Review Blood of the Werewolf (PlayStation 3)
The wolf among us
Some people just don’t have any luck. As though transforming into a hairy, blood-thirsty bipedal wolf every month isn’t a tad inconvenient, then someone has to come and murder your husband, burn down your gothic home, and take your son. Thankfully, the only thing between you and him is a series of impractically designed...
Push Rewind Grand Theft Auto V PS4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4
The big one
If we’re honest, it’s been a pretty slow week for news – but the wealth of fresh releases has more than made up for things. We’ve been busy working our way through dozens of big titles for review this week, and while we’ve still got our final verdict on Grand Theft Auto V to come, we’re going to give ourselves a pat on the...
Weirdness What if You Could Play PSone Games on Your Watch?
Watch this
Back in the day, video game watches were all the rage. This author has a Double Dragon timepiece kicking about which includes a pretty terrible LCD replica of Taito’s beat-‘em-up – but things have gotten a little more sophisticated since then. With smart watches a current curiosity, it was only a matter of time before someone got an...
News Collect Your Own Precursor Orb from the Naughty Dog Shop
Daxter stupidest thing ever
Naughty Dog’s gotten so big over the past five or so years that it now has its own official online store. Partly designed to celebrate the studio’s 30th anniversary, the firm is selling off several collectible items, including The Last of Us-inspired clothing, art books – and Precursor Orbs. Yeah, you read that...

If there's one topic this reporter likes writing about, it's free downloadable content.

The latest addition to this...
News Assassin's Creed Could Yet Infiltrate the Kids Market
Animus for infants
Two new Assassin’s Creed games may not be enough for Ubisoft, as the French publisher is toying with the idea of an entry marketed at exclusively at kids.

Weirdness Ooh Matron! This PS4 Remote Play Ad Is All a Bit Saucy
Carry on playing
Don’t take your temperature after watching this bizarre Belgian commercial for the PlayStation 4 and Vita, as there may be some inaccuracies in the results that you record. It would appear that Sony hasn't forgotten about its portable platform in Europe – and is quite literally, ahem, bringing out the big guns to help sell the...

News PS4 Exclusive The Order: 1886 to Secure New Gameplay at PlayStation Experience
London's calling
Let’s be honest: Sony’s done a pretty terrible job promoting forthcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive The Order: 1886 so far. After an impressive unveiling, the company’s recycled a pretty bland demo, which has been doing the rounds at virtually every gaming convention under the sun for months now. Even developer
Store Preview Akiba's Trip PS4, Guilty Gear Demo, Geometry Wars 3
Round up, round up
And in the blink of an eye, that’s the last of the big new releases until The Crew next month. Don’t think that the PlayStation Store’s going to become a barren wasteland in the days leading up to Thanksgiving, though, as Sony is keeping it well supplied with a couple of smaller releases – like the PlayStation 4 version of...

Age of dragons
Well now, there are no shortage of new titles to talk about this weekend, are there?

Not every indie game is amazing, but we very much appreciate the existence of the space. While this week has proven that blockbuster titles are not going anywhere – Grand Theft Auto V! Far Cry 4!

News Killzone: Shadow Fall Fights for Free in Japan's December PlayStation Plus Update
Vekta-ory
PlayStation Plus’ selection of "free" software has been underfire for a little while now, with subscribers dissatisfied with the roster of indie games making up each month’s PlayStation 4 lineup. However, the platform holder has already stressed that this will change starting in December, with superhero brawler Injustice: Gods Among Us...

Box art
Talking about press kits in a post-Doritosgate era is perhaps a little awkward, but the work of Tim Smith deserves to be appreciated.

Hoax hack seemingly exposed

News PS4 Is the Best Place to Play This Holiday, States Sony's Latest Trailer
Stop us if you've heard this one before
There’s some decent alliteration in the phrase ‘the best place to play’, but we’re pretty sure that all three major console manufacturers use it. As such, it’s starting to lose its meaning a little bit – especially seeing as the reasons listed in this new PlayStation 4 trailer are a little loose...

Review Dragon Age: Inquisition (PlayStation 4)
Everybody expects the Inquisition
BioWare has had to endure a rocky road of late. Mass Effect 3 didn't sit well with everyone, and although there was a decent game at its core, Dragon Age II missed the mark almost entirely when it came to being a worthy successor to the great Dragon Age: Origins. As a result, a lot rests on Dragon Age: Inquisition's...

Knickering stuff
Japan hasn’t yet embraced the PlayStation 4 to the degree that we’d all like, but there are a stream of niche releases starting to make their way to the next-gen machine. Also due out on the PlayStation 3 next year, Nairo High School: Seishun Hakusho is a photography simulator, which will see you capturing daily life in the open...

Chaos awaits
Sony Santa Monica is a mini-publisher within SCEA, collaborating with external development teams such as Ready at Dawn and Honeyslug.

