#NuNews: There‘s A Hostile Planet Involved

A hostile planet here, a hostile planet there. 

Shake it all around and there's a hostile planet everywhere! 

 

This is our last #NuNews for the year, so let's try end on a high note! In a totally expected move, Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5 has stormed onto the top two spots! Finally, we have something new to say about the charts. Lee does not like Gang Beasts, but you'll have to listen to the next #GameFace! to find out why... FIFA 22 and FIFA 22 are in the charts. No idea which one is which, but it's a very sneaky move by EA. 

 

Achievements are back as a talking point. Seems everyone is hanging out for the Achievement 2.0 upgrade which Microsoft has rumbled about for years. Do you think it will ever come? Who knows at this stage. 
Amazon is rumored to make a Mass Effect series and Kyle doesn't believe this will be any good. Much hand wringing occurs, although Lee is pretty confident it could be interesting at least. Talk about a role reversal! 

Serious Sam 4 gets shadow dropped on Game Pass, which reminds us that games have come out for Game Pass. In fact, all the games have come out for Game Pass. At this stage, if you finish all the games on Game Pass, you get a medal. And with the news that the Xbox Series S being the top selling console for Black Friday, it seems the world is waking up to the value of Series S + Game Pass. 

 

How does the last New & Noteworthy Games land for this year? We start off strong, have a Halo rant, look at some interestng looking games, and then end with a bit of a wet blanket. To say Lee was not impressed is an understatement. 

 

You can now vote for our #GameAwards! We want to hear from you!
