Evolution improving server stability
It's such a shame that DriveClub stalled at launch, because we actually think that its post-release support has transformed it into one of the best games on the PlayStation 4.

Review Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea (PlayStation 3)
Back to basics
This author has been lucky enough to see the Atelier franchise slowly evolve over the past five years. With each PlayStation 3 title, new mechanics have been introduced, scrapping those that didn't previously work and improving on those that did. Atelier Shallie: Alchemists of the Dusk Sea is the biggest improvement yet, though, as it...
Review The Awakened Fate Ultimatum (PlayStation 3)
Fateful random encounters
The conflict between Heaven and Hell is a theme often explored in video games. Is Heaven really made up of pure righteousness, and conversely is Hell really founded solely on black malefic intent?

Rumour PS4 Firmware Update 2.50 Could Change the Game for People with Disabilities
About time
Sometimes, when you're fit and healthy, it's easy to forget just how difficult life can be for others. We take things for granted every day, and for this author, that includes playing video games.

Drake's misfortune
Wow, this is big. Originally expected later this year, Naughty Dog has announced that Uncharted 4: A Thief's End will deploy in Spring 2016, meaning that the next chapter in Nathan Drake's escapade is still over a year away.

Review White Night (PlayStation 4)
Good night and good luck
White Night, the debut title from OSome Studio, is a bit of an oddball. A monochromatic neo-noir horror adventure, the game is certainly more than capable of standing out from the crowd.

Something something Japan
Maybe it's the writing, maybe it's the voice acting, we don't know - but we bet a lot of people who watch Onechanbara Z2: Chaos' Western announcement trailer will think that it looks a bit cheap.
