News All Clues Point to a London Setting for Watch Dogs 3
Oi oi
Watch Dogs 3 will very likely be revealed at E3 this year. The sequel's been rumoured for what feels like an age, and in a year when Ubisoft has said that Assassin's Creed will be taking a break, it makes sense for the open world hack-a-thon to make a return in its absence. It's also long been rumoured that Watch Dogs 3 will take place in...

Review Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition - Back with a Bang
Boom Claptrap
Ten years ago, Borderlands felt like a breath of fresh air. It stood apart from the games that were chasing Call of Duty’s shadow by channelling Diablo more than Desert Storm. Its signature loot mechanic became a selling point, but Borderlands always offered more than that. It was funny, charming, and wholly unique. And in a world...

News Boss Rush Action Game Furi Updated on PS4, Adds Invincible Mode and New Control Scheme
Freedom
Furi is secretly one of PS4's best indie titles. It was on PS Plus back in 2016, and we really liked the mash up of bullet hell and hack and slash in its various boss fights.
