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.
