Hands On Chernobyl VR Shows How Educational Experiences Can Excel in Virtual Reality
Ghost town
The Farm 51 quietly released a new educational experience on the PlayStation Store recently: Chernobyl VR Project. The developer’s perhaps best known for its work on Painkiller or the more recent Get Even, but to our knowledge this is the Polish studio’s first crack at something more akin to a documentary. The premise, as you’ve...
News Hellblade's Accolades Trailer Favours Players Over Pithy Press Clichés
Buy the game tomorrow and support a good cause
How many times does the press need to tell you the latest game is the best you’ve ever played? Even as reviewers, we appreciate you’ve probably got the memo by now. It’s so refreshing to see Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice take a different direction for its accolades trailer, then. This clip is...

Abilities, skills, and upgrades analysed
Middle-earth: Shadow of War has a reasonably meaty skill system for you chew through, boosting protagonist Talion's abilities in and out of combat. The system is made up of six different skill trees, each offering different kinds of abilities, techniques, and specialities. It's not quite as deep as some...

This week sees 28 new games arrive on Sony’s plaza, including big name sequels like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and The Evil Within 2.

Hands On Star Wars Battlefront 2 Is a Clumsy, Complicated Sequel
Not feeling the force
Have you heard that famous Steve Jobs quote where he implies people don’t really know what they want? It’s all we’ve been thinking about playing the Star Wars Battlefront 2 beta. The thing is, we complained about the original game: we said it lacked depth, customisation, and replay value. And we weren’t the only ones:...
News UK Sales Charts: FIFA 18 Tightens Its Grip on Championship Spot
Title challenge
Yeah, very few games would have been able to dethrone FIFA 18 in its second week on the UK sales charts, as it posted numbers that most games would be proud of in their first week on sale. Xbox One exclusive Forza Motorsport 7 was the only title to really threaten the soccer sim’s crown, and it saw its sales dip compared to its...
News Gran Turismo Sport Plays the Nostalgia Card for UK Commercial
History lesson
Gran Turismo Sport’s marketing onslaught is starting to ramp up in the UK, and one cool commercial that’s running on social media (and potentially TV as well?) is this nostalgic look back at the brand's evolution. It basically runs through the years to the beat of the franchise’s iconic honk, ending with a quick look at the...
Push Play Top of the PS4 Pops – Issue 6
Rock 'n' roll
Coming off such an extraordinary month for game music in August means September was a little underwhelming by comparison, but that doesn’t mean there was nothing worth paying attention to. Some big names released this past month, and brought some significant music with them. And some lesser known titles brought great music into the...
Dreddful?
JYDGE is a top-down, twin-stick shooter not too dissimilar to Hotline Miami. You take on the role of what can only be described as a knockoff Judge Dredd, who is tasked with dishing out justice with his gavel gun. The entire game is level based: each one set in a different location where the criminals have gathered hostages or stock piles...
News Assassin's Creed Origins Will Let You Spend Your Egyptian Pounds on Loot Boxes
Pyramid scheme
Gamers are still irate over Middle-earth: Shadow of War’s loot boxes, but here’s another primarily single player title vying for your moolah. A screenshot from Assassin’s Creed Origins has revealed that, yes, it has crates for you to buy. While the image shows a fictional in-game currency, past Assassin’s Creed titles allowed...
News Gran Turismo Sport's Attract Mode Is a Thing of Beauty
Different class
Attract modes are great. Originally employed by arcade games to draw attention and coax quarters out of unsuspecting pockets, they’re not quite as common on console games these days. They still exist, of course: MLB The Show 17 has a great one where it’ll start up a CPU vs CPU game which you can join at any time. But this Gran...

Review Baja: Edge of Control HD (PS4)
Offroading like it's '08
Baja: Edge of Control was a title that released last generation back in 2008. Nine years later, publisher THQ Nordic and developer 2XL Games have decided to remaster this title and dub it “HD” (because, you know, last generation games weren’t HD already). That being said, lets see how this off-road racer fares for the...
Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 189
On the agenda
Well, this is it, then: the start of silly season.

Sammy Barker, Editor: I’ll be patiently waiting...

Not exactly light weight
Gran Turismo Sport’s timed demo is available to pre-load now in some territories, and its file size is an absolute monster.

