This 100ft bogey’s all over me
Golf, eh? A gentleman's game, leisurely paced and frightfully mannered. Not the sort of real world sport you might immediately think to add giant mech suits and mass destruction to – but 100ft Robot Golf brings heavy metal mech mayhem to the PlayStation 4's first real-time PlayStation VR compatible golf game. The...
Review Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors (PS Vita)
I hope that's a PS Vita in your pocket
The original Criminal Girls: Invite Only game was a fun, turn-based JPRG dungeon crawler released on PSP and then reworked for the VITA. Lots was made of the added, er, tactical 'rubbing' of the naughty girls in your party to power them up, which formed a series of slightly dubious minigames alongside the main...
Balls to the wall
Welcome to the future of electronic sport. Sure, Videoball may not look like a cutting edge PlayStation 4 game, with simple visuals of friendly-looking triangles (which you control) and circles (the titular videoballs themselves) – but thanks to a cunningly refined game engine and simple controls, this is pure addictive fun...
My God – it's full of stars
Every now and then a game comes out of nowhere with no hype or fanfare and perfectly rocks your video gaming world.

Review The Witch and the Hundred Knight: Revival Edition (PS4)
It's a remastered kind of magic

Yes, Nippon Ichi Software – the developer of the superb turn-based strategy role-playing Disgaea franchise – has decided to polish up its real-time battler The Witch and the Hundred Knight, adding Revival Edition to its already lengthy name on the...
Review This War of Mine: The Little Ones (PS4)
The first casualty of war is innocence

Review Primal Carnage: Extinction (PS4)
A tyrannosaurus wreck?
Ever fancied stomping on or maybe munching some gun-toting Call of Duty-esque humans as a prehistoric monster? How about hunting dinosaurs with a variety of weapons? Well, the good news is that Circle 5 has your back with Primal Carnage: Extinction, which has been ported from the PC to the PlayStation 4. The bad news,...
Review Battle Trivia Knockout (PS4)
The quizmaster is out on his feet
It was legendary World War 2 soldier General Patton who said "battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge". We don't think that he'd have said that if he'd just been playing Battle Trivia Knockout on his PlayStation 4. Battle Trivia Knockout from Happy Dance Games sees you "fight"...
Preview Just Cause 3 Blows Us Away on PS4

Review Toto Temple Deluxe (PS4)
Goat to catch ‘em all
Goats, eh? They get a bad press with their association with satanic rituals, being the head parts of man eating mythological Chimeras, and generally being the lesser loved when it comes to field sharing with the more cuddly and socially acceptable sheep. But thanks to Toto Temple Deluxe on the PlayStation 4 – building on...
Review Heroes of Loot (PS Vita)
Every little loot helps
In the mood for some mobile-friendly monster murdering, dungeon marauding, and treasure looting on a bit of a restricted budget? Welcome to your new best friend, Heroes of Loot – a kind of Poundland answer to Diablo-style dungeon crawls. This is a rather lovely, simple, and fun mix of the role-playing and roguelike...
On yer bike
Ah, the iconic BMX bike – made a cinematic icon in the '80s thanks to E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, BMX Bandits, and erm, well, let's just leave it there. Anyway, here's a game that loves the "art" of BMX riding and has been developed by actual "BMXers" – and having been a hit on mobile devices, it hops onto the PlayStation 4,...
Review Dynamite Fishing - World Games (PS4)
We’re going to need a bigger boat
Fish, eh? Sitting under the water, frustrating fishermen by only nibbling their bait once every few hours. Well, no more. A dedicated lowbrow crew of virtual fishers who include Redneck Joe and Wild Wendy are taking the fight back to the fish – with dynamite. And you're invited to throw caution - and large...
Pain is temporary
Life is tough when a wizard king has cursed you and certain death awaits unless you can find and mix the Elixir of Life itself.

This is the precarious predicament in which you find yourself in Tribute Games' Curses 'N Chaos –...
Review Commander Cherry's Puzzled Journey (PS4)
For posers
Prepare for the world's first – and potentially only – "Yoga Action Platformer", which uses the PlayStation 4's camera to capture shots of you, and then incorporates them into the game. If you're thinking that this all sounds daft, then you'd be right. Commander Cherry's Puzzled Journey is a hybrid motion control game that utilises...
Review Yu-Gi-Oh! Legacy of the Duelist (PS4)
It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-d-duel, again

War never changes – it just gets bigger
PlanetSide 2 is a Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) war game that plays out from a Battlefield or Killzone-like first-person perspective. It's so big, in fact, that the PC version holds the Guinness World Record for the 'biggest FPS battle' with 1,158 players logged into a single skirmish. In truth, very...
Review Magicka 2 (PlayStation 4)
It's a co-op kinda magic
Magicka 2, much like the PC hit Magicka before it, is a magic-'em-up which plays out in cartoony environments from a Diablo-esque isometric viewpoint. As the name suggests, it's all about magic(ka) and it packs a fun, surprisingly deep spell casting system that will see you conjuring up all manner of devastation. Making the...
