Yuri will be thrilled
There’s a recurring Spider-Cop gag right the way through Marvel’s Spider-Man, but was Insomniac Games planning a secret suit as the final punchline?

Be proud of this technological terror
Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series came as a bit of a surprise. We'd expected a bit of a cash grab, but the actual product is decent if unorthodox package.

Review bombing is nothing new, and it affects even the best games like The Last of Us: Part II.

The title is currently rated a 0.3 on the PlayStation 4, having...

Déjà vu
Alright, stop us if you’ve heard this one before: NHL 21 feels a lot like last year’s game.

News Big Yeetus, a Randomly Spawning Hammer, Will Shake Up Fall Guys Levels Soon
Yeet
Fall Guys is great and all, but until Season Two hits next month, we'll be playing all the same levels over and over.

News Madden NFL 21 Patch Outlined as Fans Urge NFL to Ditch EA Sports
#NFLDropEA
Whether or not you think Madden NFL 21’s gameplay has stagnated, there’s simply no denying that this year’s game lacks polish.

Mini Review Nexomon: Extinction - With an Update or Two, This Could Be a Solid Pokémon Clone
Nixomon
Nexomon: Extinction is the best Pokémon clone you'll find on PlayStation 4 -- but admittedly, that isn't saying much. The addictive quality of catching and training often cute, sometimes cool looking monsters is here, but the game as a whole is let down by some uneven design. Nexomon doesn't really care that it's a blatant Pokémon...

Review WRC 9 - A Compelling Rally Sim That's Gone from Good to Great
Don't confuse speed with haste
Annual games have a bit of a reputation for rehashing the same old thing year after year with only minor improvements. Some say it’s a license to print money. Rally is hardly in the mainstream, however, and neither is developer Kylotonn’s approach to the FIA World Rally Championship. With significant strides made...

Review Madden NFL 21 - Football Brings All the Boys to the Yard
Fumble
Madden NFL 21 finds itself in a particularly peculiar position this year.

Despite bundling in a potential series cornerstone in the Yard, this is a relatively low-effort...

Bus Simulator on the PlayStation 4 straddled the line between serious simulation and silly sandbox, which resulted in an occasionally unwieldy but otherwise likeable title that knew exactly what it wanted to be.
