After a year and a half of hype Microsoft's newest console, the Xbox One X, is finally available to buy in stores.

If you want our definitive verdict on the new piece of hardware, then our Xbox One X review is the perfect place to start. TechRadar's own Nick Pino put all the available Xbox One X-enhanced games through their paces to get to the bottom of whether the new hardware is worth its premium asking price.
