Mafia III - 6/10
It was a risky gamble to tackle such an incendiary era of US history, but Mafia III handles it much better than an open world crime game has any right to. It masterfully hits the target in terms of its characters, story, and setting, lulling you into a misplaced belief you're playing something really special. Unfortunately, once the grind of taking over territory kicks in, and the lack of originality in much of its mission design is laid bare, it almost completely ruins the experience. It's fortunate then, that the excellent gunplay, the occasional enjoyable story mission, and the spot-on presentation provides just enough of an incentive to see things through to its bloody conclusion.
Dragon Quest Builders - 8/10
Dragon Quest Builders gives the genre's heavy hitters a run for their money with its charm, character, and accessibility. A streamlined crafting experience that's always happy to provide you with purpose, it offers a delightful adventure that's packed with discovery. Even though a couple of wonky design choices prevent proceedings from being totally watertight, this is still one of the most downright addictive titles available on the PS4.

Opinion: Which PlayStation VR Launch Games Should You Buy?
PlayStation VR has a gigantic launch lineup, and you're probably wondering which titles to buy right about now. While we still haven't sampled everything – the selection really is that big – we have played a pretty large selection, so we feel like we're pretty well placed to point you in the right direction. But which titles have caught our eye?
Poll: What Are Your Thoughts on PlayStation VR So Far?
Another Friday afternoon, another quick and easy poll for us to sticky on the front page. Nah, we're just kidding - we're actually interested in hearing what you lot think about PlayStation VR. Unless you've been avoiding us for the last two weeks or so (why the heck would you do that?) then you'll already know that we've been pumping out VR content like it's the only thing in the PlayStation Nation worth talking about right now. And to be honest, it kind of is - just look at how slow the news has been elsewhere.

Rockstar Teases Something Red Dead Redemption, Internet Goes Nuts

Rise of the Tomb Raider's Retro Press Kit Is the Best You'll Ever See
Sony always makes the best press kits – but it may have been beaten by Square Enix here. In order to celebrate the launch of Rise of the Tomb Raider on the PlayStation 4, the publisher's really playing up the property's origins – and it's been sending press copies of the game in a classic PSone case. It just feels right, doesn't it?
