What's the Matter?
As Bungie continues its work on Destiny 2 having just released the Forsaken expansion pack, it appears that it has some other projects brewing behind the scenes.

More new footage coming soon
Correction: The new trailer arrives today, not tomorrow. We've amended the article to reflect this.

News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 19 Is Already the Biggest Game of the Year
But sales are down compared to 2018
FIFA 19 sprung Marvel Spider-Man’s offside trap to secure the biggest launch of 2018 in the UK – even though physical sales are down 25 per cent year-over-year. It’s worth remembering that GfK Chart-Track only takes into account physical sales right now, so the digital data may skew matters somewhat. The...

Review CREED: Rise to Glory - Should Have Been a Knockout
Sun’s out, guns out
Boxing seems like a perfect area for virtual reality to explore. The tactile nature of beating the pulp out of another person seems ripe for the medium, and there have been relatively few PlayStation VR boxing forays thus far, making CREED: Rise to Glory stand out a little more than it otherwise might.

Review Life Is Strange 2 - Episode 1: Roads Is Profoundly Political
A tale of two sons
Life Is Strange 2 is profoundly political, but that shouldn’t be a surprise.

Hands On Ace Combat 7's Unknown Skies Are Reassuringly Familiar
Triggered
You can always rely on Ace Combat to bring a dose of melodrama to the war-torn skies of fictional states. Except it’s been four long years since the last instalment in the series – and even that was a shoddy free-to-play version for the PlayStation 3. No, you have to go back as far as 2011 for the last Ace Combat proper: the divisive...

Hands On Team Sonic Racing Takes a Tailspin on PS4
Not-so super, Sonic
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is, for our money, one of the few kart racers that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as Nintendo’s all-conquering Mario Kart series.

Hands On Starlink: Battle for Atlas Shows Promise That Could Prove Costly
Toys to life
As a concept, it feels like Starlink: Battle for Atlas is three years late to the party.

News Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's Launch Trailer Highlights Oddball Trio of Modes
Gun game
Ditching a single player campaign in favour of three multiplayer modes with much longer potential lifespans could prove to be a smart decision in the end, but Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 doesn't half look like an odd package as a result.
