Mini Review Doctor Who: The Edge of Time - A PSVR Game Only Whovians Could Love
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey
It's always felt like BBC's campy sci-fi show should be a home run in video games, but it's rarely translated well to an interactive format. PlayStation VR adventure Doctor Who: The Edge of Time is an effort to change that, but it's ultimately a bit flat, leaning a little too heavily on fan-pleasing moments instead of...

But could be bogus
As the ill-fated Uncharted movie and recently established PlayStation Productions can attest, Sony’s a fan of video game adaptations.

News Need for Speed Heat Quickly Becomes the Most Played Entry This Generation
Speed demon
While it wasn't quite the grandest return for the racing franchise, we liked Need for Speed Heat.

The follow-up fans wanted
It’s been almost 18 years since Shenmue II released on the Dreamcast in Europe, but its long-awaited sequel feels like it’s been preserved in a time (toy?) capsule during that time.

Mini Review Bee Simulator - A Good Natured Game, But It Still Stings
More like half-a-bee
There's a simulator for all kinds of weirdly specific things these days, to the point where it's a bit of a running joke.
