Round Up Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare PS4 Reviews Look to the Future
Cloud Atlas
Compared to the months of pre-release hype that Destiny received, we can’t help but feel that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is somewhat sneaking onto store shelves. The biggest gaming brand on the planet has taken a slight stumble in recent years, with the disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts compounding a decline in annual sales...

When all else fails
At this point, it’s clear that there’s a problem with PlayStation 4 firmware update v2.00 that’s affecting a growing number of people.

News What's the Best Price for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare PS4 in the UK?
Spacey age
And so the silly season begins in earnest. There have been a number of high-profile releases over the past couple of months, but November’s impending software tidal wave is truly something to behold. With the likes of Assassin’s Creed Unity and Grand Theft Auto V on the way, we suspect that a fair few of you will be counting your...

News There Are Almost Eight Million PlayStation Plus Subscribers Globally
Level up
PlayStation Plus is a funny service. Largely unprecedented as a value proposition, it’s hard to shake the feeling that some of the premium membership’s more outrageous offerings have come back to bite it in the bottom. While the platform holder has been giving away critically acclaimed PlayStation 4 games like Velocity 2X and Dust: An...

Feature How Has the PS4 Fared in Its First Year?
Report card
It's been a funny first year for the PlayStation 4. Sony's next-gen format has smashed sales records all over the globe, but the positivity that punctuated the platform's launch has been replaced by an air of unrest over the past few weeks. The question is: has the system's success paved the way for the fickle to pick fault, or is the...
News Sony Temporarily Slashes the PS4's Price in the UK
Just in time for Call of Duty
While many have been eager to suggest that Sony won’t compete with the Xbox One’s temporary price drop in the United States, we noted in a recent feature that it’s been frequently adjusting the cost of the PlayStation 4 in the UK to keep its nose in front. Indeed, while the system hasn’t ever received any...
Review Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (PlayStation 3)
You don’t know Jack
The first two Borderlands games brought loot to first person shooters in a huge way, and in the process, proved to be massive hits with gamers. Now, with the arrival of Borderlands: The Pre Sequel, original developer Gearbox Software have taken a backseat, allowing 2K Australia to fire up the gun generator for another outing,...
Weirdness What if Publishers Were Forced to Use ClipArt for Game Covers?
It'd truly be a wonderful world
If you’re anything like this editor, you’ll have fond memories of ClipArt. Decorating school reports with dodgy pictures was a real highlight of this writer’s formative years, and we suspect that it was the same for many of you. Still, now that we’re older and wiser, the Microsoft Office accessory has kind of...
News Evolve's Alpha Devolves on PS4 Due to Firmware Update 2.00 Issues
Postponed for now
Forget about the great big monsters in Turtle Rock’s forthcoming asymmetrical shooter Evolve, as it seems that Sony may have released a nasty of its own in PlayStation 4 firmware update v2.00. While specific details are vague, the developer has supposedly delayed the game’s big alpha test on the Japanese giant’s machine,...
Review Costume Quest 2 (PlayStation 4)
Trick or treat?
Costume Quest 2 is the latest game from lauded developer Double Fine, and is actually the firm’s first full-blown sequel to boot. The title depicts the continuing adventures of twins Reynold and Wren, as they combat a time travelling delinquent dentist determined to destroy Hallowe’en and its teeth-decaying deeds. Much like the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 44
Day disbeliever
Surely, surely it’s not WAYP time already? The clock on this writer’s PC toolbar says that it’s Saturday, but these articles come around so quickly that we’re struggling to believe it. That said, there’s Premier League on the television and we did spot James Martin on BBC One this morning, so we’re pretty confident that...

Grind and punishment
Easily one of the PlayStation Vita's most anticipated titles, Freedom Wars plops you into a dystopian future that's full of typically stylish teens and giant mechanical beasts, and tasks you with whittling down a one million year sentence of service to your not-so-lovely community. For many owners of Sony's portable console, a...
News You Can Download Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare on PS4 Now
Digital future
Sony has been allowing you to pre-load digital purchases from the PlayStation Store for a little while now, but we suppose that very few games are bigger than Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare. As such, the platform holder has taken to the PlayStation Blog to confirm that you can start downloading Activision’s forthcoming first-person...
News Sony's Still Bleeding Money, But PS4's in Beast Mode
Marathon sprint
The reason behind Microsoft’s temporary Xbox One price drop is looking clearer by the minute: Sony has now shipped 13.5 million PlayStation 4 consoles worldwide – and it hasn’t even been out a year yet. The company added 3.3 million units to the system’s total tally in the quarter spanning July to September, boosting game...

News Slick PS4 Shooter Resogun Will Save the Last Humans on Vita
System seller
Housemarque’s throwback arcade shooter Resogun is so good that we’d quite like to have a playable version augmented into our eyelids, but seeing as that’s not physically possible, we’ll settle for a PlayStation Vita version instead. Fortunately, it sounds like the Finnish indie is working on just that, assuming that comments...

