Pedestrians and tourists, take cover as the streets are about to get even more reckless! Jump into the cab and rush all around town to pick up the craziest of customers, and drop them off as fast as you can. With Taxi Chaos we wanted to bring a throwback to a classic and almost forgotten arcade racing genre in video game history — and now it’s available for Xbox One!

Traffic rushing down the streets, pedestrians crossing the sidewalks and passengers of all kinds eagerly waiting for you to pick them up. Welcome to New Yellow City, a town where everybody has too many places to be, but never enough time to get there. The team has done everything within its power to create the perfect arcade city.

Just like the classics, the gameplay in Taxi Chaos is centered around picking up passengers and bringing them to their destination of … Read the rest

As game developers, we should be held accountable for creating great games that are inclusive to all, championing the player experience and building positive player communities. With almost 20 years in game development, creating a space where everyone on the planet can experience the joys of gaming remains paramount for me.

My current work on Forza Motorsport continues to teach me invaluable lessons about great and inclusive game design. I will always champion the culture of gaming for all so that it is directly a part of the game development process. First and foremost is ensuring that game designs are adaptable and support diverse play styles for our equally diverse players. Another valuable lesson is the importance of creating boundaries to support safer communities as part of building game experiences. I bring this knowledge with me as I continue to work on games for Xbox and push player experiences to … Read the rest

Don’t ever stop dreaming. If you are anything like me, you’ve been dreaming about superpowers, aliens, and secret societies since you were eight. Here’s a game with a little bit of everything mixed in a weird world looking a lot like a third-world country.

Ok, I know I said “weird,” but words like different, funny, or smart are not quite enough to describe Covered. Don’t get me wrong: weird and funny is what I like the most. I enjoy dark humor as much as the next guy, and I’m one of those who find it hard not to read between the lines every time I hear the news. Let’s be honest, it’s hard to stop your mind from wondering about conspiracy theories. Tell me, have you ever looked up to the sky asking aliens to invade us right now before it’s too late? Because I have, many times!

I’m … Read the rest