You gotta believe
Vib Ribbon’s recent release on the PlayStation Network has proven that new SCEA boss Shawn Layden has his heart in the right place.

News Grand Theft Auto V Has More, Er, Grass on PlayStation 4
Mow way
What happens when format face-offs get really specific? Digital Foundry starts comparing the density of grass in a game, that’s what. Grand Theft Auto V was thought to be largely identical on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but new evidence shows that Sony’s system has been drizzled with an extra drop of Miracle-Gro, as it’s capable of...

It’s taken what feels like an eternity, but Telltale Games has finally released the first trailer for its episodic Game of Thrones series.

Get rich quick
What good is life if you haven’t got a tennis court in your back garden and a fleet of sports cars stored in your garage? Money is what makes the world go around, and while it’s not exactly easy to earn stacks of it in real life, there are no pesky laws in Los Santos – well, none that you need to abide by anyway. While it’s...
Review Far Cry 4 (PlayStation 4)
Take a walk on the wild side
Far Cry 3 managed to blend a near perfect mix of open world and first-person shooter, taking players to the darker side of a Pacific paradise, where many of the inhabitants were the definition of insane. For its sequel, there’s a definite feeling that Ubisoft took the view 'if it’s not broken, don’t fix it', so Far...

Rockstar Games, you wily bunch. We thought that we knew everything that there was to know about Grand Theft Auto V on the PlayStation 4, but the developer couldn’t resist cramming in one last secret feature. Throughout the city of Los Santos, you’ll now encounter peyote plants, which cause the cast to hallucinate when...

The city of sinners
There’s nothing quite like coming home – or so they say.

Pictor right moment
While there are some negative connotations surrounding the word indie at the moment, teensy British studio Hello Games seems to have largely escaped criticism with the amazing looking No Man’s Sky.

News Fantasy MMO Wander Looks to Be the PS4's Most Relaxing Game
Combat-free zone
You wake up on an island, with no idea how you got there, or indeed who you are – this is the slightly predictable premise behind PlayStation 4 fantasy MMO Wander, which is planned to release in March next year. This Australian developed title's gameplay is anything but predictable, though, with a focus on discovery and...

News PS4 Passes One Million Sales Milestone in Germany
Pole position
It may well have been severely supply constrained at launch, but the PlayStation 4 has already passed the one million sales milestone in Germany, leaving its competitors in the dust. According to SCEE, the number was crossed on 21st October, putting its next-gen platform in “pole position”. Given the region, we reckon that the...

Review LittleBigPlanet 3 (PlayStation 4)
Dream weaver
Reviewing a LittleBigPlanet game at launch is a little like rating The Beatles’ entire catalogue based on everything up to Rubber Soul: the pieces are in place, but the real magic is yet to come. A community centric sequel such as this deserves time to properly mature, but expectations demand that we put pen to paper now. The question...

News Oops, GTA V Online Transfers Won't Work if You've Not Logged in Since 2013
Here we go again
Remember when AAA games released totally bug free? No, neither do we.

Specifically, the much-touted feature, which would even accept transfers from the Xbox 360...

Sony’s been heavily criticised this holiday for failing to match the exclusive output of its competitors.

News What New Songs Are in Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4?
Not a word from your lips
You can’t have a Grand Theft Auto game without a licensed soundtrack. While it’s the part of the package that often gets overlooked, it’s usually the icing on the cake as far as we’re concerned – after all, we daresay that Grand Theft Auto: Vice City got a few of the younger among you into eighties music in the...
Review Assassin's Creed Rogue (PlayStation 3)
A touch of frost
You’d be forgiven for branding Assassin’s Creed Rogue an afterthought, as its next-gen brother, Assassin’s Creed Unity, overshadowed its release. Although appearing as a cash-in for those still waiting to upgrade their PlayStation 3s, though, this is actually a solid instalment in Ubisoft’s historical franchise, bringing...
Round Up Grand Theft Auto V PS4 Reviews Extort Super High Scores
Franklin amazing
We already know that Grand Theft Auto V is amazing, so there was never any real danger of it deploying on the PlayStation 4 with poor review scores – unless, of course, it winded up being broken like every other major next-gen launch of late. Fortunately, that doesn’t appear to be the case, as critics are already pinning high...

Military mishap
Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops combines the best features and missions from its mobile counterparts, packaging the popular smartphone series’ first two titles together for PlayStation platforms.

It’s been ten years since this fresh faced editor first read about PlayStation 2’s supposed ‘Halo killer’ Killzone in one of the many gaming magazines around at the time.

Arya ready?
Telltale’s titles are not exactly renowned for their visual prowess, even though we’d argue that both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us have great art styles.

Advanced Warfare still on top
There’s a great game in Assassin’s Creed Unity, but it’s obfuscated by bad bugs and glitches.
