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.

News Final Fantasy XV Director Says PS4 Is a Mountain to Climb
Super system causing concerns
Tetsuya Nomura has been working on Final Fantasy XV for an eternity. The high-ranking Square Enix employee started production on the sequel on the PlayStation 3, where it was known as Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

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. It's promising, then, that the developer seems determined to improve on its relatively solid product by adding in some heavily...
News Do You Want a PS4? Amazon UK Has Knack Packs In Stock
Bundles back on digital store shelves

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.

News New PS4 Stock Sneaks into Best Buy in North America
Consoles creeping into GameStop and Target, too

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.

She's a survivor
This launch trailer for imminent PlayStation 4 re-release Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition would have been better with a subtle blast of Destiny’s Child, but we won’t hold that against it.

News Uncharted PS4 May Not Fire onto Your New System This Year
Drake expectations
Some of our predictions for the PlayStation 4 in 2014 may have been a little bit offbeat, but one common theme throughout our article revolved around the very real possibility of Uncharted PS4 releasing later this year for Sony’s new super machine.

Review Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z (PlayStation Vita)
It's under 9000
Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z is a strange beast. It sports some gorgeous looking locations, catchy tunes, and Akira Toriyama's fantastic art style, but those who were expecting a somewhat traditional fighting game in the same vein as the Budokai series or even the Tenkaichi series will be left rather surprised with this team-based...

Furthermore, while the install base is admittedly low, the attach rate is...
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.

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,...

Cool boarder
Once at the apex of industry excitement, the extreme sports genre’s popularity has faded faster than the artwork on an abused skateboard.
