plus games, including 18 exclusives and 15 world premieres on their stage. There were so many games announced it was a struggle to fit them all in the mag, but it all goes to show just how bright the future of Xbox is looking.

insiderWHO WON E3?1 Cyberpunk 2077Our top spot has to go to this insanely impressive-looking sci-fi first-person RPG that has one of the most technically impressive worlds full of choice we’ve ever seen. Turns out you can outdo The Witcher 3.2 Gears Of War 5It’s been a while since we last saw the series, and it’s great to see it coming back so strongly with Kait in the lead. It also looks a lot darker than previous entries. We can’t wait to get our hands on it.3 Assassin’s Creed OdysseyWe weren’t expecting another Assassin’s game this year, but this Greek adventure looks absolutely gorgeous and the option to romance people is exactly what we didn’t know we wanted until now.…1 min
