Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, Danger Zone, Guardians of the Galaxy Episode 4, more added to Xbox Store

Posted on October 11, 2017 by John Scalzo

I’m not sure Kenny Loggins knew what he was about to unleash upon the world when he recorded “Danger Zone” in the late 80s. But after adding extra cool points to Top Gun and inspiring countless jokes on Archer, the phrase was borrowed by Three Fields for Danger Zone, their Burnout-inspired vehicular crack ’em up… and it’s now available to download for the Xbox One.

Also available to download for the Xbox One today are two big franchise games… WB Games and Monolith’s Middle-Earth: Shadow of War (which is also an Xbox Play Anywhere title) and Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy – Episode 4: Who Needs You.

You can learn more about all of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store after the break.

Nintendo made a musical trailer for Super Mario Odyssey… The Mummy Demastered will be released on October 24

Posted on October 11, 2017 by John Scalzo

Two games tower above all others on October’s release calendar… Super Mario Odyssey and The Mummy Demastered.

While the appeal of Mario’s next adventure is obvious, WayForward’s adaptation of a Tom Cruise bomb is a bit more surprising. But the developer has jettisoned anything to do with the actor and delivered a retro-inspired “MetroidVania” shooter. And now we know when it’ll be released.

Oh, and Nintendo transformed Super Mario Odyssey into a musical for the game’s latest trailer.

Enjoy both after the break.
