News Is Subscription Service EA Access Finally Coming to the PS4?
EA hints at more platforms
Prior to launch, Sony insinuated that EA Access represented poor value for money, and that hasn’t really turned out to be true. The service has, in fact, gone from strength-to-strength – and it certainly hasn’t culminated in a glut of copy cats from rival publishers like Activision and Ubisoft. Not yet, anyway. And...

Swing and a miss
ELEX is an open world role-playing game from a developer with an incredibly spotty track record. No stranger to B-tier titles (with the B sometimes standing for Bin), German studio Piranha Bytes has amassed something of a cult following over the years. ELEX is bound to find an audience, but that audience is bound to be small – and...
Trials of fluff
In the same vein as Abzu, Journey, and the recent AER: Memories of Old, Oure likes to keep itself a little vague. Developer Heavy Spectrum, best known for its work on last year’s Shadow of the Beast, has taken clear inspiration from the likes of thatgamecompany’s masterpiece – but does this help turn Oure into a memorable...
