  • Review Nidhogg 2 (PS4)

    Nid I say more

    Nidhogg 2 is the very definition of an iterative sequel, in that it makes no changes to the core mechanics of its predecessor. You and a single opponent attempt to run towards opposite ends of a large 2D arena in order to be eaten by the giant cosmic worm known as the Nidhogg. It's probably going to take until Nidhogg 15 for us to...

  • News July 2017 NPD: Nintendo Switch Stops PS4 Party

    But systems were apparently neck and neck

    Nintendo managed to put enough Switch stock on American shelves to halt the PlayStation 4’s mini-winning streak, but both systems did well by all accounts. Leaked numbers put the platforms neck and neck, and Sony’s console is actually up year-over-year, which is a surprise. Considering that the device is...

  • News Sony's Really Ratcheting Up the Gran Turismo Sport Marketing

    Join the human race

    Gran Turismo is still technically Sony’s biggest franchise – even though we’d argue Uncharted gives it a run for its money these days. Nevertheless, you’d expect the platform holder to promote the upcoming Gran Turismo Sport pretty heavily ahead of its October release, and it’s just starting to put its foot on the gas...

  • News Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Fixes Chun-Li's Face

    Derp

    Chun-Li’s cruddy face has been fixed in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. The fighter’s latest trailer specifically focuses on the blue-dressed brawler’s visage in order to reveal that she no longer looks like a squashed potato. The facelift comes alongside news of the title’s full 30 character strong roster, which we’ve included below:...

  • Review Sudden Strike 4 (PS4)

    Dad's Barmy

    Sudden Strike 4 is a real-time strategy game set in World War II featuring three separate campaigns – one for the Allies, the Germans, and the Soviet Union – based on real battles. There’s over twenty missions in total, and these are presented to the player without any political pandering or moral high-grounds. World War...

  • Review Matterfall (PS4)

    Zero-G Suit Samus

    In a weird kind of way, Matterfall is what Mighty No. 9 was supposed to be. Artistically, the Housemarque developed side-scroller couldn’t be different to Keiji Inafune’s cartoon Kickstarter, but the gameplay – which is designed around a dash mechanic, just like Mega Man’s ill-fated spiritual successor – has many...

  • News NieR: Automata May Very Well Have Saved Platinum Games

    2B's bubble butt cushions company to safety

    Platinum Games is no stranger to bombas, with practically every title that it’s developed flopping at some point or other. But you may remember that not too long ago, the studio was put in a difficult position: Xbox One exclusive Scalebound was cancelled, and NieR: Automata didn’t look like it was...

  • Store Update 15th August 2017 (Europe)

    Here we go again

    In a year that’s been pretty stellar for the PlayStation 4, this may just be the best PlayStation Store update of them all. There’s so many highlights here we’re going to do away with drawn-out pre-ambles and get straight to the point: Sonic Mania is ace; Undertale is a cult hit; Cities: Skylines is acclaimed on other...
