    Nobody 2 Review

    Editors Thoughts

    Nobody 2 is another perfect summertime fling for anyone looking for a fun, no-strings-attached movie night. Packed with slick action sequences and genuinely funny moments, it delivers the kind of entertainment you can just sit back and enjoy.
    While the story treads familiar ground – the kind of formula you’ve seen in plenty of other action flicks – it’s still every bit as enjoyable and engaging as the first film. The soundtrack is fantastic, the visuals are sharp, and the pacing keeps you hooked.

    Even if this genre isn’t normally your thing, Nobody 2 might just win you over and leave you wanting more. The cast is a big part of its charm, with standouts like Bob Odenkirk, Christopher Lloyd, Connie Nielsen, Colin Hanks, and John Ortiz all bringing their A-game.
    If you’re in the mood to switch off your brain, relax, and watch one of the most entertaining films of the year, I’d highly recommend Nobody 2.

  • Weapons Review

    Weapons Review

    From New Line Cinema and Zach Cregger, the wholly original mind behind Barbarian, comes a new horror/thriller: Weapons.

    Editors Thoughts

    Weapons is not just a great horror film – it’s easily one of the best films of 2025.

    The visuals are striking, with cinematography that keeps you second-guessing what’s about to happen. Every shot feels intentional, pulling you deeper into its unsettling world.

    This is a film that thrives on atmosphere and tension. Few horror movies manage to make you feel as deeply uncomfortable and on-edge as Weapons does.

    If you’ve ever seen how unnerving kids can be in horror films, you’ll know the effect – but Weapons takes it a step further. It’s the kind of film that makes your skin crawl, as if spiders are creeping over you.

    I’d highly recommend Weapons to anyone – even if horror isn’t your thing. It’s the type of movie that stays with you, making the night feel just a little less safe.

  • We’re Back – InsideXO Returns Stronger Than Ever

    We’re Back – InsideXO Returns Stronger Than Ever

    It’s been a little quiet here on InsideXO lately. I wanted to take a moment to share what’s been happening. I also want to discuss where we’re headed next.

    The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind for me personally. I started a new job. I had to take a short break to catch my breath. With so much going on, I had to step back from the site for a little while. But the great news is this: InsideXO is back and refreshed. It is ready to bring you more of the reviews, features, and community moments you love.

    What’s Coming Next

    Over the next few weeks, you can expect:

    • Fresh Reviews – More honest, in-depth takes on indie games, movies, and shows that deserve your attention.
    • Features & Spotlights – Deep dives, lists, and special highlights that celebrate the creativity of the industries we love.
    • Community Content – From Discord events to interactive posts, we’ll be exploring different ways. Our goal is to make you part of the story.

    For now, we’re going to temporarily pause our XO News section. I love the idea. But, it makes sense to focus on what InsideXO does best, thoughtful reviews and features. We will regain a steady rhythm first. Then we’ll explore reintroducing news in a way that feels natural. It should also be sustainable.

    A Thank You to the XO Community

    Even during this break, people have still been visiting the site daily, and that means the world. It shows me that InsideXO has already built something worth returning to. Thank you for your patience, your support, and your belief in what we’re creating together.

    Let’s Get Back to It

    So here’s the deal: InsideXO is back. The next wave of reviews and features begins Imminently, and I couldn’t be more excited to share them with you.

    Alongside this, we are finally launching our XO Screen section. Keep an eye out for when that button goes live!

    This is just the beginning – let’s make InsideXO bigger, better, and more connected than ever.

    Stay tuned, and welcome back to XO.

  • Phasmophobia Announces New Small Map – Neil’s Diner.

    Phasmophobia Announces New Small Map – Neil’s Diner.

    The Developer behind the beloved ghost-hunting horror Phasmophobia has announced their next Small Map

    ‘‘Nell’s Diner, serving the city of Tuscon, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.’’

    Neil’s Diner takes inspiration from classic American diners. It will be the next addition to the map list for players to explore in Phasmophobia. Neil’s Diner features 13 rooms and 11 unique ghost rooms. It will become the game’s 14th map. Many players are very excited to get a new small map. I find the big maps rather tricky with only a small duo!

    One cool feature they’ve mentioned is a freezer room. It makes it just that extra bit tricky to identify the ghost. You will struggle to find the freezing temps evidence!

    Sadly there isn’t a release date just yet, but we will keep you informed as soon as one is released!

    One thing we do have a release for however, is the rework of Grafton Farmhouse!

    This will now look completely different to its sister map, and will feature as more run-down and derelict, we can’t wait to dive in and check this one out on August 12th, 2025 when the update drops!

  • Battlefield 6 Loaded with Bots? DICE have responded.

    Battlefield 6 Loaded with Bots? DICE have responded.

    With Loads of chatter about the use of Bots in Battlefield 6 Matches, DICE Have finally responded

    Battlefield 6 has just entered into its Early-Access open Beta, and along side enormous queue’s and frequent glitches, players have shifted their concerns to another issue, Bots?

    The battlefield community have responded very negatively to comments made earlier this week about the potential use of bots to help fill lobbies

    Fortunately, In a statement posted to social media, DICE offered some context. They states bots are only used on the Training Grounds playlists within the Open Beta. This week, that means Breakthrough Initiation. These playlists are designed to introduce people to the core elements of Breakthrough and as such they offer a nicer experience than a full lobby, DICE explained.

    Here’s The Full Statement.

    Clarification on AI Soldiers within Open Beta. AI Soldiers are only present on the “Training Grounds” playlists within the Open Beta. This week is “Breakthrough Initiation”. Breakthrough Initiation is a playlist that allows you to experience Breakthrough alongside 15 other players, with additional AI Soldiers filling up the match thereafter. Training Grounds playlists are here to introduce people to the core elements of Breakthrough, and offer a smoother experience than a full lobby. Additionally, you can experience Breakthrough without AI Soldiers by playing Breakthrough from the “Featured” playlist row. Training Grounds is only available for the first 15 ranks, at which point it will disappear from the front end.
