  • Review Resident Evil 6 (PS4)

    Knocked for six

    How did this happen? No, really – how did this happen? Resident Evil 6, the most recent numbered entry in Capcom's iconic survival horror series, is an unmitigated mess – a real turd of a game that's so downright bad that it beggars belief. You'd think that with the series celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the publisher...

  • News Uncharted 4 Has One of Naughty Dog's Best Openings, Says Dev

    Attention grabber

    The Last of Us has arguably the greatest opening sequence of any game – but Uncharted 4: A Thief's End may better it.

  • News People Are Going Daft Over Dark Souls III Clothing

    Dangerous expectations

    In this industry, there are times when you have to sit back and correctly manage your expectations. As a general rule, we find that keeping our expectations low is usually the best course of action - just look at Sony's E3 2015 press conference. We were convinced that we'd be bombarded with third-party trailers and PlayStation...

  • News The Battleborn Open Beta Is Up and Running on PS4

    Lock and load

    You can download and jump into the open beta for Battleborn right now on PlayStation 4 - just in time for the weekend. Weighing in at 8.2GB, it's not a particularly small package, but you'll probably want to get downloading it soon so that you can hop on for a night of gun-toting lunacy. The colourful co-op and competitive shooter...

  • Poll Are You Happy with the PS4's Current Firmware?

    Or does it need a bit of tweaking?

    For what it's worth, we reckon that the PlayStation 4 is in a decent position right now. Recently released firmware update v3.50 brought some nice functionality to Sony's home console, including the ability to appear offline, optional friend notifications, and remote play support for PC and Mac. Regardless of how...

  • News There's Another Final Fantasy XV Livestream Next Week

    There's no stopping this train

    Thanks to Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV, it feels like we've been subjected to a decade's worth of information with regards to Final Fantasy XV, and in a way, we suppose that's an accurate description. Indeed, after such a long wait, we now know more about Noctis and the gang than ever before, but the hype train isn't...

  • News Are There Any Secret Features in PS4 Firmware Update 3.50?

    Yes, of course

  • Guide SMITE PS4 Hints and Tips for Beginner Gods

    SMITE up your life

    MOBAs (Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas) have had a massive impact on the PC gaming landscape as they collectively rode the growing wave of game streaming to become one of the industry's biggest genres. It's strange, then, that this multiplayer juggernaut has largely bypassed PlayStation consoles and it's only with the recent...

  • Review R.B.I. Baseball 16 (PS4)

    We'll let this slide

    R.B.I. Baseball 16 is a game of pure baseball simulation, opposed to MLB: The Show's more gleaming, polished take on the sport. While its Sony-backed competitor is innovating, R.B.I. is content with treading water and refining its gameplay – which is by no means a bad thing, considering how easy it is to pick up and play this...

  • News Thor-ly Not! Sources Say God of War IV Leak Is Legit

    Over the rainbow bridge we go

  • News Naughty Dog's Ditching Doughnut Drake in Uncharted 4

    "We've matured beyond that"

    One of the recurring features throughout the Uncharted series has been the inclusion of Doughnut Drake – a tubby interpretation of the iconic action hero unlockable in multiplayer and after completing the main campaign. The developer's opted against including the alternate character in Uncharted 4: A Thief's End,...

  • Feature 5 Reasons Uncharted 4 on PS4 Will Live Up to the Hype

    You Won't Believe Number 4

    Naughty Dog, as lead designer Ricky Cambier illustrated in our interview earlier this week, is nervous. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is finished, but the developer doesn't know how people are going to respond to the game. That's because the studio prefers to push forward rather than stand still, and it's already admitted...

Dynasty Warriors poster boy...
