Poll Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for November 2021?
Plus or minus?
Last weekend came and went without a PlayStation Plus leak, and for the fist time in five months, we thought that Sony had finally managed to keep a secret.

Mini Review Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars (PS4) - A Memorable JRPG That Loses Steam Later On
Between Bliss and Blight
Don't let the name fool you — Voice of Cards: The Isle Dragon Roars is not a card game. You're not building a deck or duelling opponents for a chance at winning their prized possessions.

Mini Review Pumpkin Jack: New-Gen Edition (PS5) - Halloween Platformer Is Four Hours of PS2 Era Fun
Jack's back
Pumpkin Jack is an action platformer that harkens back to simpler times. It released for PlayStation 4 last year, but we foolishly missed out on the fun.

Mini Review Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality (PS4) - Rickety Time Travel Title Struggles to Dazzle
Not quite the trip of a lifetime
Playing through Doctor Who: The Edge of Reality, we can't shake the feeling we've been here before. Maybe it’s because we’ve just travelled backwards in time. More likely, though, it's because this is an enhanced version of a previously released VR experience — only now with added David Tennant! Knowing this...

To infinity
Ubisoft has already confirmed that Assassin's Creed Infinity is in development. Supposedly, Infinity is a massive project — an "online platform" that will be expanded on for years to come.

Mini Review Backbone (PS5) - Escalating Mystery Bites Off More Than It Can Chew
A dog eat dog world
Backbone makes a great first impression. This is a noir, narrative-driven game in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, all living their lives in a dystopian city.

News Five Nights at Freddy's the Most Viewed Trailer from State of Play
But weak metrics overall
The reaction to this week’s State of Play has been, well, muted to put it kindly.

Mini Review Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water (PS5) - Remaster Is More of a Trick Than Treat
Camera shy
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water wasn't anything special back in 2015 on Nintendo Wii U, and it's no better six years later.
