    Puyo Puyo Tetris in 18th place

    Creepy platformer Little Nightmares has managed a dream debut in the UK sales charts, entering in fourth position on the British best sellers list – despite the rundown only including retail sales.

    Mega, man

    Following on from the success of the Mega Man Legacy Collection on the PlayStation 4, the Korean Ratings Board has outed Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 for Sony's new-gen system. According to the description of the title, the compilation will pick up where its predecessor left off, featuring Mega Man 7, Mega Man 8, Mega Man 9, and Mega Man...

  • Review Syberia 3 (PS4)

    Sy-bore-ia

    You wouldn't be ignorant if you haven't heard of Syberia 3. It's a point-and-click adventure game developed by French studio Microïds, and it's part of a cult franchise known for its pre-rendered backdrops, distinct mechanical puzzles, and eccentric characters and settings. Syberia 2 was released a mere two years after the original,...

  • Feature The Promising PS4 Games of May 2017

    Maybe, maybe not

    Hmmmm. On paper, May doesn't look like an especially amazing month, but with the way 2017 is going so far, we wouldn't be surprised to see it offer up a few surprise hits. As always, we're here to let you know what we think are the most promising PlayStation 4 titles of next month, so let's dive straight in, shall we? PREY:...

  • Poll Are You Happy with May 2017's PlayStation Plus Games?

    Is it really such a strong month?

    With news having slowed to a crawl as the industry preps itself ahead of E3 this summer, it's only fitting that we end the week with a quick and easy poll. It's been a while since we polled you lot on the quality of PlayStation Plus and its 'free' games, but we reckon May's selection is actually one of the more...

  • Review Aaero (PS4)

    On the right light track

    Rhythm is your weapon in Aaero, a new high-speed fusion of music, light track running, and weapon combat that blazes across the PlayStation 4 in an attempt to reignite the music game genre. Created by independent two-man studio Mad Fellows, Aaero synthesises frantic sci-fi shooting action with solid rhythm game dynamics,...

  • News Capcom Is Currently Working on a 'Major' Unannounced Game

    Due out this fiscal year

    Oh Capcom, you tease. Buried in the company's latest business overview document, the publisher mentions a "major title" that it plans on releasing before the end of this fiscal year - that's before the 31st March 2018, in case you're not one for technical terms. Now, this could be absolutely anything, but the wording at...

  • News Dragon Quest XI Snags a Right Royal PS4 Bundle

    Launching alongside game in Japan

    Despite its presence on the Nintendo 3DS as well, Dragon Quest XI is likely to be a gigantic seller for Sony when it releases this summer on the PlayStation 4. It's no surprise to see the publisher pairing up with Square Enix to create a crazy new hardware bundle in time for the role-playing title's 29th July...

  • Poll Should Sony Make a PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Sequel?

    And what kind of game should it be?

    Thanks to some flaky fakes, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is back in the headlines. There's no sign that Sony's going to revive the mascot mash-up on the PlayStation 4, but the renewed interest invites an interesting question: should it? And if your answer to that is a resounding yes, then what direction...

  • News PS4 Shipments Pass 60 Million as PlayStation Nears Record Profit

    Forecasts predict PS4 install base will reach 78 million next year

    Sony managed to ship an outrageous 20 million PlayStation 4 consoles between 1st April 2016 and 31st March 2017, putting total shipments of the console up to 60 million units worldwide. As of 1st January the device had sold 53.4 million units directly to consumers, so it's probably...

  • News Injustice 2's Joker Is a Hobo with a Happy Face

    Why so serious?

    While there are some questionable character designs in Injustice 2, we must admit we quite like the title's take on sinister supervillain The Joker. With overgrown green locks and a purple trench coat, the character maintains elements of his comic book counterpart, but is unlike any version of the baddie that we've seen before. He...

  • News LocoRoco Remastered Goes Full-Tilt on 9th May

    About a blob

    There was a period during the PlayStation Portable era where Japan Studio was pumping out some brilliant handheld titles, but they never really got the traction that they deserved. LocoRoco was one such game, a punctual little platformer that looked lovely and played great. And now, in case you missed the memo, it's set to make a...

  • News Dynasty Warriors 9 Finally Being Detailed Next Month

    Begin the march

    It feels like we've been waiting an age, but we'll finally be getting some details on Dynasty Warriors 9 next month. Producer Akihiro Suzuki apologised for the long wait in a tweet, before confirming that more will be revealed in May. You can probably expect a trailer followed by a steady flow of Famitsu articles. All we know about...

