Ghost in the Hell
Bullet hell shoot-'em-ups can be intimidating to jump into if you're not a diehard player of the genre. Where Ghost Blade HD succeeds most is in finding the delicate balance between offering a level of difficulty that doesn't turn off newcomers, but also challenges seasoned veterans. Before starting the actual game you can jump...
Review LEGO Harry Potter Collection (PS4)
You're a LEGO, 'Arry
The two LEGO Harry Potter games proved a fun romp through the story of the seven books and eight films back on the PlayStation 3, and now Traveller's Tales has ported the experience as a complete package to the PlayStation 4. Initially released as Years 1-4 and Years 5-7, the LEGO Harry Potter Collection pulls both games...
Review Jazzpunk: Director's Cut (PS4)
Secret agent Polybank
Jazzpunk: Director's Cut is one of the wildest rides on the PlayStation 4, despite being a relatively short game. Initially released on PC back in 2014, developer Necrophone Games has finally brought it to the PS4 over two years later. It's hard to accurately describe what exactly Jazzpunk is; sometimes it's a first-person...
Review Slain: Back from Hell (PS4)
Still in hell
Slain: Back from Hell is a game that captures your attention immediately. It's a heavy metal inspired 2D hack-and-slash with some of the most beautiful pixel graphics and art design that you'll see. In an age where games using the pixel-art style are a dime a dozen, Slain stands out from the crowd not only with its metal aesthetic, but...
Full moon
Kitfox Games has created something quite unique with Moon Hunters. At first it appears to be quite a standard action role-playing game with the option to play with up to four players. However, playing the game for just a couple minutes shows you that there are plenty of unique and fresh ideas on display. The most obvious idea on display...
Cyberpunk'd
Dex is an open world, side scrolling, action RPG that takes place in a far future Cyberpunk setting, and appears to have taken some inspiration from classic Metroid and Castlevania games. This combination seems like a gamer's dream come true, however developer Dreadlocks seem to have neglected including enjoyable gameplay, instead...
Kill me
The premise behind 7 Days to Die is strong: it's an open-world zombie survival horror game smashed together with the crafting and building elements of Minecraft. That description sounds compelling, but the final product doesn't come anywhere near to being fun. Before you jump into the actual game, you are given a plethora of options to...
Review N.E.R.O.: Nothing Ever Remains Obscure (PS4)
Nothing ever remains enjoyable
N.E.R.O.: Nothing Ever Remains Obscure is another entry into the "walking simulator" genre. In this instance, however, developer Storm in a Teacup has tried to address the constant criticism that these style of games don't actually have any gameplay. N.E.R.O. is billed as an interactive visual novel and it definitely...
Mighty big shoes to fill
From the moment that the Kickstarter for Mighty No. 9 was announced, there were enormous expectations placed upon it, and it was always going to be impossible to live up to them. The hype came from Keiji Inafune and a team of Mega Man veterans being at the helm of what appeared to be a spiritual successor to the classic...

E3 2016 Trials of the Blood Dragon Is Out Now on PS4
Psychedelic
Ubisoft has announced an insane mash-up between Trials and Far Cry: Blood Dragon, and has dropped an equally big bombshell that it is available on the PlayStation 4 now. Trials of the Blood Dragon takes the 80s nostalgia aesthetic of Blood Dragon and smashes it together with the gameplay of the Trials series to create something insane...

Developer Arkane Austin is in charge of the game and it is currently unknown whether this is a sequel, reboot, or re-imagining of the 2006 title of the same name. However, as this new release doesn't have a number in the title, it's safe...

Let's play some football
EA has shown off a brand new gameplay trailer for Madden NFL 17 using entirely in-game footage at its EA Play press conference.

Feeling blue

However, for the moment, the developer has only given the game a vague Winter 2016 time frame for when the game will be released outside of Japan. Central Fiction was...
Paint the night
You'd be forgiven for thinking Soft Body is a very unambitious game at first glance. The simple 2D graphics give the impression of a simple Flash game, however upon digging deeper we found that it's incredibly ambitious in its attempt to bring two genres together as one. Soft Body blends the action/puzzle genre with a twin-stick...
