What does that mean? Well for starters, we’re completely open and approachable. Despite the fact that we work with hundreds of developers and publishers alike, we will always put forward our views and content without a shred of undeserved favour towards any serving body. That of course includes Microsoft. If they screw up or drop the ball, you’ll hear it here. We may well be an Xbox branded outlet, but we’re here to say it how it is.
Our team consists of individuals that have a great deal of gaming knowledge and passion for the brand, we use that to drive this site in the directions that it moves. You may not always agree with what we say or what we do, but isn’t that the point? It creates an excellent dialogue for not only us to engage with, but you too. Grab a chair, hang your hat, and stick around.

I’ve been gaming since Spy vs Spy on the Master System, growing up as a Sega kid before realising the joy of multi-platform gaming. These days I can mostly be found on smaller indie titles, the occasional big RPG and doing poorly at Apex Legends/Fortnite because I am very OLD. Gamertag: Enaksan @xboxtavern @Enaksan
Gaming, or, games in general, are in my blood. Just shy of an addiction but still an obsession. From opening my mind on the Commodore 64 I have kept up with the generations of gaming, currently residing on the Xbox One.@Grahamreaper
For me it started out on PC, back in the Wolfenstein 3D and Commander Keen days. Now I play across all platforms, but I’m gaming every day, mainly on xbox. I’m easy going, with a full-on achievement hunting addiction that I always say I will give up, but never do! Gamertag: nuttywray @nuttywray
Hailing from the sunny shores of Scotland, my name is Ross. Since first gaming on the SNES to current day next gen and PC, I’ve always been an avid gamer! My Xbox adventure started with the 360 on some Gears of War and haven’t looked back since. As well as my sports fix (love me some Fifa and Madden) I tend to favour the RPG genre, whether it be something like The Witcher or Mass Effect. These days most of my time ends up in the Borderlands series however. Xbox Gamertag is Chaotic8389@ chaoticui
I first got my hands on a gaming console in ‘91 with the NES and haven’t looked back since, playing on a variety of consoles and PCs over the years. Once a year you will also find me doing a trilogy play through of either Mass Effect or Dragon Age. @peterkuninch
My gaming journey started when a friend of mine showed me Mortal Kombat on the Sega Mega Drive. From that first fatality I was hooked! Many school nights were spent playing 4 player GoldenEye which eventually became 4 player Halo. These days you can generally find me in the world of The Witcher or sinking countless hours into Madden when my daughter allows me…@Bubbalove007
My name is Varno Harris II. I currently attend school at Miami University double majoring in journalism and professional writing. My dream is to create and develop a popular video game media company and shape the future of journalism.
From my early days of gaming with Vectrex and eventually NES, I can’t remember a time where gaming wasn’t present in my life. I have been maining Xbox since the release in 2001 and enjoy genres of all kinds. You can mostly find me achievement hunting these days. Gamertag = rawkerdude5012
