  • Review Sundered (PS4)

    Torn asunder

    Sundered, the most recent release from Thunder Lotus Games – makers of Jotun – is another in a long line of successful Kickstarter ventures. While there have been some crowd-funded stinkers, others have been rousing successes, like the incredible Hyper Light Drifter. Sundered lands somewhere in the middle of those two as it does...

  • News Sony Japan Reminds People That Dragon Quest XI Isn't Just Portable on 3DS

    Remote play footage shown

    Dragon Quest XI is in a bit of a strange situation. The game launches in Japan tomorrow on both the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo 3DS, but Sony has obviously been marketing the title as if the handheld version doesn't exist. This is expected of course -- the PlayStation maker isn't going to go and advertise a rival's...

    Gun-damn good news

    Over the years, the Gundam franchise has introduced many a fan to catchy Japanese tunes.

  • Review Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure (PS4)

    A cynical review

    It’s safe to say that point and click adventure games are - and mostly have been - something of a rarity on console, let alone the PlayStation 4.

  • Review Vostok Inc (PS4)

    Dope mine

    What if an idle clicker tasked you with more than bashing buttons and twiddling your thumbs? Vostok Inc is the answer: a galactic greed-‘em-up that pads profiteering with twin-stick shooting. This kitsch clash of genres comes care of The Hungry Horde developer Nosebleed Interactive, and shares its penchant for offbeat bonus content...

  • Review Conga Master (PS4)

    King conga

    A game about conga lines, what could possibly go wrong? Conga Master is a bit like Nokia 3210 favourite Snake with more fancy footwork and less Angel di Maria.

  • Review Smashbox Arena (PS4)

    Smash 'n' grab

    Smashbox Arena is like a goofy PlayStation VR mix of SOCOM and dodgeball.

  • Review Aven Colony (PS4)

    Aventually

    Aven Colony tells the story of the human colonisation of an alien world, and each mission of the fifteen hour campaign is a variation on that one, singular idea.

  • Review Infinite Minigolf (PS4)

    Tiger W∞ds

This means that you could,...

  • Review Tiny Trax (PS4)

    Micro machines

    Tiny Trax is one of those games that’s just really good, y’know? Velocity 2X developer FuturLab rarely ever disappoints, and its PlayStation VR debut is predictably spot-on.

  • Review Theseus (PS4)

    Labyrinth and repeat

    The tale of Theseus isn’t exactly a bad starting point for a video game. One of Greek mythology’s more popular yarns, it obviously depicts the titular warrior’s conflict with a murderous Minotaur – and his relationship with Ariadne, a descendent of Zeus. And that’s exactly the subject of this third-person PlayStation...
