Review Crimsonland (PlayStation 4)
Don't fear the reaper
Twin-stick shooters are like Hollywood action films. They’re violent, bold, and, while there’s plenty going around, very few are actually any good. Crimsonland is the latest entry in the once popular genre, and does very little to differentiate itself from the competition. But does this adherence to tried and tested tropes...

News Sony's Considering a Steam-Style Early Access Program, Says Adam Boyes
Let the games begin
It seems that Steam's famous Summer Sales may not be the only thing Sony's thinking about borrowing from the digital download service.

News Don't Panic, Sony Hasn't Forgotten About Its VR Headset Project Morpheus
The device has seen "significant investment"
Apart from a few demos behind closed doors, Sony's virtual reality headset Project Morpheus was notably absent from the Japanese giant's E3 presence this year.

Whelp
Many of us play video games, but very few of us can fully appreciate just how harsh the business surrounding our hobby can be.

"We...
News Celebrate American Independence the Right Way with This Wacky Resogun Update
Forget Battlefield

As you can see in the video below, the update morphs the...
News Shuhei Yoshida Doesn't Understand People Who Don't Like Indie Games
Neither do we
If the last two E3s are anything to go by, Sony's continued efforts to court indie developers are paying off.

"Almost every week you see an indie game coming out digitally on PS4. Some of...

News Sony Spends More on US TV Ads for the PS4 Than Microsoft Does for the Xbox One
Apparently it's working

News Here's Every Trophy You'll Be Able to Earn in Upcoming PS4 Shooter Destiny
Spoilers, probably
We all play games for different reasons. Some of us like to get lost in grand and intricate stories, while others are much more interested in rock-solid gameplay.

Luckily for us, the Japanese giant has recently...
Review Valiant Hearts: The Great War (PlayStation 4)
Dog day afternoon
There are hundreds upon hundreds of games about war. Yet despite the subject matter’s ubiquity, there is a distinct lack of variety in the way it’s handled: you shoot people, you sneak behind people so you can stab them in the back, or you slaughter countless people with the press of a single button. These gleeful and...

It's incredible, apparently
Sony's virtual reality headset Project Morpheus may be a nifty piece of tech, but its value is incredibly hard to demonstrate.

News The PS4 Dev Team Were 'Dancing in The Aisles' After The Xbox One's Price Reveal
So were we
A lot has been said about the performance of the two major players at last year's E3.

News This Patch for Borderlands 2 on Vita Will Help Fix The Shooter's Shonky Controls
Controlled chaos
The Borderlands 2 port on PlayStation Vita has been about as divisive as our internal E3 game of the show votes.
