Poor man's Splatoon?
Nine years after its appearance on the Wii, de Blob has rolled onto the PlayStation 4. While certainly an unexpected port, it isn’t an unwelcome one.

Cop a feel
Fun fact: did you know that L.A. Noire actually released closer to the 1940s than to 2017? If you used your detective skills to deduce that this is a lie, then Team Bondi’s noir classic could be your type of game. Newly remastered by Rockstar, the detective thriller is as confounding and cool as it was back in 2011, with a new lick of...

Lovin' it
No Man’s Sky added its base building features a little while back, but we were oblivious to the fact that people were actually getting rather creative with them.

Hands On Skyrim VR Has Improved a Helluva Lot with PlayStation VR
The Elder Scrolls V's final build fares much better in virtual reality

News Japanese Sales Charts: Sonic Forces Completely Flops as Awful New Need for Speed Overtakes
Insult to injury
Well would you look at that, the latest Japanese sales charts actually offer up some interesting talking points.

Review Guardians of the Galaxy: Episode Five - Don't Stop Believin' (PS4)
I am Groot
It's probably a little bit late in the day but Don't Stop Believin', the final episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy, is easily the best episode of the series to date. That might not sound like glowing praise given the often painful mediocrity of the previous episodes, but it at least makes for a nice surprise and leaves us with a...

Frantastic
Last month, Square Enix announced that Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age had shifted one million copies on PlayStation 4, taking both shipped figures and digital sales into account.

Hardware Review PSVR Review - Should You Buy PlayStation VR?
Virtual revolution
At least I can say I have lived. Sony's award-winning 1999 commercial hinged on one simple, indelible message: PlayStation has the power to transform you into someone you're not; the capacity to transport you to places that you've never been to before. And in the near-two decades since that promise was made, the Japanese giant's...

Store Update 14th November 2017 (Europe)
All aboard the Cole train
We would say it’s a big week on the European PlayStation Store this week, but big weeks have become the norm lately, so it’s just an average update really.

Review LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 (PS4)
Loki alright
With Marvel releasing films almost weekly, it feels like the superhero craze of the last decade is starting to reach critical mass.

Round Up Star Wars Battlefront 2 Reviews Lurch Towards the Dark Side
Palpatine's having palpatations
The original Star Wars Battlefront was one of those edge cases where it attracted a mixed critical response but was actually reasonably well-liked by fans.

News Sony's New Live Action Star Wars Commercial Plays the Nostalgia Card
Love at first Sith
Every love story starts and ends with Star Wars, right? Only in commercials? Fair enough, but it does make for a damn good ad, you’ve got to admit. Like the spot from a few years back, Sony is going hard with the nostalgia card here, as it markets Battlefront 2 at young adults who’ve grown up with George Lucas’ sci-fi...

News Tekken 7 Input Lag Is Being Improved on PS4
Update expected this year
Since its launch earlier in the year, Tekken 7 on PlayStation 4 has been criticised for the amount of input lag that it has.

Soapbox Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus Is a Better Game to Watch Than to Play
Liam's feeling conflicted
It’s hard to call Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus my most disappointing game of 2017 when Mass Effect Andromeda released just shy of nine months ago. But, if it wasn’t for that let-down of a space excursion, BJ Blazkowicz’s latest Nazi rampage would be taking that less than coveted prize. However, this...

But there are caveats
Microsoft’s mid-gen refresh the Xbox One X launched with sales in the region of 80,000 units in the UK, dwarfing the 50,000 units launch of the PlayStation 4 Pro last November.

Soapbox Video Game Delays Are Important
Gabriella urges patience
When your most anticipated game is delayed, it can be a painful pill to swallow. Admittedly, I’ve had my fair share of these instances in the past.
