Look, the market is crowded with beekeeping games nowadays. It takes a lot to buikld a buzz when there's so much competition flying around. Still, APICO from Whitethorn Games and TNgineers has continued to grow and pollinate since it debuted last year. After arriving on practically every platform under the sun, APICO has now made it onto Xbox as well. At last, Xbox gamers can keep buzz-y with the game's 4-player online co-op. Oh, and the other versions just got a big update as well.

With what is an extremely subtle nod to the spooky season, Tropico 6 has changed some of the minor aesthetics of the game to reflect these pumpkin-filled times we’re living in. As seen in the images, Tropico 6 has taken a path that allows their core game to stay intact while giving players something festive but not game-altering to enjoy. This update is available now until November 7th and comes to Tropico 6 across Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.

Owning and running your own island empire is a pretty complex gig, especially when you're doing it with your favorite Co-Presidente.  As such, Tropico 6's publisher, Kalypso Media, has announced that the game's release date has been pushed back to March 29th of this year in order to ensure everything is in tip-top shape when it finds its way to the general public.

While the game has been out for some time on the PC and garnered quite a bit of praise and attention, it's only been over the course of the past day that Puuba's rhythm/RPG mash-up, The Metronomicon, has added local co-op functionality. What's more the enhanced version - The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor - is now available on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The latest entry in the longest running toys-to-life franchise is Skylanders Imaginators. Every title has had "its own thing;" SuperChargers introduced vehicles, Trap Team let you capture enemies, and Swap Force involved mixing-and-matching the figures. With Imaginators, you'll be able to design and play your own Skylander in-game.

Tropico 5 may have been out on PC and PS4 for two years and a year respectively, but it has yet to receive the full Xbox One treatment. In a couple of months this will be remedied with the Penultimate Edition, releasing specifically for Xbox One.

A sweaty junior officer bursts into the room, the overwhelming cigar smoke forcing him to take a few extra moments to catch his breath.  With his composure regained, he informs the one known as "El Presidente" that the workers in the eastern farmlands have refused to engage in their mandatory Tropico 5 sessions.  Rumors of dissatisfaction with their personal computers are spreading like wildfire among the common folk.

Have you ever sipped a mojito in your coastal mansion whilst being fanned by fifteen hand-picked peasants, stared out into the ocean, and thought to yourself, "My kingdom... It is beautiful and vast. And yet... I desire more. I yearn for an aquatic dominion."  Well then, does Tropico 5 have the expansion for you.

Tropico 5 has been out for sometime on PC, but console fans have been made to wait.  Time is almost upon us with news that the game is due out on Xbox 360 in November.  As well as receiving the full 4 player co-op game, you will also get the 'Big Cheese' DLC - an extra which allows you to create a dictatorship based on dairy products.

Like this news story, a patch to add a missing feature to a game is better late than never. Our biggest complaint with Tropico 5's co-op gameplay was the inability to save a game during a session, forcing players into lengthy matches if they wanted to see any significant progress. Now a new patch alongside some fresh DLC has remedied the situation and added more things to do.

It's been a long time since I've played a Tropico game, in fact, it might be since the first game in the series. The Tropico games have always been about building up and managing an island in the caribbean, with all the tasks and risks you'd expect for the situation.
