News Do You Want a PS4? Amazon UK Has Knack Packs In Stock
Bundles back on digital store shelves
It may have been the worst reviewed PlayStation 4 exclusive at launch, but Knack has actually been something of a success – perhaps partly due to it being sold alongside the sought after next generation system since launch. And in an effort to keep the divisive debut above the critically acclaimed Super Mario...
News Sony Planning 'Spectacular' E3 2014 Lineup for PlayStation 4
Massive year ahead
It’s been a couple of months since the PlayStation 4 officially launched, but Sony has still managed to keep the majority of its upcoming exclusive content under wraps.

Super system causing concerns
Tetsuya Nomura has been working on Final Fantasy XV for an eternity.

News Warframe Finally Loots Trophy Support and Custom Controls on PS4
War always changes
Back in our review of Digital Extremes' PlayStation 4 free-to-play shooter, we declared that Warframe was a decent game, but it needed some work before we could consider it to be truly compelling.

Hardware Review Turtle Beach Ear Force PX4 - Perfect Sound for PS4
With a few headaches along the way
Audio is arguably the most underrated element of gaming.

Fortunately, there are signs that the sought after system is starting to filter...
Review Adam's Venture Chronicles (PlayStation 3)
Can you Adam and Eve it?
If there’s one thing that’s missing from Uncharted, it’s puzzles that test your knowledge of the Bible. We’ve all thought it at some point: Nathan Drake just doesn’t believe in God enough. Don’t worry too much, though, as the folks behind Adam’s Venture Chronicles have spotted a gap in the market, and there are...
News Slimmest Ever PlayStation to Be Unveiled in the UK Next Week
Weight watchers
It’s customary to cut down on cakes and custard creams in January, but it sounds like Sony’s endured an almighty detox over the past three or so weeks. The platform holder has invited select members of the UK press to a briefing next Thursday, which hints at some form of hardware reveal. We’re assuming that our invite’s been...
News The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Spins a Yarn on PS4, PS3 This Spring
Swing time
No console is complete without a release starring Marvel’s greatest web-head, and fortunately the PlayStation 4 is set to get its first this Spring with The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

News Samurai Warriors 4's Second Japanese Trailer Marches New Characters into View
Hack and dash
With over 50 characters set to make up its stylish-looking roster, it's safe to say that Tecmo Koei's somewhat secondary hack and slash series is catching up on Dynasty Warriors' gigantic line up of personalities.

Review Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (PlayStation Vita)
It's under 9000
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is a strange beast.

News Capcom's Strider Reboot Will Cut Your PS4 to Pieces Next Month
Just a scratch
The immediate PlayStation 4 release schedule may look slimmer than the sharp end of Strider Hiryu’s sword, but that may be because developers are keeping their wares under wraps a lot longer these days. Take the upcoming Strider reboot in production at Silent Hill Homecoming developer Double Helix Games, which is set to take a...

Review Mahjong World Contest (PlayStation Vita)
Top tiles
Mahjong World Contest is a mahjong solitaire variant with two twists: there’s a three star rating based on objectives, and clearing the board isn’t necessarily your overall goal. These tweaks augment a degree of tactical thinking to a rule set that arguably lacks the original Chinese game’s strategy – and it’s better for it,...

Watching full episodes of EastEnders via the Game Gear’s chunky television adapter was a real technological breakthrough back in the early 90s, but it’s not so impressive anymore.
