Join the trio of Gareth (the host), James, and Richard for TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 21 as they talk about a wide range of topics from the gaming world and beyond. Prepare to uncover what they’ve been playing on Xbox One, discover their thoughts on ‘Which games would make the best TV shows?’ and what news has stood out this week.
The episode kicks off with some chatter about a couple of the newest films to hit the cinema, Downhill and The Invisible Man. Talk soon shifts to the fact that Yakuza 0 has been front and centre in regards of what they’ve been playing, although the likes of free-to-play Bless Unleashed and puzzle Death Squared got a bit of their time too. News about HBO creating “The Last of Us” for TV sparked a discussion about what other games it would be good to see given the same treatment, or even made into a film.
With resident quizmaster Richard on the podcast, the latter part of the episode pitted Gareth and James against each other in a gaming quiz. With one win each from previous podcasts, this is the decider. You’ll have to give it a listen to find out who’s the ultimate winner!

This week, our host Gareth is joined by podcast regular James and the resident quiz master Richard, to discuss all sorts including PS4’s Dreams game and the award-winning film, Parasite. There’s also a pancake themed quiz!
The trio have played a lot of games recently, seeing them flying drones in DCL – The Game, uncovering the mysteries of lives lost at sea in Draugen, solving Rush Hour style puzzles in Bunny Parking, and even diving back into The Division 2, to name just a few. They’re looking forward to the impending Xbox Game Pass titles too, with Yakuza 0 and Two Point Hospital creating a real buzz.
And then it’s time to get serious as the fierce rivalry between Gareth and James is reignited by a pancake themed quiz created by Richard. After losing convincingly in the previous quiz, can James dish up a serving of revenge or has Gareth got all the right answers once more?

Episode 18 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast is in the house and we gather round once more to chat all things gaming, Xbox and... achievement hunting. Oh, and there's a pretty special exclusive interview with the team behind Those Who Remain too.
Join Gareth as the host, Neil as the bike-obsessed record grabber and James - the self confessed Gamerscore addict - as TheXboxHub team get together again for a good old natter.
In Episode 18 of TXH's Official Podcast a huge variety of topics are covered, as the guys chat about the latest games they've been playing - games like Glass Masquerade 2 - what they are looking forward to over the course of the next week or so, and why on earth us Xbox gamers are still utterly dedicated to collecting Gamerscore and achievements. The main question though is whether the whole Gamerscore thing has had its day, or if there is enough draw for gamers of all types to still enjoy the ping of a cheevo.
But further to the inane babble we also play host to a rather special interview - an exclusive sit down with the main mind behind the upcoming horror experience, Those Who Remain. If you're interested in knowing more about what makes the team at Studio Camel 101 tick and why you should be excited for the launch of Those Who Remain, you'll want to listen in to see what is divulged.

TheXboxHub Official Podcast returns for Episode 17 and the TXH team get together once more to talk about the latest happenings in gaming. It’s not all about Xbox One though, with the terrific trio of Gareth (the host), James, and Neil keen to discuss the hot topics in TV and film as well as what’s occurring on other platforms. The big focus this week is on the draws of co-op play and whether it triumphs over single player offerings.
The team have been playing all sorts of games and enjoying various experiences in the past seven days, including the surreal goings on in Kentucky Route Zero: TV Edition, the puzzling antics of Glass Masquerade 2, the wonderfully animated point-and-clicker Trüberbrook, and the zombie infested world of Zombie Army 4: Dead War. There’s also chat about the impending Xbox Game Pass arrivals and the announcement of another construction simulator on the horizon.
When talk turns to the pros and cons of co-op gaming, things really get kicked up a notch with references to some great games such as A Way Out, The Division, Strange Brigade and many more. By the end of it you may well be left convinced that co-op is generally better than single player.

Episode 16 of TheXboxHub Official Podcast sees the TXH team come together once more to chat about film, TV, and um, whether Batman or Spiderman is the best. In amongst the nonsense though they actually spend a fair bit of time talking all things Xbox One and gaming. After all, this is a gaming podcast. Apparently.
Join the usual host with the most, Gareth, along with long-term attendee James, and the part-timer otherwise known as Neil as the guys chew the fat over the latest Xbox One news, reviews, opinions and videos.
With more than a passing mention for the brilliantly hilarious Journey to the Savage Planet, a deep conversation surrounding why rugby games aren't particularly great, and why the strangely weird Mosaic is something that everyone should play, those games certainly get a good going over.
There's also a brief chat about the latest free Xbox Games With Gold titles, and how they stack up against the PlayStation offerings, and even those of Google Stadia.
But it's not just about the good games and TheXboxHub Official Podcast Episode 16 delves into the other side of the coin too - those games which no-one should be playing. But what is the worst Xbox One game ever, and why on earth was it ever released? Is it a case of greed on the developers front? Or a lack of skills? Let us know what you think by posting in the comments below or by hitting up the YouTube channel and passing thought there.
