It seems a bit strange to be selecting the best annual software for a system that's only been available for around a month, but consistency means that our Game of the Year countdown demands a PlayStation 4 category. This time last year the platform was little more than a pipedream, but the hot new hardware has bullied the...

News You Might Be Hearing About The Last Guardian Sooner Than You Think
The Late Guardian
The Last Guardian may just be the most excruciating case of vapourware in recorded history.

Pocket rockets

Tiny brains, big character
Science: it’s a wonderful thing. Without science, we’d still be muddling through the dark ages, in a world without Facebook and instant soup.

Review Terraria (PlayStation Vita)
Landheld gaming
Back when Terraria launched on the PlayStation 3, we praised its diverse collection of content and its overall depth, but felt that the title's awkward user interface and time consuming gameplay held it back from greatness in our review.
