Back to the past
Pixel Ripped 1989 is definitely one of PlayStation VR's weirder experiences and its sequel, Pixel Ripped 1995, looks set to continue that lineage. Out on PSVR tomorrow, this trip back to the 90s is apparently as grounded as it can be with rip-offs of gaming, TV, and movie classics. Bárbara Framil, narrative designer and writer at...

News UK Sales Charts: Final Fantasy VII Remake Leaves the Top 10 as GTA V Gains Ground
Still got it
The world has ground to a halt, and so too has the physical UK games chart. There's sadly not much to report this week, as new releases have dried up and we're left with the usual suspects.

Mini Review SuperMash - Genre Melding Experiment Is Novel But Shallow
Will it blend?
SuperMash has a neat central idea, but the game unfortunately can't quite deliver on it. You and your friends have discovered a strange console that's capable of blending two genres together, and you use it to stock the shelves of a game shop. Silly narrative aside, you select two of six genres, fiddle with settings like length and...
Mini Review Fury Unleashed - Comic Book Action Is Almost a Page-Turner
Gypsy king
Fury Unleashed doesn't live up to the name of its developer, but it may still be worth checking out if you’re into Spelunky and Dead Cells. This comic book-inspired rogue-lite is packed with so much action that it quickly becomes the experience's defining trait. Despite it not doing anything new, Fury Unleashed is an enjoyable, if all...
It's coming, eventually
In the short time since Microsoft's Inside Xbox third-party digital event, both the team in green and Ubisoft have been heavily criticized for their use of the word "gameplay".

News Watch Six Seconds of Madden NFL 21 Next-Gen Gameplay
Into the endzone
Is it gameplay? Probably not, but that’s what EA Sports is describing this six-second look at Madden NFL 21 to be, so we’ll take the publisher’s word for it.
