News Sony: Nintendo's Doing Wonderful Things with the Switch
Platform holder doesn't subscribe to the console war

Review Metro: Exodus - Technical Limitations Subdue an Otherwise Solid Shooter
Rusty Russia
Metro: Exodus feels like it should be the series’ coming-out party. After two fairly niche releases on the previous generation of consoles, the third instalment is quite clearly positioning itself as the best post-apocalyptic experience from developer 4A Games yet. It’s a grand promise, but the finished product doesn’t manage to...
News Don't Expect Diablo 4 This Year, No Big Blizzard Games Coming in 2019
Out in the cold
We pretty much know that Blizzard is hard at work on Diablo 4.

News THQ Nordic Has a Mind Boggling 77 Games in Development
And a whopping 48 are unannounced
Well, here’s a headline we never thought we’d write: THQ Nordic has an incredible 77 games in development. That figure’s accurate as of the end of last year, so is probably even higher now given its recent acquisition of Kingdom Come: Deliverance developer Warhorse Studios among others. While it’s possible...

Don't forget your seatbelt
Dangerous Driving is the game Three Fields Entertainment has been building up to for some time.

Danger...
Review Conarium - An Atmospheric Lovecraftian Adventure
Spectacles, tentacles, wallet, and watch
Thrusting us tentacle first into the weird and wonderful world of H.P Lovecraft, Zoetrope Interactive has ported its Steam release, Conarium, to PlayStation 4.

News Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Spins Past 10 Million Units Sold
Woah!
If you were wondering why Activision is continuing to remake some classic titles, look no further than the success of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Initially launching with a bang on PS4 in July 2017, the game eventually made its way to other platforms, boosting its already healthy numbers significantly. The publisher confirmed during its...
News Call of Duty 2019 to Feature 'Entirely New Campaign' Says Activision
Single player story returns

It’s unclear what content the server stress test will include, but it’s...
News World War Z Will Rise from Its Grave on 16th April
End of the world as Z know it
World War Z will get you in the zombie stomping mood when it releases on 16th April – ten days prior to Sony’s own apocalyptic shooter Days Gone. Saber Interactive’s co-op title obviously has a multiplayer focus, so it’s not identical to the PlayStation 4 exclusive – but its emphasis on the undead did prompt...

Star light zone

News A Watermark Accidentally Left in Kingdom Hearts 3 Has Been Found by Players
Hey Arnold
Man, the internet picks up on everything. If you make the tiniest of mistakes, you can be sure as heck you'll be called out on it -- especially when it concerns uber-popular media. It's Kingdom Hearts III that's been put under the microscope this time, as it seems one particular frame of one particular cutscene bears an unsightly...

News PlayStation Coy on Communication Plans for 2019
No word on when we'll get updates from Sony this year
Sony said at the end of last year that it’s looking to crank up communication with PlayStation fans in 2019, but in a rare interview, Worldwide Studios chairman Shawn Layden failed to express exactly what the organisation has in store. To make matters more infuriating, this is the first time a...
News Sony Will Leave No Gamer Behind, Says There's Life in Local Consoles Yet
Investment in streaming will continue, though
You wouldn’t know that Sony’s the only major gaming manufacturer with a cloud-based streaming solution, would you?

News PlayStation's Studio Acquisition Strategy Focused on Firms with Best Cultural Fit
Platform holder always exploring opportunities

News Sony: The World's Got All the Battle Royale It Needs Right Now
Company won't make me-too decisions
When you consider that PlayStation already plays host to every third-party property that matters, we suppose it’s a bit silly for Sony to be chasing trends with exclusive titles. This is something it did in the past, with so-called “Halo killers” like Killzone and Resistance – but more recently it’s...

News This Is How Days Gone's Multiplayer May Have Looked
World War Z introduces competitive multiplayer suite

Oopsie daisy
In case you weren't aware, Ubisoft hosted a private beta for The Division 2 over the weekend, which came to a close a couple of hours ago.

Review Spike Volleyball - Life's a Beach and Then You Cry
Will do, Spike
For an extremely popular genre, the budget distribution across sports games is somewhat out of whack. You’ve got FIFA at the top of the league, with Madden and NBA 2K not far behind – but not even popular sports like tennis can get appropriate funding these days, resulting in rubbish attempts like Tennis World Tour. You’d think...

"Ten million relief plan"
If you asked us what the teaser trailer for Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown's season pass would look like, we'd probably say a minute or so of footage showing dogfighting, explosions, and a sprinkling of story hints. What we actually have is the above, a rather unusual video that doesn't really have any of that. Okay, so it...
