There are plenty of science fiction games out there, such as the Mass Effect franchise, but it’s difficult to come across a game set in space based on fairly realistic technology. Along comes Deliver Us The Moon and its bleak take on what the future will most likely hold for humanity.
Review: 911 Operator
First of all, this game is in no way related to Ryan Murphy’s popular 911 TV show and the outlandish accidents that the team deals with in each episode. Instead, 911 Operator is more of a simulation of what life is like for brave people such as firefighters and police officers.
Review: HyperX CloudX Chat Headset for Xbox One
Here’s our review of the HyperX CloudX Chat Headset for Xbox One.
The Officially Xbox Licensed HyperX CloudX Chat Headset is built with 40mm driver for clear voice chat communication. It has a flexible noise-cancellation mic, pop filter, and in-line audio controls to easily adjust volume and mute the mic. The single ear cup allows you to hear game audio from your TV or home entertainment system as you chat in-game with your squad or party chat with friends. Featuring a lightweight, reversible design, the chat headset can be worn comfortably on either ear.
Features
- Official Xbox Licensed chat headset
- Clear voice chat communication
- Lightweight comfort and reversible design
- Convenient in-line audio controls
- Forward compatibility: Works on Xbox Series X
What’s in the box?
The box contains the headset and a quick start guide.
A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The HyperX CloudX Chat Headset is small and lightweight – in fact to make it easy to carry and store the headset breaks into two pieces. It’s also primarily designed so that you reverse the headset if you wish. When you first open the box you need to fix it together which is very easy, pulling it apart takes a little more effort but isn’t that hard.
All you need to do is then plug the headset into your Xbox One controller and away you go. HyperX say that the headset is also compatible with the forthcoming Xbox Series X console.
The headset sits comfortably on your head, with the one ear cup on whichever side you are most comfortable with. You can then use your other ear to listen to the game, or whatever else you need.
The headset is controlled from the in-line controller – you can change the volume on in-game chat or party chat, and you can choose to mute the mic entirely if you want to.
The microphone is permanently connected to the headset so if you are not using it you can move it out of the way. The audio quality on the mic is good and picks up your voice clearly.
The HyperX CloudX Chat Headset for Xbox One is available now priced around £19.99 and for that price you can’t go wrong – just remember it’s designed for chat.

Nusakan Studio and Perp Games are delighted to reveal that Taurus VR has received a major new Friend or Foe Seasonal Update on Steam Early Access.
The Friend or Foe event is designed to encourage competition with a new point-based system added to the leaderboards.
Nusakan Studios have introduced a brand new environment to the game which has very dark and swampy vibes.

The new update also coincides with a price drop on Steam Early Access, and Taurus VR is now available for £4.64.
Taurus VR is retro reimagined for VR with its focus on arcade-style space shooting action and an emphasis on 6-degree body movement that really gets your adrenaline pumping.
Taurus VR pits you against an ever-present alien threat, requiring the player to use full-body movement to steer the ship and arm gestures to fulfil the attack and defensive mechanisms.
During the game’s Early Access period, Nusakan Studio have an extensive and generous content roadmap laid out, leading into the game’s full launch in the summer of 2020.
Taurus VR currently features four worlds and six spaceships. Each spaceship has unique properties, with some better suited to certain encounters than others.
With the release of this first tier, there are still a further three tiers on the content roadmap leading into launch. The final release of Taurus VR is expected to have five worlds, nine spaceships with additional mods, as well as boss battles, seasonal events and much more. Purchasing Taurus VR during the Early Access period will represent incredible value for money with the amount of content being generated by Nusakan Studio.
Of the announcement, Jaime Núñez, Creative Director at Nusakan Studios says “Adding seasonal events shows our ongoing commitment to making Taurus VR bigger and better, adding fresh content all the time. With a brand new ship, environment, and point-based leaderboard, you can try lots of new things. But I recommend you unlock all the other spaceships and worlds first so you’re fully prepared for the challenges that await in the Friend or Foe update. Do your best, pilot.”
Taurus VR is now available on Steam Early Access along with a full demo. Taurus VR will leave Early Access and release in full Summer 2020 for all major PC Headsets.

The headset is comfortable to wear for extended periods of time and is easily adjusted to fit your head easily. There are additional ear cushions included in the box you can use for even more comfort. The headset itself is very hard wearing so it can take a beating!
The sound quality through the headphones is excellent, there are even adjustment sliders for the bass if you feel you want to adjust it – there are three different levels you can choose from. The virtual 7.1 surround sound really works well because of NGENUITY which auto-detects supported games and selects the best sound profile.

The carry bag is useful to keep your headset and all it’s bits safe when carrying it around or storing it when you are not using it.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Xbox Series X Gameplay
Get a first look at gameplay for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Footage is representative of Xbox Series X gameplay!
Ninth century AD. Driven from Norway by endless wars and dwindling resources, a Viking raider, Eivor, leads a clan of Norsemen across the icy North Sea to the rich lands of England’s broken kingdoms. Their mission: establish a new permanent home, no matter the cost.
My Final Thoughts..
Well….Xbox fans wanted games…and games is what they got from today’s Inside Xbox, all of these being third party games and we still have the Microsoft Studios lineup to be revealed in July. Some are 2021 titles as to be expected by having Yakuza: Like a Dragon as a day one launch title for the Xbox Series X and Xbox One is just incredible.
Had hoped for more of a true gameplay demo for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, but it looks incredible with a look at how raiding will have an impact on gameplay as Eivor and his tribe try to get a foothold in England as well as a cheeky hint at the use of Stonehenge perhaps as well.
The RTX and graphical power of the Xbox Series X was unleashed today and the footage was incredible with the lighting, particle effects all evolved with the power of the Series X console. I knew it would be impressive but these are just the third party games, just imagine what the 15 Microsoft Studios have to show off come July. One thing is for sure…..
Xbox Series X is ready to go!

Adding to the growing roster of playable fighters, the new expansion features the triumphant return of Fujin, the God of Wind who serves as Earthrealm’s protector alongside his brother Raiden, and Sheeva, the four-armed, half-human and half-dragon queen of the ancient Shokan race.

The mat looks very clean and simple and so will look good on your desk or table. It’s just a little bigger than the three devices placed next to each other (6.9 by 3.5 by 0.5 inches) so it doesn’t take up much room at all.
There is an LED light on the mat that indicates the progress of the charging, however this might be covered up if you put a device on it. But then its easy to check your device for the status of its battery.
