Ellen went to Japan and all she came back with was a louzy biohazard...! No, wait, sorry, Biohazard MERCH, aka Resident Evil merch. Ah, phew! See what prezzies she got for team Oxbox! youtu.be/1D2Npn2X4Y0

Jane holds up a first aid spray while Andy looks excitedly at the camera. Behind them is a packet of Blue Herbs bath powder - apparently made by the Umbrella Corporation - with an image of blue herbs from the game, and the tagline "relax bath time".

Lara Croft carries entire salads in that backpack?! Tomb Raider fangirl Ellen saw some new Legacy of Atlantis gameplay and - outside of Alix Wilton Regan's excellent casting - just isn't excited about this remake. New video on Youtube now: youtu.be/eo5bQulBrHc

Lara Croft from Legacy of Atlantis, pictured next to an image of an in-game salad, which looks quite unappetising now we've looked at it properly.

Dark Souls fan Ellen goes through the good, the bad, and the ugly about her time with upcoming cowboy-themed FPS soulslike, Guns of Eschaton. Spoilers: she died a lot. youtu.be/-75VpZesdKM

"TOO HARD" with written in large letters, next to the main character from Guns of Eschaton, who is carrying a pistol and has 4 magical harms appearing from behind him, all holding skulls.

The newest Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer was revealed at D23 last weekend, and, okay, fine, Ellen is actually a bit excited for the game now she knows there's definitely at least one Disney world in it. Watch here: youtu.be/rYaaZ951XQc

Ellen smiles excitedly next to a picture of Sora from Kingdom Hearts in Dia de Los Muertos face paint, holding a Coco themed Keyblade. The gorgeously multicoloured Land of the Dead is behind them.

Ellen and Mike are here to try and answer one simple, but worrying, question: Is VR Dead? Dear viewers, it might be... youtu.be/8UEC9Sk640A

Text reads "VR is dead", Ellen looks shocked, Mike looks a bit sad, and a PSVR 2 headset has two crosses over its eyes like it's a dead cartoon character.

So, turns out Nintendo helped make the PlayStation...?! In our latest video, Ellen spills the tea on how Nintendo's biggest rival came to be... youtu.be/00bMASi8Rz0

Ellen sips dramatically from a mug of tea. Next to her is a picture of the original PlayStation one, and also a prototype CD SNES, which was built by Sony and also labelled the PlayStation.

Outside Xtra @outsidextra.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Ellen isn't excited about an all-digital gaming future. For many reasons, including one reason we've talked about before on Oxtra multiple times... Watch here: youtu.be/lzfwfHENSx8

"This is gonna hurt" is writted in big text, next to an image of Ellen looking disappointedly at the camera, holding up a copy of God of War Ragnarok with a big red cross over it, indicating no more physical media being made.

Ellen looks happy and shocked towards the camera. She is holding joy-cons and her arms are held up as if the is holding a bow and arrow. The screen behind her shows an arrow on the bullseye, +10 points, and gold streamers and confetti.

Ellen rounded up some more late-gen Pokémon for the Oxbox team to guess! This time, it's the CREEPY ones....! 😱 👻 Which have the creepiest Pokédex entries, and which will Mike, Jane and Andy get right? youtu.be/38asecooEns

Jane looks worriedly at the silhouette of a Pokemon. There is a large question mark between them. The palette of the image is very dark and purple.

Ellen is sick of firing up online stores only to find a torrent of low effort, asset-flipping, AI-covered cat games. Here's a new video on just some of the slop she's dredged up. I'm Done With Cat Slop youtu.be/Y1Kz9RFOD3A

Ellen, wearing cat ears and holding a magnifying glass, stands annoyed in front of various ai-generated game art of cats, including from "cat simulator" and "little strays 2", which reads a "little 2 strays" because of the bad title formatting.

Ellen's played some of the upcoming Star Fox for the Nintendo Switch 2, aka the newest iteration of Star Fox 64. She has strong opinions on how the game plays, how the game looks, and (most importantly) which character the Internet is going to think is hottest. Watch here! youtu.be/wrHZmrdzOqg

Text reads "not the sexy one" with an arrow pointing to Star Fox from the upcoming Nintendo Switch game. He has very intense green eyes.

Ellen thinks 2026 should be the Year of Yoshi. Why? Well multiple reasons, including her hands-on experience with the upcoming Yoshi and the Mysterious Book! Discover them all in the latest oxtra video! youtu.be/iVs-m7zJeqA

Ellen smiles looking slightly sinister, she holds a finger up as she makes a point. Mike looks concerned to camera, Jane looks wide-eyed towards Ellen. A large Yoshi is superimposed amongst them

It's time for: HARD MODE Who's That Pokemon? With well over 1000 Pokémon now in existence, how many do Jane and Mike know? Ellen pulled together a small selection of the non-150-original pokes in order to test their knowledge... Will you do any better?? Join in here: youtu.be/QronVWIAUjs

Mike looks quizzically at the camera, next to a pokemon silhouette and a big yellow question mark. the background is a badly drawn replica of the "who's that pokemon?" background.