Hands On Shining a Light on PlayStation VR Puzzler Light Tracer
Beam cast
It can seem, at times, like everyone is making the same kind of PlayStation VR games. This isn’t true, of course, as there’s plenty of variety on the headset – but there is an overabundance of cockpit-based mech games and shooting galleries. Light Tracer deserves kudos, then, for at least trying its hand at something new –...

200 retailers participating

Poll Are You Still Playing Destiny 2 One Month Later?
Still going, Guardian?
Destiny 2 launched one month ago today, but is it still dominating your gaming time? Bungie's latest had a big launch -- you couldn't avoid hearing about it for weeks -- but it seems to have dropped off for a lot of people. We're sure it's still incredibly popular, but it's safe to say that the honeymoon period is over. As...
PlayStation Store Sales Charts Destiny 2 Doesn't Disappoint
But still can't topple FIFA 18 in Europe
With Destiny 2 sales down at retail, Bungie’s sequel needed to put in a big performance on the PlayStation Store – and, well, it topped the PlayStation Store sales charts for North America in September. But in Europe it was toppled by an even bigger brand: FIFA 18 shot straight to the number one in the...
News Bungie Wants to Know What You Want from Destiny 2's First Expansion
More of everything?
We feel like Destiny 2 got off to a good start, but as with the first game, we're now seeing a lot of complaints floating around the 'net. The most popular criticism seems to be that the sequel's endgame just isn't compelling enough. Once again, we're seeing dedicated players polish off just about everything that the release has...
Bang in form
Surprise surprise, FIFA 18 is another rock solid entry in EA's footie sim series. Why wouldn't it be? It feels like the developer pretty much nailed its formula years ago, and ever since, it's just tweaked and added things little by little with each annual instalment. This year's title is no different. It looks better, it plays better,...
News Agent 47's Polishing His Pate Ahead of New Hitman Content
Bald but back
There’s new Hitman content on the way. IO Interactive has been through a turbulent time behind-the-scenes, breaking away from owner Square Enix just as its first season of assassination contracts were at peak popularity – but it seems like it’s got its proverbial in order, and is ready to reveal new content on 24th October.

Weirdness Telltale Has Really Gone and Cocked Up This Time
Mistakenly uses image of assassinated Russian ambassador
The new episode of Telltale’s Batman is genuinely one of the best chapters it’s put out in months, but Houston we have a problem. Eagle-eyed gamers have noticed an out-of-place asset in the title: the body of an assassinated Russian ambassador. We’re not going to host the images here...
News Some Savvy Publishers Are Now Using Trophies to Sell Ads
I'm lovin' it
2K Games never misses an opportunity to make a little extra cash on the side – just take a look at the microtransactions situation in NBA 2K18. But it may have hit rock bottom with WWE 2K18, selling the description and icons of a couple of its Trophies to KFC and Snickers respectively. Yes, that’s right – it’s quite literally...
News Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's Monster Hunter Slays from 17th October
Black Panther and Sigma also arrive
So, was Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s DLC done months ago? That’s the pervading rumour surrounding Capcom’s clumsily constructed brawler – and given how quickly Monster Hunter, Black Panther, and Sigma are being added in, we tend to believe it. Regardless, all three characters will be made available...
News Classic Call of Duty Map Carentan Returns in WWII
But only if you buy the Season Pass
The war-torn French town of Carentan has featured in multiple historical Call of Duty titles over the years – and it will return once more in the forthcoming Call of Duty: WWII.

News You Won't Want to Miss Paris Games Week, Says Sony
What's it got cooking?
Hmm, this is dangerous.

Variety
The latest Japanese software charts are in, and two PlayStation 4 titles are at the top. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III entered in first place, selling around 87,000 copies.

Let's go away
The real genius of NASCAR is its ability to transform a never-ending series of left-turns into bumper-to-bumper thrills and spills.

Rapid expansion
Sometimes a game just doesn’t land regardless of its quality. Expand, an indie title from Chris Johnson and Chris Larkin, fits the bill. It hit Steam back in 2015 with relatively little fanfare, and the same seems to be happening again. This lack of buzz around the game says nothing of its quality, however, as it's actually rather...