Review Lords of the Fallen (PlayStation 4)
Harkyn and soul
With the spawn of the Souls series, gamers around the world have developed a soft spot for controller breaking games with horrendously difficult barriers of entry. Lords of the Fallen is Polish studio CI Games' first attempt at imitating the franchise's success – but does it stand up to its competitors? While the Souls series...
News Wait, Did Sony Just Accidentally Reveal the Uncharted Collection for PS4?
Not-so hidden relic
At this point, it’s probably fairly safe to assume that there will be an Uncharted Collection on the PlayStation 4. Sony has said that it doesn’t want to flood the market with re-releases, but does want to provide people that didn’t own a PlayStation 3 with an opportunity to play some of the previous generation’s best...
News Do You Want to Play The Crew on PS4 Prior to Launch?

News PS4's Free DriveClub: PS Plus Edition Has Been Put 'On Hold'
Back in the garage you go
DriveClub’s disastrous launch is still ongoing. Despite the game showing signs of improvement a week or so ago, we were a bit optimistic expecting the PlayStation 4 exclusive racer’s free PlayStation Plus trial to release this month. Indeed, the retail version appears to have hit a brick wall of late – even Evolution...
News People Are Already Playing Assassin's Creed Unity on PS4
Sacré bleu
Typically, when retailers break street dates, games are put on sale a day or two before their real release. However, in the case of Assassin’s Creed Unity, retail copies for the PlayStation 4 are in the wild right now – a good two weeks ahead of the title’s actual launch date. With the game originally due out at the end of October,...
Review Lone Survivor: The Director's Cut (PlayStation 4)
No longer alone
Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut is the latest indie title to make the jump from the PlayStation 3 to the PlayStation 4, and with great seasonal timing to boot. The question is: is the game’s special brand of horror still capable of sending shivers down your spice on Sony’s next-gen machine? In short, of course it is. The...
News Oh Dear, Assassin's Creed Unity Is Going to Mess with Time Travel
It was inevitable
Just when you thought that Assassin's Creed's overarching narrative couldn't possibly get any more convoluted, it looks like Assassin's Creed Unity is going to dabble in a bit of time travel. Sigh. We'll admit that the concept does seem quite cool — at least in trailer form — but it just seems like something that the franchise...
News Have No Fear, The Order: 1886's Gameplay Demo Is 'Ancient'
Wipe away that dust
It may have been somewhat obvious, but that gameplay demo of The Order: 1886 that we see pop up every time Sony wants to show off the game is "ancient", according to Ready at Dawn CTO Andrea Pessino. Kindly translated by DualShockers.com, a tweet from the aforementioned developer states that "it’s an “ancient” build...

Chop shop?
There's been a lot of noise made about Destiny's DLC locations, some of which can be accessed through glitching in the base game.

News Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires Marches an Army onto PS4 and PS3 Sooner Than You Think
Tactical
It's getting to the point where we can't blame people for saying that there are too many Warriors titles flooding the market. 2014 itself has had an abundance of the things, and now, just when things appeared to be quiet after the release of the superb Samurai Warriors 4, publisher Koei Tecmo has gone ahead and announced that tactically...

News Are There Any Secret Features in PS4 Firmware Update 2.00?
Yes, there are
Sony doesn’t tend to understand the concept of patch notes. While it will always detail the major changes included as part of a numbered firmware update, it frequently throws in hidden extras. This has been the case since the early days of the PlayStation 3, and just because it’s got a fancy new piece of hardware on the market, it...

This will go down well
Those of you that wretch at the prospect of games made by teams that number in the tens rather than the thousands may want to divert your attention, as November’s big PlayStation Plus update is something of an indie extravaganza.

A code of honour
For quite a while now, fans of Assassin's Creed have been pondering a title set in the East.

Speaking to Total Xbox, Assassin's Creed III creative director Alex Hutchinson remarked that a feudal...

Unless you coughed up £34.99/$34.99 for Destiny's season pass, or nabbed it in the collector's edition, you'll need to put down £19.99/$19.99 for the sci-fi shooter's first expansion, The Dark Below.

News Final Fantasy Type-0 HD's New PS4 Trailer Hopes to Get You in a Melodramatic Mood
Kids these days
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD isn't your typical Final Fantasy title, but its newest cinematic trailer will probably remind you that it is indeed part of Square Enix's moody franchise.

Review Pix the Cat (PlayStation 4)
Feline fine
At first glance, Pix the Cat appears to be a relatively simple arcade experience.

Talking Point How Does Sony Solve a Problem Like Xbox One Price Cuts?
Pricing predicament
Microsoft resembles a certain other green giant right now: you wouldn’t like it when it’s angry.

It’s not immensely surprising...

Crouching tiger, hidden Wang
Take those old kung-fu movies that get repeated endlessly on daytime cable channels, add a dash of retro shooter and whatever random bits of supernatural plot you have lying around, and that’s Shadow Warrior.
