Review Syberia (PlayStation 3)
Clickbait
Originally released in 2002, Syberia is one of the most fondly remembered examples of the point and click adventure game genre. With a clever story, and equally ingenious puzzles, it remains as relevant today as the day that it was released. But while the title itself makes a strong case for the revival of this antiquated style of...
News Bloodborne's New Randomly Generated Dungeons Look Ridiculously Difficult
A roguish roguelike
As promised earlier in the week, we've been treated to a slew of shiny screenshots of upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Bloodborne, and boy howdy does it look good. These particular snaps show off the Chalice Dungeon, a horrifying new feature which has been created specifically for the chronically masochistic. Put simply,
News Disgaea 5 Takes a Tense Tactical Turn Exclusively on Western PS4s in 2015
Grid-based grief
Tactical Japanese RPG Disgaea 5 – which, confusingly, is actually the sixth game in the franchise – was announced at Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference earlier in the year. However, as it was a Japanese event, only an Eastern release date was announced, leaving the usual black cloud over the possibility of a Western launch...
News Ubisoft Sticks a Hidden Blade in the Latest Assassin's Creed Unity Patch
Deadly delay
If you've not been paying attention, Assassin's Creed Unity's launch last month was as messy and convoluted as the franchise's storied timeline. Performance issues plagued the title, while
News You'll Be Hearing More About PS4 Exclusive Bloodborne's New Enemies Soon
Christmas comes early
Christmas may be the most wonderful time of the year, but it also happens to be one of the slowest when it comes to video game news. All of the major events have already happened, and all of the major games have already released, which leaves us in the unenviable and peculiar position of not always having material to cover...
News Sony's Not Too Happy About All the 20th Anniversary Edition PS4s on eBay
"That's not what we want to see happen"
Let's be frank: the 20th Anniversary Edition PS4 is probably one of the most attractive consoles of all time. However, in a slightly controversial move, Sony sold a swathe of the sleek systems for a scant £19.94 at a secret London location. Predictably, a number of enterprising fans have now listed their grey...
Rumour Will Borderlands: Remastered Edition Look for Loads of Loot on PS4?
Ready for round two?
"We're sick of new titles on the PlayStation 4!" the passionate gaming masses shout as they march through the village square. "We want more last-gen re-releases!" Luckily for this ill-conceived cliché, the Australian ratings board may have just
News PS4 Zombie Sim Dying Light Will Raise the Dead in 1080p at 30FPS
Silky smooth undead sparring
Dying Light, the open world zombie sim coming to the PlayStation 4 next year, will be rendered in 1080p and will run at 30 frames-per-second, developer Techland has recently announced. “1080p and 30FPS is what we have right now, it is what is constant, and what we’re sure that we can deliver in the final product, but...
News These Multiplayer DLC Executions for The Last of Us Are Skipping the PS3
Memory madness
The Last of Us is getting some downloadable extras for its underrated multiplayer mode, including new weapons, skills, items, outfits, gestures, and special executions. In truth, this isn't terribly interesting news, but there is one slight quirk: a selection of the extras won't be making it to the PlayStation 3 version of the game...
Review Teslagrad (PlayStation 4)
Fatal attraction
Teslagrad’s opening scene is bold, beautiful, and utterly beguiling, cleverly drawing you into its world, without wasting a single second on needless exposition. Unfortunately – while certainly a lot of fun – the rest of the game fails to live up to the lofty precedent set by this prologue. It’s a shame, as hidden just below...
Rumour Did Hideo Kojima Just Announce the Release Date for Metal Gear Solid V?
Kept us waiting
Reporting on rumours surrounding Hideo Kojima's games is risky business. On the one hand, the talented provocateur is infamous for his sneaky teases, but on the other, the leaks are usually completely outlandish. For example, you may recall that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain was originally announced as the project of a...
News Wattam Is the Bizarre New Game from the Creator of Katamari Damacy
"Wattam I even looking at?"
Sony's keynote at the PlayStation Experience was packed with brand new announcements, but Wattam was easily the most bizarre. Developed by Keita Takahashi – the man behind the Katamari Damacy series – this bonkers title is seemingly about, er, a green cube who has very particular taste in hats. Also, he sometimes...
News Resident Evil: Revelations 2 Will Scare You Silly on PlayStation Vita
Transportable terror
The next time you're trying to convince your friends to buy a PlayStation Vita, and they simply refuse to be swayed by Freedom Wars, perhaps point them in the direction of Resident: Revelations 2.

News Yep, PS4 Is the Only Console Street Fighter V Will Ever Appear On
First gameplay trailer revealed
You could see the disappointment in Adam Boyes' eyes when he took to the stage to announce the already leaked Street Fighter V reveal at the PlayStation Experience keynote today. However, any bad blood was immediately forgotten when he later confirmed that the PlayStation 4 "will be the only console that this game...
News Huzzah! Sony Has Finally Revealed Some Proper Custom PS4 Faceplates
PlayStation phwoar
Aside from the recently announced 20th Anniversary Edition PlayStation 4, Sony's new-gen super machine really hasn't had too many attractive options when it comes to customisation. Thankfully, the Japanese giant revealed a new set of faceplates after the PlayStation Experience keynote today. The plastic personalised plates...
News The Order: 1886's Latest Trailers Prove That It's Definitely a Third-Person Shooter
The standard stuff
The Order: 1886 had a fairly meaty presence at the PlayStation Experience keynote today, with the title's creative director Ru Weerasuriya showing off two new trailers. The first features a fairly standard dogfight in the kitchen of a steampunk airship, and the second gives us a look at how the game's melee combat will work...

News Dying Light's New Story Trailer Is Brash, Brooding, and Beautiful
Heart of darkness
If the trailer Techland revealed for Dying Light at The Game Awards today teaches us anything, it's that the game is attempting to tell a much more mature story. Indeed, the clip begins with a hifalutin quote from famed philosopher and playwright Albert Camus, who would undoubtedly turn in his grave if he knew that his work was bei

News Don't Panic, The Elder Scrolls Online's PS4 Port Definitely Still Exists
Scout's honour
Remember The Elder Scrolls Online's PlayStation 4 port? Yeah, neither did we, until we spotted this recent Bethesda blog post which briefly discusses the subject. Apparently, the title is coming along nicely, but will still need some more time in order to be properly polished. "We have been (and will continue to be) steadily working...