  • News This Isn't Your First Look at a PlayStation All-Stars Sequel

    Rubbish

    Whether or not PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was a good game is up for debate, but should there ever be a successor, it would be fascinating to see what direction Sony took. There's been a bizarre amount of chatter about the series online of late, with a sequel supposedly leaking on 4Chan (hint: it was fake) and now artwork arriving on...

  • News Final Fantasy XV Patch 1.09 Out Now on PS4

    April update adds a lot of stuff

    Final Fantasy XV's latest update is available to download now on PlayStation 4. Patch 1.09 weighs in at a rather hefty 4.7GB, and primarily includes a load of new timed quests for Noct and the gang to undertake. Complete them, and you'll earn quest points that you can spend on various items and equipment. Quite a...

  • Review Puyo Puyo Tetris (PS4)

    Top of the pops

    In a year that's continuously exceeded expectations, you weren't going to bet against Puyo Puyo Tetris being anything less than outstanding, were you? SEGA's gaudy puzzle-'em-up is a real joy, blending the breakneck brick building of Tetris with the more methodical splotch popping of the less-popular Puyo Puyo – sometimes on the...

  • News Holy Crap, Bandai Namco Is Bringing Gundam Versus West on PS4

    About time

    Whoa, this came out of nowhere. We were casually browsing YouTube when we stumbled across a brand new video from Bandai Namco - namely a Western announcement trailer for Gundam Versus, which is due out on PlayStation 4 in Japan soon. The latest game in the hit Japanese series, Gundam Versus sees teams of two mobile suits go head-to-head...

  • News Press Square to Throw Kazuya Off a Cliff in This Tekken 7 Story Mode Gameplay

    Mind the drop

    The Mishimas have to be one of the most screwed up families in gaming, and their plight is at the heart of Tekken 7's cinematic story mode. Fortunately, if you've been on the lookout for actual footage from the fighter's aforementioned mode, you're in luck: GameSpot has spliced together ten minutes of cutscenes and gameplay, giving us...

  • News Resident Evil 7 Falls Short of Capcom's Sales Expectations

    Despite selling over 3.5 million units so far

    Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has failed to meet the sales expectations of publisher Capcom, the firm's latest financial report has revealed. The game – which was something of a critical darling – has sold a very respectable 3.5 million units thus far, but that's some way short of the four million units...

  • News Play the First Hour of PREY Free on PS4 Right Now

    Pray for PREY

    A quick heads-up for those out of the loop: PREY's demo is out now on the PlayStation 4 – in Europe at least. The opening hour is still planned for release in North America, but it looks like Bethesda has hit a snag that it's trying to rectify as we type. Hopefully that'll be sorted over the next few hours. Still, for those of you...

  • News May 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Announced

    They differ in NA and EU for the first time in years

    Well this is weird. For the first time in years, next month's PlayStation Plus selection will differ between North America and Europe. North American subscribers can look forward to ABZU and Tales from the Borderlands on PlayStation 4, while European users get Alienation instead of ABZU. Yep,...

  • Review Statik (PS4)

    Thinking outside the box

You awaken in a strange room as a test subject with both hands locked inside a puzzle box while your captor Dr Ingen observes you from afar.

  • Guide Dragon Quest Heroes II Tips and Tricks For Rookie Knights

    Listen up, cadet

    Dragon Quest Heroes II may be full of cute and colourful monsters, but you should never take them lightly. Indeed, the hack and slash sequel can be pretty darn tough at times, offering up some really tricky boss fights and foes that just don't know when to quit. As such, we've put together seven tips and tricks for rookie knights to...

  • Review Dragon Quest Heroes II (PS4)

    Royal rumble

    It's time to dust off those slime-smacking weapons, because Dynasty Warriors developer Omega Force is back for another stab at Square Enix's beloved Dragon Quest franchise. Once again, the Japanese studio offers up a colourful action role-playing game stuffed with charm and content. And as is usually the case with an Omega Force sequel,...

  • Review Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3 (PS4)

    Ghost in the hell

    After our multiple hours with Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3, we don't see it stalking much besides the bargain bin. Obviously this property has no relation to the sniper games created by Rebellion (Sniper Elite and Nazi Zombie Army), and after just a few minutes anyone can realise it definitely doesn't deserve to be riding the coattails...
