We're trying to make sense of Lee. But it seems impossible. Can you help?
This week Xbox 360 versions of The Witcher 2, Crackdown (which is 11 years old), Fable and Forza Horizon (yes, the original) got enhanced for the One X, which is pretty amazing, and they are looking better than ever.
We go over the best selling games of January and number 10 will underwhelm you, Ubisoft is making all the right moves, Burnout Paradise is getting remastered and Destiny 2 gets an update. We also have a donate button on our website and stickers!
But possibly the most exciting thing for this week is that Rare is immortalising players' most memorable achievements in Sea of Thieves and doing a fantastic job of it.
This is a full on week for news and excitement and so far one of our best episodes (no bias at all here).

What we thought was a quiet week on the news side ends up with info coming at us from all sides! Luckily we are here to help break it all down for you.
EA might lose Star Wars, mods coming to Cities: Skylines, Xbox One is on fire in Japan and GTA 5 sells how many copies!?
Simone tries to prepare us for a llama apocolypse but we get distracted by Age of Empires Definitive Edition and we hear all about the other new games that have headed, or are still heading, our way this week. And its true - Simone knows things!
Kyle raves about Firewatch, Lee says how bad Crazy Taxi is and Simone puts the boys to shame by completeing Ryse on Legendary difficulty.
All this and more in this weeks episode.

The Xboxcast Presents: A Conversation With Merv

Our first podcast of 2018 brings a very rusty Xboxcast.
These holidays might have been a little too good. While we struggle to get back into the groove, we yell questions at our special guest – Jeremy.
Jeremy is a proud owner of an Oculus Rift and has spent many hours in VR, so it a was great opportunity to talk about the technology and where it could be going.
If you like what you hear, follow Jeremy on his blog at Pythagean on Wordpress and his Twitter @JeremeyStone7.

For our last podcast of 2017, we have Lee on with us.
You may have heard us mention him as Little Lee or Lieutenant Lee. Lee is new to the Xbox family and new to gaming in general, so his thoughts on Xbox come from a place of 'innocence'...
In a first, The Xboxcast all had more than one beer, so things got a little... excited...
If you like what you hear, follow Lee @Lieutenantlee69 on Twitter and Xbox.
