In terms of September, things start hotting up. Stray Gods: The Roleplaying Musical and Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon hurt the most, so make sure to keep an eye out for those two. We had to apply a vigorous filtering system to just get to thirteen of the best new Xbox games for August, as there are some fantastic games that we had to ignore. It’s a fever dream brought on from Papa Shango’s spells, and we can’t wait to see what it’s got hiding under the ring. Macho Man Randy Savage is among them, as you fight in the ring and out of it, dropping powerbombs on mythical enemies.

It’s a ‘hero’s journey in tights’ as the promotional material says, as you take your newbie wrestler on an adventure through a magical realm with wrestling greats as your mentors. Unlike a lot of the recent indie wrestling games that we’ve been grappling with, WrestleQuest is undoubtedly the most imaginative, whimsical and nostalgia-fuelled. We want to find our old Legion of Doom costumes (won’t fit: we don’t care), apply the face makeup and practice jumping from the top-rope. As a child of the ‘80s, WrestleQuest makes us all kinds of happy.
